Man of Steel Review

From Washington Post...
 I do not own this picture/poster. Man of Steel and/or DJ Prince Nor Way owns it all.
Newly minted superstar Henry Cavill makes a well-built, handsomely credible Superman in “Man of Steel” — or at least he will, in an already-planned sequel that, with luck, will more thoughtfully exploit his talents.

For now, audiences can only speculate as to the hidden depths of Cavill, who in Zack Snyder’s busy, bombastic creation myth is reduced to little more than a joyless cipher or dazzling physical specimen. Produced by Christopher Nolan, who brought such grim self-seriousness to the “Batman” franchise, “Man of Steel” clearly seeks the same brand of grandiose gravitas. But that dour tone turns out to be far more appropriate for a tortured hero brooding in his cave than for an all-American alien who is as much a product of the wholesome windswept Plains as a distant planet called Krypton.
 Snyder and his writer, David S. Goyer, accentuate Superman’s intergalactic provenance in “Man of Steel,” which opens on Krypton just as the planet is crumbling, the rogue General Zod (an alarmingly skeletal Michael Shannon) is threatening a coup and the wise scientist Jor-El (Russell Crowe) is sending his infant son Kal-El into the cosmos in order to begin the world over again. Seeking to cram as much back story as possible into a movie that feels like a reboot, prequel and creation myth all in one, Snyder and Goyer then leap forward to a time when Kal — now an adult earthling named Clark Kent — is working on a fishing boat, haunted by an unnamed past and once in a while jumping into the water to save a crew from a burning rig with his superhuman strength.

The Dark Knight Rises Review

I do not own this picture/poster. Fandango and/or The Dark Knight Rises own it all.

The first review on my movie channel is the Dark Knight Rises. This movie was great, but it was long. The villain Bane (Tom Hardy) is trying to take over the city and kill Batman Christian Bale) . He trapped Batman in a well. Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) at the beginning was a bad guy and than transferred to a good guy.  At the end, Batman got out of the well and went to fight Bane with Catwoman. During the fight, Bane punched Batman though glass. Than they told this story about Bane saving Miranda (Marion Cotillard) a few years ago and how she was always a villain. Blake/Robin ( Joseph Gordon-Levitt) was trying to save the kids. They faked like Batman and Catwoman got killed, but only did that because they wanted to start over there lives and be normal people. I give the movie a 8.5 stars because it was a great movie but way to long. Thanks for reading and make sure to read my next review.
