I've noticed that too. And I think Superman as Clark Kent is bigger factor than some realize. And shows who brilliant Christopher Reeve was in the role. If we don't buy in to Superman playing the part of Clark Kent, I think the story falls apart. It was why 'Superman Returns' didn't work for me (though not the only reason).
I thought Routh did a fantastic Kent.

Fourth'd. Characters were awesome. The film's direction and general pacing was horrible. But it would've been a great start to some three-hour epic Superman bonanza.

That said, I am so much more excited for MOS.

Amazon samples of Hans Zimmer's score:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CKZX0AA/?tag=vglnk-c591-20

Overall I like everything, except for "Oil Rig" which is the definition of how to make a bad score. Launch sounds surprisingly much like parts of the Superman Returns score.

Sounds like another solid Zimmer score, but not as good as his best ones like The Last Samurai or something.

The whole page is down for some reason, how disappointing.. Well then here's the track listing at least:

And here are the samples from Zimmer's score, all in one YouTube clip about 6 minutes long.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tilzHt_oTgQ#!

The best one I think is the one that starts at 2:00, and the absolute worst is the second one, "Oil Rig".

The opinion I have so far is that it all sounds really good and epic but there's no "rememberable" melody. Of course I realize that this is only a small part of the score. I also hear seeds of really cool melodies I hope Zimmer develops more in the parts we don't hear.

Also, the clip that starts at 4:00 sounds very much like certain parts of the Superman Returns score.

That link is taken down as well. Looks like we'll have have to wait a bit to hear the scores.



Has anyone realized that both of Superman's fathers are Robin Hood?!?

Damnit, is it really that hard to just get to talk about some freaking 30 second samples..

Well, if I find anything else in the future I'll post it, otherwise I guess it'll have to wait until it's released.

^ Awesome, thank you.

I'll just quote my opinions from before about it

23 minutes of Hans Zimmer's score. Don't know if you can even see this like the last videos but I thought I should try.

God damn dude, the 'fate of your planet' trailer gets me so sudowoodo. I really, really want to see this movie. I'm never excited, or even remotely want to go see movies at the theater; but I'm definitely going to see this in a theater.

Yeah I don't go very often either but probably more often than you.

Went to see Into Darkness three times and next I might go see

The Worlds End
Man Of Steel
Elysium

I don't know what else is out this year that I wanna see.


When I worked at the cinema - I got to see films free and I saw The Hobbit , Life Of Pi and Skyfall for free :)

My list of movies I want to see on the big screen consists of 7 movies this year. Oblivion, Iron Man 3, Star Trek Into Darkness, After Earth, Man of Steel, Thor: The Dark World and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. And out of those 7, Man of Steel is the one I'm looking forward to the most.

Then I have a list of 23 movies I want to see at all from 2013. But Man of Steel is still the one I'm most excited (and worried) for.

I heard poor things about Oblivion. Think it's a DVD one.
After Earth - not interested in any more Shy-ama-lama-ding-dong movies.
Man of Steel - probably.
Thor - Not really. Didn't see the first one.
Hobbit part 2 - Probably yes if it's in 48fps again. I saw the first one in 48fps and 3D and it was quite something.

Elysium - definitely - looks fantastic and Neill Blomkamp directing.  :tup

Next Year i'm looking forward to Christopher Nolan's outer space film " Interstellar ".

I just hope the rumor (POSSIBLE SPOILARZ) about Krypton not blowing up in this version aren't true.

Not true... I think that's in the basic synopsis. Or at least one of the trailers.

Excellent movie, super entertaining and not sure really why rottentomatoes has such a low rating, not that I'd care anyway. The action could've been curtailed a bit in the end.

The re-occuring criticism I've been reading with every negative review is it's not fun or have very little humor. MAN OF STEEL was very, very entertaining! I'm sorry, half of these critics probably never read a Superman comic, especially when John Byrne relaunched the character in the 80s. Superman isn't all sunshine like he was in the Reeves' movies. Besides, if you are going to critique a movie, critique the actual piece. Everyone was wanting a another Donner/Reeve movie. Last time someone tried to recreate that, people roasted it. I swear, movie critics have become high school girls, it pisses me off

To hell with them.  Superman was in dire need of a reboot and the movie delivers.  My dad, wife and I really loved it.  I loved both fathers and how Costner and Crowe played them.
