Myself, personally believe Man of Steel will be at least a good film, if not great, but as being shown right now on RT and Metacritics, the public opinion is not on my side. Yes, it's a little early to call anything, but I've studied the way ratings change on RT. The rating Man of Steel has now, will more than likely stay within this area or will go down. It's rare for a film's rating to go up, unless all the haters dropped by first. My point is, the film is more than likely not going to be critically acclaimed, and will more likely be critically panned, or just be a mediocre film to the public.
Now, as I notice and expected, a lot of "What did you expect from a Snyder film" comments have been brought up on this site, and many others. What happened to this being a "Nolan film"? Wait, so your telling me there is no way it's a Nolan film if it turns out bad, but you were willing to give him every bit of credit for the film, when the trailers fooled you into thinking the film would be critically acclaimed? I've actually had people tell me, on the Nokia trailer for this film, that "Nolan was just being humble when he gave Snyder credit for the film" and that "Nolan created all the story; no way Goyer could handle it." Well, where are you guys now? Somewhere blaming Snyder for the terrible reviews the film is getting? Yeah, more than likely.
To be honest, Snyder should be the main blame, because this is a Snyder film. The thing is, Snyder should have been getting the praise when people where giving it to Nolan as well. Nolan still deserve some blame himself though. He did pitch the film to WB, and he did co-write the film(Goyer was the main writer though). So The Prestige is no longer Nolan's worst reviewed directed/produced film, Man of Steel is, and yes it does count, even with his little involvement.
Again, I believe I will like or love Man of Steel as a film, so do not take this article the wrong way; I just needed to express my anger towards the hypocrisy of the Nolanites. Also, yes this can be seen from other hardcore fanboys other than Nolanites, the Nolanites are just a prime example.
