Man of Steel is a good movie and Snyder is a great director.

[QUOTE="Gahars, post: 5082345, member: 282323"] Eh? I thought the movie was okay. The fights are good, but stretch out too long (especially the final fight with Zod). There's a lot of points where I see what they were trying to do, but were just executed poorly (Pa Kent's death, Zod's death). Snyder doesn't have a subtle bone in his body, and some of the scenes and dialogue are laughably obvious (Clark talking to the priest with the obvious Gethsemane picture constantly looming right behind them). Also, macking out with Lois Lane in the rubble of demolished city makes him seem a little callous. Speaking of Lois Lane, she's a bit useless and really had no place in a lot of the scenes (The Kryptonians want her... because? She gets on the military bomber... because?). Superman doesn't really save people; he stops Zod and saves Earth, but it's all sort of indirect. It might've made the final fight more interesting if Superman is actively trying to save/protect citizens while fending off Zod (lifting rubble, covering people from blasts, etc.). Henry Cavill's great in the role, and I think the movie was okay, but I don't think it's a good place to start building an entire cinematic universe, and considering how much DC is desperately trying to cram into Batman v. Superman ("Wonder Woman! Cyborg! Aquaman! Doomsday? Who cares, for the love of God, just get them in!"), I don't have much faith in it. I like Zack Snyder, but I don't think he's right for the job either; I appreciate that he's genuinely enthusiastic about the material he works with, but I feel like he doesn't really "get" it half the time. His over-the-top style would be better suited for more over-the-top material. If DC really cared about creating a quality cinematic universe like Marvel's (fite me irl), they would've put Bruce Timm in charge. They don't, of course, but man, imagine that... [/QUOTE]

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
