Jbang Reviews presents "Man of Steel." Today, I
went to the neighboring theater of Rave Motion Pictures to see "Man of
Steel." I don't usually watch movies based off DC Comics, since I am a
dedicated Marvel fan but I decided to at least give this movie a chance since I
did indeed enjoy the movie "Dark Knight Rises" which was directed by
the producer of this movie, Christopher Nolan. First thing I have to say is
that this movie is SOOO LOOONG. It starts off with an emotional scene filled
with sacrifices but after that, the movie was slow in capturing my interest. I
mean it takes an hour or so filled with flashbacks and discoveries before it
gets to the first fight scene where the special effects truly live up to their
full potential. But when I finally got to the end, I looked back through the
film's moments to realize this movie isn't about fight scenes and OMG moments,
it's more about heroic actions and how they define the characters perpetrating
them and how they are viewed by society and later determined whether they were
good or bad decisions. In my opinion, this was not the best Superman movie.
Perhaps the best Superman movie has yet to made and maybe there is a chance
that the sequels or the remakes will be better but until that happens,
"Dark Knight Rises" continues to be my favorite movie out of the DC
Comics Universe and I will continuing watching and enjoying the action packed
and comic relief stylings from the Marvel Cinema Universe. It was hard to grade
this movie how many other people may have loved it because they like emotional
storylines where the main characters struggle with the morals they are raised
with in an entertaining out of this world way, but I’m not everyone else
(sorry) and to me, this sucked. It doesn’t suck as bad as “Green Lantern” but
it does suck. I give it a 2 out of 5.
