Still not too crazy about Zack Snyder’s “Man Of Steel.” Part of it has to do with my preference for Marvel heroes, though that does not mean that I want DC characters not to do well. Besides, if they have enough success, maybe they’ll get around to making a feature or two about characters I really care about, like ‘The Question.’ What I am not jazzed about is how ‘MoS’ seems to be working on the ‘everything and the kitchen sink’ approach to filmmaking. Space battles? We got those. Epic destruction of major buildings? We got that too. Monomaniacal villain? Yep. Impossibly noble good guy? Got that in spades.
It’s almost as if DC/Warner Bros. took everything that went right with their other big superhero film (“Green Lantern”) and combined it with the moody and anti-superheroic approach of Christopher Nolan’s three Batfilms.
