Man of Steel

 
 
 
Jean, This is a big time, big screen event in my mind. The theater I went to was literally packed. I have not seen that since "Iron Man 3". It has a great cast of actors and Henry Cavill is a great looking Superman, in or out of the blue tights and red cape. The actors all hold up their roles in fine fashion. And there is almost non-stop destruction as you near the end of the movie. ( It is long at 145 minutes ) Be prepared for almost complete high-rise building destruction and explosions etc. to the point that when you get to  destruction overload, the screen goes all white. (This happens 3 or 4 times.) I would see the next Super man movie now that they have spent so much time in exposition of the early days in Krypton. I really do not care about Kal-El or Jor-El or the Codex, etc.. My audience was there to see Superman rescue helicopters from a collapsing  deep water drilling platform or catch Lois Lane at the last second after she falls out of a plane. Which they did see. I thought Amy Adams and Henry Cavill made a good couple  but there is very little romance but lots of action and destruction.  Too bad they did not have more humor such as "That is not an S" or " They say after the first kiss, it is all downhill" or " To me he is just hot". This is one big action scene on another, maybe Christopher Nolan had something to do with that.  Dad
