Man of Steel - Movie REACTION!! 

Can't wait for more dc

Awesome vid!

HYPE!

YESSSS

@UCe2rZ84oEvPrSi5D8E7v1tw it is the ultimate edition, don't worry 👍

Its the only soundtrack I have ever purchased

Agreed

AGREED

He should have won an Oscar for it

It’s my favorite score ever. Sheer power

Yes

I was hoping for Superboy some day with that actor, but who knows now...

@@neph6098 Wdym by that?

He's also part of teen wolf series so FYI and also Jonathan from now Superman and Lois series looks just like him too

@@neph6098 we already have a Superboy on TV series Superman and Lois and the actor who plays Jonathan Kent looks just like teen Henry cavill

I agree.

Honestly this movie was SO good man.

the soudtrack was the only good thing for me

@@GabrielRodrigues-ts3kp Are you serious?

@@lust9818 yeah, the soundtrack of course Hans Zimmer so it's great but after rewatching recently the movie is way worse than I remembered and I never found it good to begin with

never threaten superman's mother

@@sittingcrowd912 Injustice made that very clear.

While leaving his mother alone with two Kryptonians...

And then they turn into flying dildos and it gets kinda ruined lol

@@georgevelis4651 But hey, I was 13 when I watched it in theaters so I didn't understand lol.

But so weirdly HILARIOUS!!😂

I thought he was the weakest part of this movie. When he said "I WILL FIND HIM", I honestly thought he looked like a teenager having temper tantrums. He was so weak as general Zod.

@@ChyeahWill That is the comics. Zod is always like a teenager having temper tantrums in them. However, have Brainiac show up with Zod, and Zod would crap himself.

This movie’s score is tied with the BVS score for me, especially because of “Beautiful lie” and “you are my world”

Hans Zimmer has a way of making a good film even better.

@@SpiderBatFan and Lexs' theme

@@SpiderBatFan MARTHA

I also loved the movie and soundtrack. My favorite movie soundtrack is interstellar though.

Yea always loved that detail 👌

OMG

OMG. I never noticed that was blood. I thought that was debris.

@@goldenheart4575 that was not just blood. That was his whole head turned into molecules

Didn't even notice that wow. I love the detail you can hear it pop as well.

Reeve (or I guess Reeve's). Not an attack, just a pet peeve :).

Yh it's not nearly as bad as what people made it out to be

Also we have to aknowledge that superman is BY FAR the hardest super hero there is to direct

I really like this movie, I grew up watching Superman, JL animated series and i have always wanted to see Superman kick ass. And this is the first Superman movie where he actually does it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The only negative i have about this movie is Jonathan Kent's death. Apart from that i love this movie.

It being different doesn't make it good though. The writing in this film is still fucking atrocious

I wouldn't say I _love_ him killing Zod but I don't hate it (he felt forced to and is also utterly distraught at having to do it - I don't need Superman to _never_ do the "wrong" thing but I do need him to care when he does). Got plenty of issues with this film (though on balance I like it) but that's not one. (and nothing can fill the same place in me that Williams' theme does - it's just the difference between things you experience at 6 and things you experience at, well, a lot older than 6 :) - but the MoS score is fantastic)

Supes killing Zod is absolute unnecessary trash, top to bottom. 1) Oh, you can turn his head so much you break his goddamn neck but you can't turn his head away enough to save those people? GTFOH!!! 2) Taking lives isn't discussed in the movie AT ALL and the dramatic crux of the film is put on that moment. There's no weight to the decision because it doesn't seem like much of a decision. Pa Kent even suggested Clark let children die to keep his identity hidden! How is killing Zod even a problem for Kal after that? 3) And beside his initial subsequent reaction, there's no consequences for killing Zod. No human sees it as a problem and Kal isn't tortured or haunted by his choice to kill. He's happy-go-lucky in the next scene. It's a non-issue! If you have Superman kill someone, there should be repercussions! It's rendered completely arbitrary and falls so flat! 4) And it's a ridiculous notion for Kal-El to have formed his No-Kill rule after killing someone. Having killed someone isn't a prerequisite to understanding that killing is wrong. You have 20+ years of life to form that fucking rule! I mean shit! If you don't have that rule by 16, you're probably a sociopath! The fact that we're never shown Kal struggling with that idea and, instead, we're shown him struggle with "should I make my presence on Earth known" is the biggest disappointment of this movie! Most of the movie is about the human race not being ready for the news of aliens but his decision to let himself be seen by humanity means fuck all because Zod shows up. They spend 3 quarters of the movie on a thematic question and immediately rob the protag of any agency by taking his choice in the matter from him OR they don't raise thematic questions at all and undercut the climax by hinging it on a choice with no weight to it. Weaksauce McGee!

@@sirf4ce go watch the mcu bro they are "self aware"

@@sirf4ce It didn't matter where Clark took Zod, Zod wouldn't stop, he would have destroyed the world.

@@sirf4ce it wouldn’t matter if he managed to stop him then. Zod would keep trying no matter what until the world was destroyed.

Same. Beautiful Lie in BvS is amazing too

True, I love that this score was used snyder cut.

According to the script it is both yellow sunlight and Earth's environment.

im not sure if that argument would stand up in a lab

@@orangewarm1 Pretty sure gravity exists in labs.

@@eric2465 I’m specifically talking about the kryptonians with the suits on, they are only getting the gravity based powers, not the sun related ones (flight, heat vision, etc.)

Super strength is still an extension of the solar induced powers. Well, in comics anyway. But I don’t think Zack would change the canon of the comics when it comes to Superman getting his powers. The level of power yes, but not the method. Yes, they are stronger due to earths gravity being weaker than kryptons, but it would only make them stronger to a certain extent. While Superman is constantly getting stronger the more he remains on earth.

Same. His enthusiasm for this movie is contagious. I love it so much

And then she just stands there with her head tilted like an idiot while Elliot from SVU has a one liner before destroying the ship. Her super speed disappeared for some reason.

@@mhan00 that’s how it is for Superman too. Or the Flash. Plot > Powers.

Plus she's beautiful

Everything she's on screen I was hooked. Obviously she's hot, but bah gawd she is vicious af in this movie and I buy that she is a badass 😢

“Masterpiece”

Ya honestly Eric's reaction to things he loves makes them 10 times better, that being said a masterpiece implies that there are no flaws and this movie which is a great movie has many flaws.

I mean... It's cool to like and all, but let's not overuse words like "masterpiece".

@@crepperwlp No it's a masterpiece

I find so funny when someone says that likes a movie in a way and then comes other ppl like "it's not that good" like whatever for the person who said it it is

Over time, this has become my favorite Superman movie.

@@chaost4544 Honestly, I can't disagree with that. My parents bought the Christopher Reeve movies so I grew up on them and have a soft spot for their heart. But MoS is truly unique to me.

@@samuelstephen2762 Cavill's Superman feels the most organic to me. It's the Superman we would get in our current times. I loved Reeves version but his version always felt like a product of the Golden Age of comics and is pretty dated, imo.

I agree with all of the above comments.

Eric is the backbone of the channel. Without him the conversation would usually be dead. Calvins asked "what you think?" Most people would say "It was great" or "it sucked". What we get is "well it makes sense now in BvS!"??? Wow, what an exciting reaction. Also, maybe watch the first film before you watch the sequel. Jesus.

I'll tell you the simple reason why it wasn't well liked....He's not playing Christopher Reeve's Superman and because it was directed by Zack Snyder. I love the movie and most of the DCEU movies because they're doing something different with the characters. I don't want to see the same type of character again and again. Let Henry Cavill develop his own version of Superman and Clark Kent. CW already does a Christopher Reeve like Superman on TV. DC is finally embracing their multiverse :)

Because it doesn't pander to cheesy culture like Marvels films do.

Horrible effects during opening sequence... kevin costner's death was terribly done..Lois lane was a horrible casting choice...

@@theretrosavage Jonathan Kent was badly written all around.

Sameee. I disliked Superman cuz I thought he was OP, but that scene of him struggling and persevering through the Kryptonian atmospherics to destroy the World Engine was my gateway to loving Superman.

This video legit showcases the 3 types of ppl that watch Snyder films lmao. Guy on the left who's like a kid in wonder world appreciating everything and seeing all the little cool details while being very immersed in the world. Guy in the middle who's noticing cool stuff here and there, but generally lukewarm about the whole experience; it's not the highlight of his day but it wasn't bad either. And then you have the grouch on the right with his claws off body language, drunk on haterade and can't appreciate anything Snyder does.

@@PermanentHigh 😂 facts

@@PermanentHigh Yeah well Snyder overrated lol

@@PermanentHigh Or you're a weirdo fangirl that can't understand people just not enjoying something you like .

@@FirstLast-yh7gj Ah, do you're the guy on the right? Interesting

Lol they called it Man of Steel because The Dark Knight was their most popular and most successful superhero movie at the time.

It's called Man of Steel because, at the time, DC sued the Shuster heirs and avoided use the name "Superman" in case they lost.

@@StopReadingMyNameOrElse No are you slow 😂😂 that is literally why they called it man of steel also it's superman nickname its actually cool they use there superhero nicknames

@@bhughessr20 Did you really just immediately upvote your own comment right when you posted it? You know nothing about how movies get made. Paulo was actually the right one it was a rights issue, but calling it "Man of Steel" makes it sound edgy like "The Dark Knight" was even though the first movie was literally called "Batman Begins". You must be a kid.

@@StopReadingMyNameOrElse I don't have to be a kid to like edgy nicknames hey people like MCU that shit edgy as hell

@@DavidBennet I was upset that it wasn't received well, obviously the movie has flaws but I thought it was pretty decent. Like I said I still like the movie, people's opinions on it don't affect my enjoyment of it. Idk how tf you somehow came to that conclusion. Pretty pathetic honestly.

@@DavidBennet his opinion doesn't change but it can be disappointing that now he might not / didn't get to have as many good discussions about it when a majority who dislike/hate things usually don't have good discussions with criticism and just jump to insults. Kinda like you jumping to calling him pathetic and assuming he bases his opinion on others feelings.

@@jabzt Naw majority definitely had well thought out discussions if the films issues

@Jonathan Jones You're right. Zack Snyder's Justice League is now the best DCEU film. Man of Steel is still underrated.

@@justtoolit6051 a lot of people put it in their top 3 of dceu movies tho

Zack's work is really unapreciated. Christopher nolan worked on this movie to you can see that. The visuals, the depth of these characters portrayed is amazing

when I first saw it, I thought it was okay and then on rewatches over the few years when it like pops up on television I'd watch it I'd be like this is actually pretty good it has a lot of depth to it you don't notice at first and the fact that everyone got all pissed off that Superman killed zod is a strange thing to me given my own upbringing. Superman is a beacon of hope, that's not Superman that's the Man of steel that we see he's not Superman just yet and so he makes a mistake, or he makes the right choice it's all up to you to decide.

I have been a fan of this movie ever since it came out. I have never seen the Reeves Superman movies and as far as comics go, I have only read Watchmen...that’s it. I obviously know Superman cause he’s so prevalent in pop culture, but I have no attachment to the source material/previous adaptations. I feel like that’s definitely part of me liking it as much as I did.

@@Wizard_Pikachu I thought this movie was amazing within the first two minutes. What a great proper sci fi depiction of Krypton.

I don't like Snyder's Superman mainly because he seems to think Superman is Doctor Manhattan: an emotionally removed god that other than one or two people has no connection with humanity

If I'm not mistaken, all based on the conversation Jesus had with Satan with Satan offering Jesus power over the Earth and showing him all that could be his. DC really leans heavily into Judeo-Christian mythos. Even Wonder Woman was more Paradise Lost with Ares than greek mythology.

Little known fact...they were my abs (in my head)

Then I feel sorry for you, this is a very poor representation of the character.

Me too, this is the best superman movie ever

@@Matej_Sojka your opinion

Me too I always felt superman is just an overpowered dude and boring but this movie made him one of my fav. superhero.

Terrible choice....his death was poorly done

@@theretrosavage wah.

@@bobjimhonio2942 Clark can move faster than people can see. It was senseless.

@@banditoheat then you need to pay more attention to the movie and PA Kent with your senseless whinging.

@@bobjimhonio2942 Sure. "What should I have done, let them die?" "Maybe." Real solid portrayal, I totally get why you think that was well written. 🙄

First flight, dna, beautiful lie, their war here, lex luthor theme, wonder Woman theme in bvs must be added in list

@@anmatrix7636 Wonder Woman for sure. Lex as a villain theme given i’m only talking about superheroes. The rest are great but to me personally not as memorable

There are many DC themes which can be added in this list and most of them are memorable. The Dark Knight, The wonder Woman theme, BVS Beautiful lie, Flight, John Williams' Superman, Danny Elfman's Batman, JL animated series theme, The red capes are coming, etc

@@swift_lordyt6865 the two I’ve suggested are the best since the Williams theme for Superman and Elfman’s theme for Batman

@@bemasaberwyn55 Mr. Lucas

@@bemasaberwyn55 r*tarded comment, not funny, didn't laugh

Not really the technology either, keep in mind that was made in the 1970’s

Alot of people with their nostalgy goggles choose to ignore this obvious fact; there was no destruction in Reeves Superman movies simply because they were made in the 70's, no money and no tech to do it properly. What we see in Snyder's verse is simply the amount of destruction to be expected when there's a deathmatch of Kryptonian caliber

@@prof1185 In "Superman II" they demonstrate the sort of destruction that would happen if Kryptonians fought (given the effects and budget of the time) and _then_ they explicitly depict Superman moving the fight away from a populated area because of it. It's in the film, no "nostalgia goggles" required :). How the destruction is depicted _is_ a function of era and budget, how Superman _responds_ to it is a difference of approach to the character. And not an attack BTW but it's "Reeve" - no 's' on the end (just on his chest :). (i'd counter that die-hard Zack Snyder fans explain a _lot_ of the character choices made by appealing to realism - Clark's depicted as petty and vindictive because "realism", Superman apparently doesn't overly care about wholesale death and destruction because "realism", Jonathan dies the way he does because "realism" etc. etc. All the while, we're watching a movie where the hero can fly because the predominant wavelength of our sun's light is a few hundred nanometres different than the sun where he's from :)

@@anonymes2884 again, this Clark is only been Superman for a few days. Reeve's Superman in Superman II is already experienced. Its like when a guy is fighting for his life but then accidentally elbow an innocent kid behind hin at the process. Can you really blame the guy?

@@anonymes2884 man stfu and go watch Superman if you care about it so much. Man of Steel is a great movie and if you can't see that, I truly feel sorry for you

lmfaooo

Cringe

It's mostly the same reason 'cause Christopher Reeve's Superman didn't destroy or that Clark could've moved the fight somewhere else. Clark is fighting someone that's as strong as him, how do you move the fight away...Zod would just move it back towards the population.

Well they could have written it to be any situation, that’s what issue people had with it because you can literally write anything, and Superman that we’ve known for 80yrs would do all it takes to move the fight away from people and the city. As Eric said tho this is a young Superman. I’m fine with it and love it, but I see both ways.

@@nicoblac9368 Dont you think it's odd that people don't bring up this for the New York fight in the Avengers? Shouldnt the Avengers have moved the fight away from New York as well? I don't understand how people can expect these new heroes to know exactly what to do at all times, especially given the kind of character Clark is in this movie.

@@nicoblac9368 Oh, yea..of course :) We've had a live action superman in the 40's, 50's 70's, 80's, 90's, 2000's, 2010's which is a long time with a new superman....so rebooting superman with new actor is very hard because of all the legacy it carries.

@@Cryme69 one, the mcu literally did a whole movie about mass destruction during the NY fight, and two I think it’s down to the fact that the Avengers don’t really have the same values as Superman. Iron Man has a hero complex Thors a god, Hawkeye and Black Widow are assassins and the Hulk is a monster. They don’t care as long as they save the day. However Superman, values human life above all, he was born on Krypton but raised here. So it’s pretty strange to see him barrelling though buildings without giving a second though to who might be inside.

Its cool cause the general I think is the only one that didn’t back up in fear

I always laugh out loud, it's so fu@king over the top

Yep, imagine you're so xenophobic you literally find an alien race that looks and acts just like your people used to and lives on a planet that gives you superpowers so they can't kill you even with a nuke to the face and you decide on global genocide.

@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps historically speaking, genocide or enslavement are the two realistic choices

@@3COI There's historical precedence of a species of god-aliens relocating to Earth?

@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps but they are historical facts that happen like the spanish inquisition, british collonial and etc. Why would they attack, conquer and enslave other countries then?

@@afifazim5263 Because they couldn't just nuke them and leave fertile garden soil like the Kryptonians here can?

@Jonathan Jones yes it is.

Easily. It doesn’t have much competition tho😂 Aquaman and Shazam are great aswell but this is the better one. And the other dc movies suck

@@DavidBennet wouldn’t call it excellent but definitely good. But Suicide Squad, Justice League, BvS, and especially the Harley Quinn solo film are bad

Zack Snyder's Justice League is the best DCEU movie.

@@Bavarian_Lifting Josstice League doesn’t count, Zack’s cut is the only true canon version

@@tiffanyhendricks1860 I agree now that it’s released.

It's understandable to mistake it for that but Clark says afterward "I didn't kill those people" - he must have used his own body to knock through the walls (and/or punched them with his other arm) and then take the guy with him... which makes sense anyway, as if he'd actually used the guy as a battering ram there'd have been a big explosion of blood with the first one.

Its morbin time

Exactly! AND there's the thematic side in that it's a film that's all about choice and free will, and Jonathan _chose_ to die, and Clark had to choose to let him. It works so perfectly to this story.

My problem with it is that the only reason Johnathon died is because he hurt his leg and is an old man. If Clark ran to get the dog instead he would’ve just gotten it no issue and no need for powers, and nobody would’ve batted an eye. It was a pointless death to me.

@@ryanklip24 True! It was due to Jonathan's insistence though to Clark, because he wouldn't risk any chance of Clark being exposed. It's a character flaw at most, and a good one, not a flaw with the film itself.

BULLCRAP! If Clark just went in there, and picked his dad up and jogged him back to their spot, then NO ONE would question that. It is a dumb scene, period.

@@maxdrags3115 ...if all went perfectly. Jonathan just wasn't risking anything that could expose his son to the world. It's fine if you don't like this version, it's all taste but there's no need to try declare it invalid when you don't understand what's happening in it. All the best ✌

Agreed

Or Jor El chose to be the only one thats not a virgin

@@charlesgonzalez1406 Come on, how likely is it that they are as capable of reproducing as we are and everyone on Krypton stayed virgins for cultural reasons for thousands of years until Jor-El or Lara went "Let's take a walk on the wild side and try this thing our ancestors used to do. Oops, we're having a baby now."? It makes much more sense that they're engineered to be sterile or something but Jor-El worked around it. Maybe a Kryptonian couple having sex is just like a couple on Earth being into bondage or something. In which case the way Faora looked at Superman makes me think she's a "kinky" Kryptonian like his parents but she wouldn't tell Zod that.

@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps as likely as some alien with blue pijamas stopping crime daily

@@charlesgonzalez1406 This Superman in blue pyjamas is more the earthquakes, burning building, giant asteroid type.

@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps also Jor El very well could have done it specifically to have a kid instead of it being engineered for a specific purpose like Zod instead of it being by complete chance

My favorite in the DCEU

On one hand mf butchers Jon Kent’s character so i completely understand the hate On the other the music is fantastic tells a very good story of an inexperienced Superman who needs to find himself without the usual moral safety net of the would be saints jon and martha Also that “they will join you in the Sun” sequence is top tier

@@Henry-nk9wx Nah, Pa Kent is fantastic in this movie. He’s the grounded voice of reason Clark needed, not the 1930s caricature some viewers wanted.

@@GhoulishGwyn I really wouldn't call Pa Kent a caricature, he's always been a very normal and grounded character.

@@beyondtrash1627 exactly in the film he is very human compared to the paragon of moral fortitude Ubermensch chad he usually is, and is a lot more “I don’t know look after yourself, dont hurt people....” Because he’s completely out of his depth, like anyone would be

*Jor-El

I've always thought Jonathan's death was senseless and he was badly written, which impacted other parts of the movie.

@@banditoheat how do you think humans would react to this? They would probably be afraid and start panicking. He had to keep his powers and identity a secret because the world wasnt ready.

@@dragonballspaghetti154 You're absolutely right, letting his dad die is definitely the only sensible choice /s. Too bad he keeps jeopardizing his secret by saving complete strangers afterward leading to him being discovered.

I find it best described as the subtitle of the games done by WB Interactive and NetherRealm studios, GODS AMONG US

Well, that and he enjoys the CW shows more. I honestly think that people seem to think MCU is the only way to make a universe in. DC and Marvel will sadly always be compared.

DCEU is about Gods living among us & how they're different than us while MCU seem to humanize the characters to show how we're not so different after all. It's personal preference i guess. Also, DC animated shows we're closer to the later idea.

I wanted more Superman from Tom Welling, 10 seasons wasn't enough...

Great English

lose, not loose, but other than that, your English is great.

I don't think they have the time in their schedule but I think all of them have seen them besides maybe Eric and Aaron.

I mean they'll inevitably react to Godzilla vs Kong plus only Calvin hasn't seen Man of Steel so I think they would still watch it even if only one of them hadn't fully seen it before. Plus I think 2 or 3 of them haven't watched Skull Island

I just assumed they also had a certain level of red sun energy, otherwise all the questions are perfectly valid. why does his skin become weak just because he's having trouble breathing. One mention of radiation when talking about the atmospherics of the ship could have covered it i think. in the end it's just a way to depower superman for any amount of time, like every superman movie, how does he get weakened? lol
