My Take on ‘Man of Steel’

After watching the movie I took to Twitter and announced “Really don’t know how to feel about @ManofSteelMovie. I will have to think on this.” I spent the evening thinking about the movie and I have come to this conclusion: I still don’t know what to think. So I am just going to start writing about ‘Man of Steel’ and see if I can figure out how I feel about it.

BTW…. There will be spoilers… You have been warned… (more…)

Big budget plus big talent plus anticipation doesn’t always equal hit. In fact, more times than not it is the opposite. Thus the reason I am guarding my expectations on the latest reboot of the venerable comic book franchise. The parts are there for a ‘Dark Knightian’ success. But let’s not go there just yet. (Inside I have serious nerdgasms every time I see the different trailers for this movie)

Let’s hope Chris Nolan and Zach Snyder have captured lightning in a bottle because I really want to see a Nolan/Snyder ‘Justice League’ movie with Christian Bale playing an older, broken Bruce Wayne as mentor to Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Nightwing and all the others in the Halls of Justice. I really feel the success of this film will determine the future of the Justice League.

 

 

 

The Cold Light Of Day

 

 

Bruce is a bad ass… Sigourney is a bad ass… Do you need to know more? Oh… Alright. A nice, normal looking family is on vacation together for the first time in years. The eldest, played by Henry Cavill, leaves them for a bit while he goes to town. When he gets back they are all gone. He goes to the policia for help just to find out they are in on the abduction. In comes dear old Dad (Bruce Willis) to save his son and let him in on the secret… yep he’s a spy. Explosions, shoot outs, stand offs and a leap from a building follow of course. It does look pretty good.
