re: Why was Man of Steel so hated?

Man of Steel was a high octane, superhero, powerhouse of a movie. The action sequences were a blast, but at times over the top. The score was powerful, but sometimes over the top. The dialogue was poor. Superman and Jorel were great casting, IMO. Everyone else was not.

So.....does that translate to a great movie? No. But IMO it translates to a fun superhero movie.

I enjoyed seeing Superman kick arse like he never has before. A lot of fans enjoyed this. A lot of the fans wanted more of a "I have to save the people" type of mentality from Superman. And in some ways, I think they're right.

For future installments to be more successful, they need to find a better balance for what Superman is. I believe CA 2 found this balance perfectly. CA was badass, and yet he still had that "I will save the people" mentality. Since Superman is fighting on a much higher scale than most superheros, it will be more difficult for them to accomplish this.

He battles with as much speed as the Flash and with the strength of the Hulk. Collateral damage is harder to avoid in that situation.

What that balance is......I don't know. But they need to find it to make Superman complete, IMO

With that being said, I loved Man of Steel.
