    DC's stand in for 2013's Hero Film

    2013 continues the Hero Wars between movie studios.

    Iron man 3, Man of Steel and the Wolverine all give decent tellings (the last two being vast improvements on earlier ones), though it is really a war between Iron Man and Man of Steel.

    Iron Man 3, I admit, probably did better story wise, and sales wise, but for a debuting hero who did not have a perfect casted person like Downey to play him, Man of Steel does a good job.

    It sets foundations for a world where Superman and Batman can exist via cameos. It hints at Lex, fleshes out Superman and manages to have a modern feel with classic tastes.

    The consequences of the film will be felt in the sequel.

    And I loved General Stabler myself. I got a kick out of it at least

    All that remains to see is if Man of Steel 2, Batman vs Superman/ Superman vs Batman can keep the memento going. After all, even if this film could not get Iron Man's brilliance to start a universe, it is better than quite a few Marvel Cinematic movies...

      I've been a fan of Superman for as long as I can recall, having grown up watching the 90's Animated series, and the earlier films, and although Batman became my favourite superhero, Superman isn't far behind. The more recent Superman films have not been kind to the Man of Tomorrow, with Superman Returns, and Superman IV: The Quest For Peace being very poor, and Superman III also not being too great. This however is the perfect time to rectify that.PlotSPOILER FREEWhen Krypton starts to destroy i...

      Snyder delivers on his modern day take of the Man of Steel 0

      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 ...
