My god. Been a SW for 30yrs, movies, books, everything. This is a travesty. Disney took a major dump on the series. It's so bad. These people never saw any of the awesome lightsaber battles from the previous movies or any of the video games. Don't waste your time. I've seen fan films better than this. An absolute stinker!!! Please bring Lucas back. It's hard to believe that this film came from the same studio that made The Mandalorian.

Man Of Steel makes Superman more grounded. We all think it would be cool and fun to be Superman and have the powers without thinking about the consequences. Zack Snyder brings Superman to the 21st century and tells us a story about super powered alien who decided to be human and finding his place. It's a deep and inspiring story ; not to mention it's the most powerful Superman ever depicted on film. And that score... Though heavy on special effects this movie is about choosing to let things go to hell or to take action despite personal cost. Christopher Reeves would be proud. People will complain about the destruction and massive collateral damage but need to realize this is a movie about Clark *becoming* Superman. The stakes were high and he is fighting multiple enemies as strong as he and utterly unconcerned about the death and destruction they cause. In other words this is not yot Dad's Superman where he can go all out in a city without breaking things.

I was expecting a little more depth to the characters but then again this is a movie from a video game so i can't really fault them. On the other hand it's all a fan can hope for : brutal fights, gore, and FATALITIES! And of course Sub-Zero and Scorpion steal the show! OUTSTANDING! (Shao Khan voice)

I have to admit that I was concerned going into RoP as a Tolkien fan. But I was wrong, I do have some gripes and misgivings but they are minor considering the caliber of the delivery. The production quality is top tier, the costumes, cinematography, setting; they have a Tolkienesk feel and quality. Though I have my issues with short-haired elves (WTH) . The show runners went deep, I mean deep into the lore. The appendices of LOTR were bullet points and the writers managed to flesh out a compelling story from them. The dialogue is a bit hit or miss and not as good as LOTR trilogy but we can look past it. I was a bit taken aback with some of the casting choices (ahen diversity ) but that doesn't hurt the story or world building. Besides Tolkien did create a world with many people and cultures so no reason to call sacrilege . Overall it's a good show, the pacing could be better and the "creative" choices and liberties that the writers have taken are one of the reasons I've taken a star away from them. If you are a Tolkien fan and want to see how the second age was. This the show for you but don't take my word for it. Give it try!
