He didn't spend the whole movie questioning that, he saved the kids on the bus and he saved the oil tanker.. the only conflict was Pa Kent who out of love and understanding the way people react to things, was afraid that if people found out about clark, they'd want to kill him, view him as a threat. 

 

That's all there was to it. A father protecting his child.

 

I really love how all these MOS defenders are arguing the movie didn't have a character arc for Clark Kent.

 

It is because of his father that he questions whether he should save people or not.

 

Honestly, the point of MoS was Clark Kent choosing to be Superman. That's what the movie was about. 

[ChipDerby]

I honestly don't even know what we're talking about anymore. MOS had a character arc. And that made it bad?

KFP3 but no Dory?

 

C'mon now guys, that Baums me out. 

 

A good solid B movie shouldn't turn up on any best-of lists.  

[Jandrew]

These competition excuses make me laugh. SLOP is pulling $300M+, even though TWO other animated movies, plus another family movie (Jungle Book) have already done that this year. If people want to see it, they want to see it and they'll make the time. If they don't, they dont.
 

Competition obviously has an effect, but you guys are overstating it. SS is not going to grow magic legs from a "weak", nor will August's slates do much real "damage." Again from earlier: look at Dragon 2. People were expecting $300+ because of 1. the first goodwill, and 2. zero competition. Still didn't matter. 

 

The marketplace isnt that "pick and choose." If it was, studios wouldn't be marketing these movies, trying to differentiate and capture a certain audience.

No. I actually like MOS. like I said, I have no idea why people are arguing with me.

well then what are people even arguing?!

 

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT

[John Marston]

Man of Steel is unapologetically one of my favorite superhero movies

 

 

 

BvS wasn't all that good though (though it was somewhat doomed from the start I feel)

[DAJK]

No numbers?

 

Hopefully Suicide Squad picks up for the last shows (don't worry, it will). At my theatre for the first set of shows, Nine Lives beat every other movie, including Squad.

[excel1]

MOS is about Kal-El gaining faith in ever corrupt human society.

You must live on Mars or something. Nine Lives should not be beating any movie. Whats so ever. 

 

Also its looking at 60-65M for Friday with previews.

MoS is about Zack Snyder gaining faith in his bank account and S&M relationship with the moviegoing public.

I mostly agree, although I do think competition does have an effect. Low theater counts can kill mid to late legs.

Sounds like you have terrible theater-going audiences.

MoS is a solid movie. I think BvS would have been better if it hadn't basically repeated MoS' internal conflict for Kent. If we had seen him embrace being Superman rather than being miserable about it.

It was also his father who made him doubt humanity. Even so you boil that down to: should Kal El be Superman and save us?

 

It was an origin story. It had an origin story conflict.

MOS is like top 5 most disapointing theater experiences ever for me.
