Is it worth the extra money for IMAX 3D?

I am likely to be going to see it. I figure some of the poor rating is preconceived notions of what Superman should be. These are people that are completely sold on the Comics and Donner versions of movies. I am up for a bit of a more human twist on the story. Like Gavin nivaG, I can make up my own mind.

I will be seeing it on a standard sized, 2D screen. It wasn't filmed in IMAX or 3D, so all of that is purely upscaling and post-conversion. It isn't worth the extra money for that.

Saw it yesterday in IMAX. Ignore all reviews. If you are watching it (and you should), watch it in IMAX 3D!

That's how I usually look at these ratings, Al Steffen but Iron Man 3 and Star Trek Into Darkness both had fairly good ratings on RT. I was just wondering if it was at least that good.

Did you like those movies Jason ON? If not, then you need to start reading reviews in reverse.

They weren't bad, but I didn't think they were as great as the reviews would have led me to believe.

If anything, I watched the 3D version and would probably have it enjoyed the 2D more. Superman flying? 3D goodness. Superman fight scenes? Hot mess of too much going on. And the negative reviews (I assume) are based squarely on the fact that the movie is so darn serious. It's Superman! Big Blue Boy Scout. Crack a joke and a smile!

My wife and I thought it was great. We don't understand all the harsh reviews. Yes it was a little more dark than the previous Superman films, or maybe just more emotionally charged. I mean my wife outright cried, and I even gotten a tear or two. There was funny snippets as well. I mean this is an action hero movie so the main goal of action is well captured. So please people  don't go by what these nay sayers who are writing bad reviews are saying. Give your self the chance to form your own opinion I don't think you will me disappointed. Oh yeah, it is definitely not your normal, routine superman story!.

The reviews are very misleading. Most fans loved it. My wife and I loved it. We watched it 3d but we found it didn't add enough to change the movie experience.

It was great. Go see it for sure. I would say it should be a 75% on my own RT rating scale, with Iron Man 3 being a 60%'er and Star Trek Into Darkness being a 85% in my book...  RT gave "Drive" a 98% or something  that movie was the worst movie ever made. So ignore RT reviews.

I'm not a big comic book movie fan, nor have I ever really been a big Superman fan, so I was a tiny bit skeptical going to see it with my husband, the huge nerd. We both loved it! I think a lot of the bad reviews, as others have said, are due to the seriousness. In my opinion, that's part of what made it so good, though. As for 3D or not, my eyes don't work right for 3D, so we didn't bother. It didn't look like it was made for 3D, though, so I doubt it's much better.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
