Opening night for sure.

[St1ck]

Now I know when Cory will be out of his place, so I can rob it. 

[VariousCrap]

Theaters for sure.  It looks great.

[Sam Sanchez]

I'll likely go this Saturday. So theaters for me.

[gotbeer]

Have tickets for Saturday.  Although it does look like there are a lot of goods seats still available.  Which wasn't the case for Iron Man or Star Trek a week out.  

[gotbeer]

Another cause for concern.  No reviews on this film on Rotten Tomatoes, with 4 days till release.

Pick me up at the usual time and place?

They are just starting to come out.  9 reviews came out on RottenTomatoes.com today, 8 of those reviews are positive.

The press showing was last week but they aren't allowed to talk about the movie until after the premiere tonight.  Should start seeing reviews coming out soon.

Ah ok.  That makes more sense then.  Just usually seems to be the kiss of death if studios don't put out screenings for reviewers to see.

Definitely Friday.

First real negative "review" I've read, though I'm sure there's plenty more considering it only has a 73% on Rotten Tomatoes:

 

you will believe a man can sigh. hopelessly torn between regurgitating a myth & telling a story. inert, dull & terribly timid. the genome of a Nolan film & none of the grace. flashback structure fatally enervates the narrative. hardly any actual *scenes,* even fewer actual characters.

 

Cavill is great / wasted. Adams is given a petulant and banal Lois Lane. Shannon acquits himself, and yet enjoys not a single memorable moment (his henchwoman steals the show with her Metal Gear moves).

 

neat design elements, i'll give it that. the thought of a sequel has me locked in the fetal position. no more, zack snyder. no more zack snyder.

 

 

 

It's not really a "review" but it's comments posted by David Ehrlich from film.com in quick summary of his thoughts about it on Letterboxd accompanied by a 1 1/2 star rating. 

 

 

This doesn't sway me at all in either direction, but Zack Snyder is definitely my only thing I was iffy about going into this movie. That said, hopes are high regardless and I'm in a Superman mood after watching them all over the last week.

His mom will still be there though

His mom will still be there though

 

 

 

Well someone has to babysit his girlfriend. 

[Sam Sanchez]

I'm actually pretty surprised to be seeing tons of negative reviews popping up now. Down to a 69% on Rotten Tomatoes, which granted doesn't mean much, but even recent blockbusters like Star Trek and Iron Man, (even Fast Six), have better ratings on RT.

[VariousCrap]

The negative reviews seem to have nothing more than trivial complaints.

Are the complaints about Superman being a boring character? 

[Chimi]

The complaints with it is the story is all over the place and apparently doesn't flow well.  And too much action which is surprising seeing how the main complaint about Superman Returns was too little action.  They probably didn't need to do another origin story of Superman.  I think at this point everyone knows Superman is an alien sent to Earth, blah blah blah.

[HaloCory22]

Down to a 65% on Rotten Tomatoes. Superman Returns (2006) got a 76%. I refuse to believe this movie is worse than that pos.

[Socaliente]

Never, superman is the most 1 dimensional super hero ever created.

WHAT?!? An alien?!? SPOILERS, you moron, SPOILERS!!!!!

Here is a pretty good article that talks about the negative reviews the movie is getting.

[CaliAngel]

Seeing this tonight at 12, its gonna be siiiick. 

 

I don't read reviews before I go to a movie. 

 

I'll decide on my own thank you.

I do agree that Superman is a difficult character to make interesting.
