    Superman going in the right direction.

    Let me start by saying my personal opinion of Superman can be summed up with the word boring. So a 4/5 star from me is actually an amazing credit to the movie. However that could either mean if your a Superman nut you will LOVE it! Or if your a Superman nut you may be able to pick it apart better than I am able to. The only thing that kept me from giving a 5 star rating is I felt the plot was rushed. Even though I do think this is a better movie than the first GI JOE movie I find comparison in that both movies have tons of action that is fun to look at. Both movies however fail to serve up a good plate of meat and potatoes. I wish I could explain myself further, I simply cannot without making this review a spoiler. The movie was definitely worth the price of admission, just not quite worth the cost of the popcorn and soda. It was fun though.

This however is the perfect time to rectify that.PlotSPOILER FREEWhen Krypton starts to destroy i...

      Man of Steel by target_x on June 14, 2013

      Man of Steel ReviewSnyder delivers on his modern day take of the Man of Steel in a large way. For years fans of Superman have been pining for a chance to see The Last Son of Krypton be pitted against a villain that didn’t require trickery; someone who could go toe-to-toe with a man who is a god, for all intents and purposes, and give as good as they got without the gimmick of a certain rare and precious element showing up magically by the truckload. You can rest assured that this is the case in ...
