Anticipation has long been one of my many great follies. As a new movie or game or comic etc. is announced that can even slightly peak my interest, I start getting excited for it. As the months go on towards the release, more and more info on the film will be put out by the media to build hype for it and I eat it up with a spoon.
One of my most anticipated movies for about the last 2 years has been the new reboot of the Superman movies. Not only was it a brand new movie starting one of my favorite superheroes but it was being worked on by Zack Snyder, a man that I have usually thought could really bring Superman's superpowers to life very well. However I did grow a little perplexed at the idea of Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer being involved in the project. Nolan has said before that he didn't really care for the more unrealistic and fantastical elements of superheroes and comic books which made the choice to make him producer and writer all the more perplexing.
I did however understand the choice of Goyer to write it, as his film "Blade" kicked off the superhero movie craze and "The Dark Knight" is one of the highest rated superhero films to date, but his other films (including the last Batman movie) have been extremely mixed.
Well we are finally here, The new Superman movie entitled "Man of Steel" has been released. Did this all star trio manage to finally create a successful Superman movie that will finally give DC comics a chance to build their own superhero movie universe? Did it successfully bring Superman back to the big screen? And most importantly, Was the movie any good? All of these questions can be answered with one word, kinda.
