Man Of Steel - Another Movie Review
1 hour ago | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Tyrants!
I’ll admit. A year ago when the first trailer for Man of Steel came out, I was doubtful. Warner Bros. seemed to have no idea how to adapt any of their DC Comic universe outside of Batman (which was thanks to Chris Nolan), and director Zack Snyder was a known abuser of slo-mo that had just come off the craptastic bomb Sucker Punch. On top of that, the less that is said about their Green Lantern attempt, the better.
Then, as more trailers came out and plot details were revealed, I became more and more optimistic. After the three minute trailer that came out around April, I noticed general anticipation had shifted dramatically in the right direction and continued to build to a crescendo ever since. I got a chance to watch Man of Steel on Friday. Did it soar…or suck? Minor spoilers ahead.

Movie Review - Man of Steel (2013)
2 hours ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Man of Steel, 2013.
Directed by Zack Snyder.
Starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Antje Traue, Christopher Meloni, Harry Lennix, Richard Schiff and Ayelet Zurer.
Synopsis:
A young boy learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not of this Earth. As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do. But the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind.
I distinctly remember leaving the cinema after Superman Returns in 2006 with a sense of disappointment. It not only made Superman rather creepy, but it was terribly dull. With a plodding story and a slavish link to the Christopher Reeve films of the 70s and 80s, it left many questioning if Superman had a place in modern cinematic times. »

This Supposed 'Man of Steel' Controversy is Ridiculous
3 hours ago | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
If there's one thing defenders of all superhero movies will tell you it's that they don't live up under scrutiny. Yes, even your precious The Dark Knight has some major issues, which is when someone will stand up and say, "It's just a movie!" Touche. However, a loud group on the Internet has grown upset over the climactic finale in Man of Steel over a moment where Superman (Henry Cavill) decides the only way he can prevent Zod (Michael Shannon) from killing a family of Metropolis citizens with his heat vision (first world problems, amirite!) is by snapping his neck. Therein lies the horror and, yes, we'll get to the question of why four people matter more than an entire city. Now, if you're like me, you found the moment in the film rather interesting as an alien being, trying to come to grips with his existence on an alien world, »

Canadian Singer Cameos In 'Man Of Steel'
4 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The third time was the charm for Newfoundland-based, B.C.-born singer-songwriter Allison Crowe.
After film director Zack Snyder tried to get one of Crowe's songs into the 2009 film "Watchmen" and again in 2011 with "Sucker Punch," he finally succeeded this year. The film is the summer blockbuster "Man Of Steel" and features Crowe in a cameo role.
"We filmed in October of 2011 so I've known for a good long time," Crowe says from her home in Corner Brook, Newfoundland earlier today. “This did end up working out and I was actually physically able to be in the movie, so that's kind of neat, too.”
Crowe -- who recently released her own compilation entitled "Songbook" -- says she had to sign a confidentiality letter to keep her appearance a secret.

'Man of Steel': The deleted scene that explains the ending?
4 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Spoiler alert! If you haven’t seen Man of Steel, stop reading now. There have been a lot of heady dissections of the film: Why Superman is the Jesus we wish Jesus would be, and what the film’s ending may or may not get innately wrong about the character. There has also been a lot of inappropriate swooning over star Henry Cavill, who trained his way into looking like the live-action personification of Beauty and the Beast’s Gaston — with a swell cleft in his chin, biceps to spare, and every last inch of him covered with hair. That got us thinking… »

[Warning! This Post Contains Major Man Of Steel Spoilers!!!]

Look around the Internet these days and you’ll hear a buzz about the new Superman reboot movie Man of Steel, and aside from some pretty divisive opinion about whether the movie is good or not (read our review), one of the biggest topics of discussion is the climatic battle between Superman (Henry Cavill) and General Zod (Michael Shannon), in which Superman is faced with the choice of watching Zod vaporize an innocent family or killing the ruthless general – ultimately (and controversially) choosing to do the latter.
There’s been vocal outrage on the part of some fans who feel betrayed ...

Zack Snyder Narrates The Superman-Faora Throwdown from Man of Steel
5 hours ago | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
If you thought the Smallville throwdown between Antje Traue’s Faora and Superman in Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” was cool, then you’ll dig this video of the director sitting down with the New York Times to narrate a brief section of the fight (like most of the fights in “Man of Steel” it, er, tends to go on for a while). The movie is currently setting records in June and should continue to do so. If you haven’t seen it yet, I would recommend it. I’ve never been a particularly big fan of Superman (either in the comics or in his various live-action iterations), but it’s hard not to like a movie where there’s a super-fight every 5 minutes or so, or at least that’s what it seems like. “Man of Steel”, directed by Snyder and starring Henry Cavill, Michael Shannon and Amy Adams, »

Man of Steel leaps predecessor in single bound
7 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Seven years after Superman Returns debuted disappointingly, the series reboot has opened faster than a speeding bullet
The winner
How long should a franchise lie fallow before it can be rebooted successfully? With its premier comic-book property, Warner Bros allowed an eight-year gap between Batman and Robin and Batman Begins, although it's worth remembering that grosses for the Christopher Nolan trilogy only reached spectacular levels with The Dark Knight, three years later; the sequel made £49.1m, as opposed to just £16.6m for Batman Begins. Sony did pretty well with The Amazing Spider-Man only five years after Spider-Man 3, whereas Universal didn't create much excitement with Louis Leterrier's The Incredible Hulk, five years after Ang Lee's less-than-fully achieved Hulk.
Seven years after Superman Returns underwhelmed audiences with a total of £16.4m in the UK and Ireland, the pricey Man of Steel always looked likely to improve on that total. With Nolan on board as producer, »

'Man of Steel' spoilers: Christopher Nolan disagreed with ending
8 hours ago | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Christopher Nolan was initially unhappy with Man of Steel's ending, it has been revealed.
The Dark Knight Rises director, who produced Zack Snyder's Superman reboot, disagreed with the decision to have Henry Cavill's Superman kill General Zod (Michael Shannon).
"In the original version of the script, Zod just got zapped into the Phantom Zone," Snyder told Empire. "But [writer] David [S Goyer], Chris and I had long talks about it, and I said that I really feel like we should kill Zod, and that Superman should kill him.
"The 'Why?' of it for me was that if it was truly an origin story, his aversion to killing is unexplained.
"I wanted to create a scenario where Superman, either he's going to see [Metropolis's citizens] chopped in half, or he's gotta do what he's gotta do."

Goyer & Snyder Talk "Man of Steel" Ending
8 hours ago | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Much debate has raged this week following the release of Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel". While the critical consensus is notably divided regarding the film's merits, one common complaint appearing is the sheer level of violence in the film's third act.
Major Spoilers Ahead
Like with "Superman II," the film portrays a fight in the middle of Metropolis between General Zod (Michael Shannon) and Superman (Henry Cavill). Unlike the Chris Reeve film however, the level of destruction is catastrophic.
Buzzfeed contacted a Technical Consulting firm to come up with estimates. They came back with 129,000 known killed and an initial estimate of $700 billion in damage.
This has naturally upset quite a few people. Even more debate though has raged over the decision to kill Zod, essentially breaking Superman's rule not to kill. Speaking on the Empire podcast, director Zack Snyder claims that wasn't the original ending.

Christopher Nolan Initially Disagreed With The Ending Of 'Man Of Steel,' 'Superman: Birthright' Writer Hates The Result
10 hours ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
If you haven't already caught the biggest June box-office opening of all time, you've no doubt witnessed the division of critics' opinions over Zack Snyder's Superman reboot, “Man of Steel.” As much as a sequel is secured, the film is certainly a mixed bag, as we discussed yesterday in our look at its strengths and weaknesses; but while one of the latter gripes focused on the ending -- spoilers, naturally -- during the climactic Metropolis fight between General Zod (Michael Shannon) and Superman (Henry Cavill), now a few perspectives closer to the material have spoken up on the bold decision. After their spoiler-filled podcast discussion on “Man of Steel,” Empire Magazine also devoted some time at the end to speak with Snyder and the film's writer, David S. Goyer. They touched on the many tweaks to Superman's origin story in the film, including the signature outfit and Clark's foster parents, »

Emily S. Whitten: Superman and Man of Steel
12 hours ago | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
As I’ve mentioned here before, I’ve been a Superman fan pretty much forever. Superman was my first encounter with superheroes, beginning with watching the first Christopher Reeve Superman movie when I was very small. Through the years, Superman has remained one of my favorite superheroes. Sure, I love Deadpool (obviously!), and I’ve always been a big X-Men fan… and Batman… and Spider-Man… and I could go on and on from there – but Superman, the most unequivocal and steadfast symbol of hope and ethical humanity in the whole collection, has always been there in the background, informing my appreciation of the rest of the bunch.
Some people say that Superman is a boring character. He’s too perfect. He’s incredibly powerful and can do almost anything, way beyond what most of us can fathom, and he’s constantly doing the “right” or noble thing. How interesting can someone like that be? »

Vote: Who's Your Favourite Superman? Henry Cavill Joins A Long Line...

Henry Cavill may have delighted fans with his arrival on the red carpet in London last week, but he's the first to admit that he's stepping into big shoes - and a cape, and some underpants - with his portrayal of the Man of Steel.
Henry Cavill may be pretty super, but how does he compare?
So just how super is he, when you line him up against the catalogue of actors who've played the role previously. And considering it's immediately Dean Cain and Christopher Reeve that spring to mind when asked, it's a surprisingly long list.
