Man of Steel.....again really?

Sorry for the long hiatus but we're back with another hollywood review for you! They've done it again, and by again I mean turned one of the classic American comics of childhood and remixed it to be a Hollywood blockbuster! This is.... I can't even remember what version of Superman, but I'm personally tired of the lazy "let's just reboot the whole series" genre thats out right now (still pissed about Star Trek and ALREADY mad about Star Wars...)!

The movie itself is NOT bad. Its filled with all the latest special effects, but the casting was a little lackluster (that FBI wackjob from Boardwalk Empire is the Donald Rumsfeld of Krypton...sure ok). You get the flying/fighting scenes you wish you could have seen decades ago that we now have the technology for so thats rewarding but at what cost? The plot line was altered from the comics (so I've heard) and even from the earlier movies, so if you're a purist, prepare to be pissed.

If you were born after 1996 you'll probably love it and think its an awesome cartoon to live action movie! So time for the reel (haha) question Hot or Not? Its not worth the price of admission but I might try to sneak in after watching The Purge....
