"Sony Hack": Sony Chairman on Zack Snyder's Man of Steel: "It Was REALLY BAD"

Don't think Webb's Amazing Spider-Man is any good? Sony thinks Snyder's Man of Steel from rival studio Warner Bros is not that good either.

Zack Snyder's Man of Steel isn't exactly regarded as one of the best superhero movies by many - dividing fans including many critics alike (averaging just 55% on all major aggregator sites), but it's intriguing to hear what opposing studios have to say about their rival's other superhero movie.

More leaked emails uncovered exchanges between Sony's Head Chairman herself, Amy Pascal, and numerous other top Sony Executives regarding Snyder's last Superman movie with Pascal herself quoting: "This Superman movie is Really Bad."

Sony Senior Vice President, Rachel O'Connor, did add some praise to Zack Snyder's photography of Superman by turning the movie into an "Evocative marketing campaign", but follows up by criticizing his movie for being "Humorless, long, and jumbled."

The criticism continues calling the final scene as being "Ridiculous - more people were killed by the collateral damage caused by Superman than he saved." Although this also happens to be the same issues echoed by most audiences about that particular scene.

Doesn't sound like Sony may be looking into Zack Snyder for their upcoming films anytime soon unless it involves an evocative marketing campaign.

Man of Steel was really good. I liked it and it definitely brought a much needed boost to WB and their DC movies. Cavill was great in the role and I am looking forward to BvS.

MOS was considered one of the Worst films of 2013 by Forbes.

Can't blame Sony for that.

And Zack Snyder's next film happens to be:

"Batman vs Superman Epic 5 Second Battle"

Like TASM2 was any better. It was like Spider-man 3, but worse.

As a DC fan it was bad, because it wasn't the Boy Scout version of Superman that I like. That being said it is a different portrayal of the Superman mythology and I am hopping in the future when Batman joins the universe, Superman will finally be that version of Superman. Plus even though it wasn't the greatest it still was better then The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Plus Spider-Man 3 was better then The Amazing Spider-man 3 and if that wasn't the greatest, it tells you how bad the new Spider-Man films are.

I didn't really care for TASM2, but it was way more entertaining to me than man of steel. I agree with what the Sony guy said.

They can't let this thing die, can they?

Oh and this is from the company and people who allowed TASM 2 to be made and possibly that Aunt May movie.

if it wasnt for all the action the movie would have been a nightmare... the only reason its better than TASM2 is because we have had more spiderman and man of steel was a fresher experience.

so sony isnt wrong. jsut too bad they didnt see the same in spiderman 2
