Dropped from a 72% to a 70% On RT, and from a 6.3 to a 6.0 on Metacritic.
70% RT (54% for top critics), and 6.0 on metacritic.
WOW. Speechless right now.
Dude, most of the negative reviews are because they expected to see Christopher Reeve's Superman. That's not going to happen. I suggest you wait until you see it to jump to conclusions.
One thing: Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic aren't believable sources of opinion either.
@novi_homines: It has 65% on RT and the movie made over a billion dollars and a lot of people love it.
i'm sure it did. I love Thor, and it was average review wise. Everyone has opinions. And then again, they also get films right in the cases of TDK (94%), and Iron Man (93%). I actually think the system works more often than not, but MOS could fall under this "not" category.
This isn't what has me worried. Its a combination of this Rotten Tomatoes 69% (dropped again), with a average review score of 58 on metacritic, as well as my favorite youtube reviewer jeremyjahns, who almost always seems to give "Awesometaculars" to every film he reviews, but instead, gave this a "blu ray purchase". Its a combination of all of these things that has me worried some. But again, i'll wait until thursday when I see it at midnight, before I make my final decision on the film.

They aren't simply "sources of opinions". They both encompass hundreds of review outlets. From the new york post, to the chicago sun times. These aren't some randoms making reviews for the first time.

And despite all that, they manage to be hilariously inept, poorly-informed, nitpicky, pretentious upper class twits that think they could do a better job than 95% of Hollywood. I laugh even harder at their reviews since they are supposed to be serious.
To say that you think the movie will suck because of critics reviews is stupid.
To say that critics are stupid before you get the chance to see that movie is even more stupid.
Everyone get a grip and stop comparing different scores that critic websites have to movies you think suck, just to make yourself feel better about MOS not sucking.
I don't care about reviews, it's something to be seen for yourself :)
Exactly! The same reception was given to The Amazing Spider-Man and yet, I considered it to be my favourite film of last year. Reviews are subjective opinions, not facts folks :)
Lol this guy at Time Out New York, acted like it was trying to be exactly like the Reeve movie. These critics need to stop nit picking and living in the past and just enjoy the movie.

@novi_homines: A lot of people are asking why didn't Jeremy labeled it as awesometacular.
Why still haven't see all the reviews. And most of the critics is because it has to much action( f*cking seriously?) and that it ain't a Donner movie.
Well, Buy it on Blu Ray is his second highest score right? It's like a 4/5
I believe so. The only thing that kept it from being awesometacular seem to be the excess of action. I don't know why though. He pretty much praised everything else.
All the bad reviews I've seen all seem to be focused on the Lois/Clark relationship, like they're mad it wasn't a romance movie. Look folks the relationship has been explored and reexplored a billion times, it doesn't need to be brought up again. Let the Superman origin movie be about Superman, they can deal with Lois in the sequel.

I honestly can't see how it has more action scenes than Avengers >_>

I was hoping they wouldn't focus on romance too much, my biggest gripe about Thor for instance, was that the romance between him and Jane Foster felt forced and dragged the film down.
@the_stegman: The main complaint I've always heard from people from the old Superman movies has always been the lack of action which is why these "Too much action" complaints baffle me.
2. It can't be that bad considering DC just announced signing Snyder on to a 3 film deal (MoS, MoS2 and JLA) and fast tracked the production of MoS 2
#2 isn't something to hang a hat on, how many times has a movie been slated for sequels before a release and then the movie bombs. John Carter is the most recent victim I can think of for this. They expect to make it into a trilogy.
I think MoS isn't going to do that great on the opening weekend. I think a lot of people still have the taste of Superman Returns in their mouths, not to mention its going to be competing with World War Z and Monsters University. WB/DC should have either pushed the release up or pushed it back one week so they wouldn't be up against those movies.
@nova_prime_: Actually it has already made most of its budget back in just ticket presales not to mention the little over 100 million its made on product tie ins so it won't actually have to work very hard to break even on opening night since its well over half way there already.
I just got back from an early screening of Man of Steel. Go see it, just go see it. If you have an inkling that you'll like it, you'll totally dig it. It's kinda dark & surprisingly dour but I say it's a hell of a film. Think the criticism all has merit but I don't think too many of you people on this forum will be disappointed with the final product.
Reviews are non canon the only thing that counts is how you feel about it. Everyone has a beloved film thats been lambasted by critics. Not everyone likes the same stuff, and more often than not oro critics take movies too seriously for my liking. Only thing im worried about is them making an awesome film or set of films but screwing the storylines so hard that a total reboot is needed ( im looking at you dkr) but im sure atleast visually its gonna be amazing.
I guarantee that if MOS had high scores on RT and Metacritic, some of you guys wouldn't be talking trash about either site. Sure, neither site are infallible, but it seems many people who don't get their reviews on either site have been underwhelmed with the movie. They said that the movie is good, but not great.
