Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

americanu-32447 I really think the score of this movie is undeserving. It's a good movie with strong and pretty straightforward symbolism, that i guess is hard for the layman to access. The fight scenes we're kinda hit and miss on the one hand spectacular on the other kind of ridiculous. Like i said worth watching once or thrice to fully get the symbolism

Paradoxo Sarantatessera I'll give it a 3 for the stunning visuals and the final scene that I liked a lot, but that's pretty much what was good about the movie.I will not waste time describing how the whole story has little to do with Greek mythology, as plenty other reviews have done that already.Instead I'll focus on the fact that you watch this movie expecting some popular characters (or gods) to appear on screen. And you know pretty much how these characters were and what they did. Uh oh! For example bring to mind Thor. You at least imagine a norse looking warrior, quite mascular wielding a hammer. And you expect the Thor you'll watch will be more or less like that. You certainly don't imagine him like a hobbit with hairy feet throwing shurikens at his foes, right?Come to this movie, and see the Greek gods unlike anything you could ever imagine. Zeus, the father of all gods. Typically an older looking god, depicted with his nice full white beard, master of lightnings. Not at all. He is a slender very well shaved blondie, with a shiny golden armor that looks like he borrowed it from some elf like Celeborn or Elrond in Tolkien's LoTR.And how does he do his battles? Swinging his fire chain/whip. (Ghost Rider?)Athena? Her aspis (shield) and her owl were her symbols. Pretty much like Thor's hammer. Nope, she's ninjaing her way through enemies with her two ...sickles.Oh and the Titans are not of titanic proportions (giants) at all. If you remember the goblins from LoTR...well, that.All this has nothing to do with the actors who are doing all they can, but with whoever decided to create mythology from mythology.The quotes are unmemorable and rather used a lot in many movies.To conclude, I found the movie very unimmersive and untrue to the theme it advertises. Please Hollywood, I can understand changing stories a bit, but completely ruining characters is a bit too much.

Andy Van Scoyoc Really, just honestly not my thing.Not sure what I was expecting,but I wasn't let down, or pleasantly surprised, either one.Being a Greek Mythology aficionado, I was hoping for more from this movie and just didn't get it.The only redeeming quality of this movie, for me, was the over-the-top, carnage.That made it worth agonizing through, but that's about all.If you don't mind a slow pace, mediocre (at best) acting and you're not expecting a lot, you might enjoy it.

nlmike For a movie with this budget i was sorely disappointed, even with my mind switched off.The acting of the main characters was decent, which for John Hurt means he is just talking like usual. And as always it is a pleasure to hear him.First the good stuff, The action is nice and hard, 300 like. and the bad king is properly brutal.That part was enjoyable.Now for the bad part, Rubber armors that flop around (talk about an immersion breaker), a bunny helmet, punk helmets, ridiculous story, bad speeches, cliché one liners...I am sorry to have to say that for a movie in 2011 it is shameful..Don't waste time on this and watch our hero shine in man of steel.
