MoS : 7.5/10
movie is good enough for me, full of action shots, flying,smashing heavy cars and buildings, and they always remind me of dbz -> in fact the scenes where our steelman powering up *emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/smiley_faces/goku-s-smiley-face.gif, aliens jumping on fighter planes and tearing them apart, people throwing each others through buildings, flying with shockwaves while breaking sound barrier - all reasons were there for me to get super excited, and may be the filmmakers were fan of dbz too i don't really know.
apart from that, the flashback story line was pretty cool, even though they could be somewhat less random for the sake of a better storyline (-ve marking here) and finally..... YAY, there is a superman movie that has less lois lane - clerk kent romanceand on top of that with a different flavor of actual elements of story, to actually make us feel its not a remake
of just another superman movie., putting them all together, was pretty enjoyable experience
.
ps. i kinda sympathize the krypton gen. he had a dream, too bad he could not think out a better way of fulfilling it.
I am watching this film for sure.

ummm to tell about that, helicopters don't really have that much of a reason to bow up, unless carrying explosives and those explosives blow up or the engine tank is ignited. they don't use highly combustible jet fuels, but more like kerosene stuff, so it takes time to blow up even if the tank is on fire.

Ek Thi Daayan was good upto interval . Climax is lol .
Agree with both of you here.
Not surprising that the movie didn't work at the box office.
All I know about movie "abhimaan" is that the songs are good.
Anyway, I watched Go Goa Gone yesterday and liked it. Any more such movies I should watch? Comedy/ZomCom?
TIA.
Abhimaan's good thing is not just songs the whole movie in itself is good and is based on true story.

Man Of Steel - 8/10.
Watched the movie today at inox BBSR in 3D. Went with cilus and his office mates.
The flashback is shown brilliantly and way better than the 1978 movie. Things make more sense here,why krypton was destroyed and why kal-el was different from the other kryptonians.
The simple up-bringing isn't enough to justify Superman's unbiased, strong willed and incorruptible decisions. The movie has brilliantly showcased these aspects.
The fighting sequences are astounding and justify the $225 million budget. Henry Cavill has played his part meticulously and arguably is the best man to don the cape and costume.
He has the spark and genuinely showcases his talents. His portrayal of MoS matches all the aspects shown in the comic books. Miles ahead than Brandon Routh's depiction. I won't compare with Christopher Reeve coz this is a more modern day depiction of Superman along with " Truth & Justice In The American Way".
Some parts had loop holes, but the overall origins plot is highly believable. The VFX and stunt sequences are one of the best in a Hollywood Movie. Superman's strength can be judged actually, in the way those effects had been done. The sense of scale was great too.
Will post a review in movie review thread.

Just got back from Man of Steel, it wasn't IMAX(booked the tickets for tuesday for it), but on a normal local screen.
Loved it, I'd give an 8.5/10
Henry Cavill is Superman, no doubt it, I liked him better than Reeve. Cast was all great, loved Costner's performance but his death was kinda lame, it wasn't bad, but they could have done it in a better way.
The script was pretty great, and I absolutely had no problem with the pacing, which a lot of people are complaining about. Hey, Batman Begins' and TDK's pacing felt awkward too, lot of people complained about the quick cuts, but just get used to it. Humor was great, not too much like the marvel films do, but perfect for its tone.
The best part for me wasn't the Superhero aspect of it (not that it wasn't good, it was done in an extremely fresh way), but the Sci-fi aspect of it. Props to Snyder and his team for fleshing out the krypton world so well, the whole world and its technology felt very believable, absolutely loved it. You will definitely get the 'Close encounters of Third kind' kind of experience sometimes. Its all a treat for the Sci fi folks.
If Snyder is going to work on the sequel, the first thing he'll need to fix are the over the top action sequences, especially the ones starting from the world engine sequence, and Superman's fight against one of them was really weird, felt extremely disjointed. Slow it down Snyder. The smallville fight was way more enjoyable.
Over all, they started with a solid foundation for the sequels or DCU.
Going to watch it for the second time on IMAX 3D on tuesday

I hope it does. But reviews look like they're gonna do a lot of damage
*looks at The Hobbit*

Hobbit is different, its coming off of from the success of Lord of the Rings, which was a huge success not only at the box office but with the critics too. So it was kinda obvious that Hobbit would make it to the billion. Man of Steel on the other hand...is coming off of from Superman Returns(the lol movie
). Lets see, I hope it makes enough money to warrant a sequel and launches the DCU. What's important now, is how much the movie makes worldwide, the world loves iron man now, making it difficult for sups
