What do you expect him to say Mr Anon?

\”This is a fabulous script, except for that failed 3rd act, and by the way, please don\’t pay to go see my movie! Save your money and see something else instead!\”

How can this be the best script he\’s ever read when everyone is saying the script has some serious 3rd-act problems? That makes no sense.

Keep Nolan away from this!! Visually he\’s an amatuer next to Snyder.

I guess if you\’re coming off \’Immortals\’ then Superman might seem like one of the best scripts he\’s ever read.

How about aiming the criticism/cynism at all ready existing crap work & not something we all haven\’t seen yet.

\’Regardless, is Cavill ready for the impending publicity and attention he’s going to get by playing the most iconic super hero of all time?\’

Yeah, sure. Ask Brandon Routh. He\’s working at Starbucks.

Hey Michael who spammed us everywhere on this site about 15 times like a tantrum-throwing teenage girl to make sure she was heard: We never claimed to be Indie. We THE PLAYLIST, have a blog on IndieWIRE because it suits both of us, but we never ever claimed to be exclusively indie, not sure where you got that idea from unless you just arrived here for the first time and I assume that\’s gotta be it.

We like all kinds of movie, big, small, medium, black, white, orange, brown, etc.

@Brendan

Don\’t forget, The Dark Knight has some terrible cop dialogue as well. Nicky Katt, in his meager role, says every clichéd line in the book. \”That\’s not right!\” \”I didn\’t sign up for this!\” etc. The other cop dialogue doesn\’t fair much better. Someone even makes a \”have a nice fall\” groaner. It\’s really bad.

Was Goyer also responsible for the eye-rolling, completely unnecessary shtick in Batman Begins? Anyone remember \”Nice ride\” and \”I gotta get me one of those\”? Not that Nolan\’s films couldn\’t benefit from comic relief, but Goyer has a tin ear for humor.

I believed this statement. Goyer writes kick ass scripts. They are great reads. Maybe they usually have some third act problems but overall his scripts are entertaining reads. Blade, Blade 2, Batman Begins… He writes very visually.

I\’m also going to have to read the transcript, because wtf?

\”It teaches you how to negotiate and win the negotiation. It teaches you how to notice the lie in your head\”

??? Oookay Henry. I hope he is not getting some sort of granola poisoning.

I want to see the screaming headline:

Henry Cavill Calls \’Man of Steel\’ Script \”Pure Crap\”
[sublead]
But says \”This Is My Best Chance To Lead A Tentpole And Break Out Of The C-list\”

And who could blame him? lol
