The Comic Vine 2013 Movie Awards WINNERS

@youknowwhattodo: So your seriously saying that MOS only won awards because fanboys voted? That seems ignorant considering the majority of the public who watched MOS enjoyed it. I've talked to a few people who are not even superman fans and have said that MOS is easily the best film of 2013 and that it deserves more credit. There is a ocean of difference between someone who thinks a films deserves more credit and a fanboy. It's just that simple.

should've known I still Star Trek Into Darkness was the best of 2k13 it's way better than MOS sorry

Star Trek won nothing?! :(

At least MoS sweeped a lot of the polls. :D

Yay Man of Steel!

I like the way how things turned out to be.

Exactly. We aren't debating who should have won best director, we were moaning about best script. Although Jackson has a good claim on that category too.

Well that's great and all but nobody said Jackson wins the category, we said The Hobbit wins it.

ITS RIGGED!!!!!

MOS WAS SUPPOSED TO WIN ALL CATEGORIES!!!!

I CALL FOR A RECOUNT THAT REMOVES ALL LOKI FANGIRLS!

@jonny_anonymous: Yes it is, Peter Jackson is not the man who wrote the Hobbit, he never met the man who did, all Jackson did was lift everything from the book and put it on screen and then pad it with a bunch of action scenes we didnt want or need.

no that's not we said at all

So by your idea everyone should be able to be a professor by publishing an actual professors work.

He's not! Tolkien wrote it, Peter Jackson directed the movies. Regardless of who wrote it, its 20x better written than MoS. I enjoyed Mos, I own it on bluray, but I have no problems with saying the script should never have won best script.

Do people ever not complain about other's opinions?

@jonny_anonymous: You are.

Nobody said he did

@g_leno: @jonny_anonymous: Which awards Peter Jackson a fat prize of nothing, because he didn't write it.

THIS. I don't mind it winning best movie and I voted MOS for best action scene but it definitely shouldn't be winning best script.

from the nominee-list of sripts we got in the poll..yes,it was the best...

Copy/paste of a childerens book that has a better script than almost any movie last year, let alone MoS. William Shakespeare has been dead for centuries and films of his plays are usually Oscar noms.

copy/paste of a childrens book with a better script than MoS

Means it's a copy/paste job of a childrens book.

I feel just the same way, as though films lost there sense of "magic" recently. Maybe I'm expecting too much into things or just watch too many of them that it doesn't surprise me as much.

I don't agree with any on the list except Best Supporting Characters. Hobbit should have won most of the awards and Smaug was the best villain, Loki wasn't even a villain.

Where is that Man of Steel picture from for best script. I love the pulp aspect of it!

I'm surprised Zack won best director though. Peter Jackson was my favored.

While I really enjoyed Man of Steel I don't think it deserves to win Best Script (and by extension Best Movie). The script was just a complete and total mess. Poor pacing, poor structure, just completely amateurish on Goyer's part (Then again that is how I find most of his work). All his characters do is speak at each other, never to each other. They give big monologues but there are never real exchanges between them. People don't speak in speeches. It just created a huge disconnect for a lot of viewers.

He tried to copy his success of Batman Begins but it doesn't work with this movie. Put them side by side and they have almost the same progression. One of the biggest issues here is the flashbacks. Just like in Batman Begins he tries to use flashbacks to flesh out Clark as a character but here they are just hollow. They are poorly placed and don't have anywhere near as good as a mechanism to call to a flashback like Begins did, and they only ended up hurting the pacing and flow of the movie.

While I think that Guillermo Del Toro or Peter Jackson deserved to win for Best Director I can't deny that Snyder did a great job with the poor script he had.

I think that if any of the Man of Steel fights should have won for best fight, it's the Smallville fight. While I don't mind the destruction I think that Zod vs Superman was too grandiose and destructive for its own good. There was more depth to the Smallville fight the Zod v. Superman fight was just them throwing and hitting each other through things. The choreography and execution of the Smallville fight was simply better.

I agree with this fully. Smallville fight was a better fight in terms of action and intensity IMO.

These aren't really "awards." The term award may be used, but it's only opinions of folks that took a poll on this site. Nothing to get worked up about. But how can you say "They cannot objectively think MOS had the best script, supporting characters or director." Who are you to decide what constitutes "objective thinking" on someone else's behalf?

It's really weird that people can't accept that MOS is a good movie. This is the same site that bashed the movie and was screaming how terrible the movie was. But now it's a "dc bias" site?? Gman himself didn't even like the movie. I just don't get why people can't accept other peoples opinions and results. At the end of the day, the majority believes that MOS was the best superhero movie to come out this year. Like it or not. It's sad that people can't accept that and stick to calling people fanboys. Get over it already.

Doesn't mean a thing

And yet that book's writer has been dead for atleast 50 years.

and yet that book is better written than MoS

I just don't agree that Flashpoint one over other better animated hero movies. Aside from the Flash and Batman character personalities everything else was too different from the story arc to even like it.

Best Director and Script, SERIOUSLY? Have some standards people!

Well, based on plenty of other personal experiences there might not be any bias at all, and every single one of those experiences is just as valid as yours. If someone who isn't staff or a moderator or who otherwise has no substantial investment of time and interest in ComicVine says they don't think the community and staff are biased, what categories do they fall into, according to you? Are they DC fanboys or have they clearly just not seen all the things you've seen? No matter how long they've been here?

You don't need to appease me; let's just not pretend the fantasies in our heads are indisputable fact to the point where anything to the contrary is clearly obviously blatantly silly.

Man of Steel was alright, but should not get best script award.

First of all..nice to be in a civilized disagreement. But I do disagree. You say the ONLY purpose of the flashbacks was to flesh out Clark's character. IMO, that's really all they were meant to do. At the least, that was their primary function.They made a decision way back, that they wanted to dip into Clark's past to partly explain why he is as he is now. They had 2 choices, do the film chronologically, or use flashbacks. The former approach was taken in the Donner films, so I think they chose the latter to avoid the film being a remake. As for whether they failed or succeeded to inspire, that's a matter of opinion. I thought the scene in the classroom where young Clark's powers are going off like crazy (especially the x-ray vision, and the hearing.) was very inspiring and emotional. "The world's too big mom" "Then make it smaller." I thought that brief exchange said a LOT. Again, I disagree about the character not being explored or defined. I think he was both. And the flashbacks did both successfully. I have to ask, how do you perceive that he wasn't defined or explored? What did you not know about Clark/Kal that you think you should have known? This is why I say the complaints are cliches. Don't just tell me the character "wasn't defined"..that's a cliche. Tell me WHY he wasn't defined. Tell me WHY you feel he was unexplored. And yes, when i read criticisms of the MOS, that is how most of the complaints are worded.

Man of Steel cleaned up. Good stuff.

This is the only site where Man of Steel would win anything, other then "most disappointing."

@alkusanagi: Agreed! MOS was horrible!

Knew Man of Steel was gonna take a bunch of awards, and how can't it? It really is that good, people are just too negative. It may not have been my favorite movie of the year (that honor goes to The Desolation of Smaug), but it's of course the runner up. Welcome back, Supes.

Also, it pleases me to see IM3 didn't win anything or even get any runner-ups.

@cheesesticks: MetH could not Have said any better. As always DC fanboys run tHe Vine.

-ABstract4$$#073-

no mudslinging? like saying this is pathetically typical

I actually liked Pacific Rim slightly more than Man of Steel, Hobbit, and Thor (all of which I really enjoyed). I do think Henry Cavill as Superman was the best acted though. And Peter Jackson was better than Snyder, but these are all just my opinions. Apparently I am in a minority haha.

I don't know how Flashpoint Paradox was voted better than The Dark Knight Returns Part 2. The former was enjoyable, but the latter was incredible!

Except it is a legitimate complaint and not a cliche.The flashbacks seriously hurt the pacing of the movie. While they do flesh out Clark more the transitions to them are jarring. Their placement doesn't feel natural because the connections between the scenes and the flashbacks were often tenuous at best. It was jarring and really took me out of the scene. The content of them really wasn't that bad (Possibly Goyer's best writing of the film) but they just felt so out of place that it failed to either inspire any real emotion or feelings for them. There really wasn't a good reason to flashback most of the time and the ONLY purpose they served was to flesh out Clark as a character and it was obvious.

Also did you ever think that the reason the complaints are generic are simply because Goyer's writing was generic? He failed to actually explore the character or even clearly define him. He was stuck between recreating his success with Batman and making a Superman movie, and never really quite achieved either. I enjoyed the movie but it was in spite of Goyer's script, not because of it.

I'm glad Man of Steel won a lot of awards. It deserved them, especially best fight scene. Did any other CBM film even come close in that regard?

Poor haters. Hee! Hee ha! HEHEHEHEHHHAHAHAH!

Sorry, I had to get that out. People were just mad that Man of Steel's fight scenes were "too epic".

Then you must hate yourself.

Yes! I also thought Kick Ass 2 was the best comic book movie of the year. Sadly, I doubt we'll ever see a Kick Ass 3.

@jasoninthewoods: that made me laugh.

How are people complaining about Man of Steel not getting best villain. I mean it got everything else undeservedly.

Most of the results I don't care about, but MOS winning best Director and Script is just flat out wrong. And Superman as best hero is VERY debatable, he caused more damage than any other character in this film combined AND avengers, there's a difference between being unable to prevent collateral damage and actually causing it from pure recklessness. I don't know or care who should have won that spot, but Superman sure as hell didn't deserve it.
