Man of Steel 2013

Man of Steel 2013


I just came back from "Man of Steel", and to be honest, I"m kind of torn. I cant love it without serious reservations, and cant hate it without feeling like a Grinch. If you took all the best aspects of "MOS" and "Superman Returns" yous have the best Superhero movie imaginable. But if you took the worst aspects, youd have an illogical, hyperkinetic, racist,   sacreligious, bore, simultaneously overly sentimental about the life of a single dog and callous to the death of thousands. The reality is somewhere in-between. I dont think Ill be surprised by any reaction, whether ecstatic or contemptuous. Theres something for everyone...and in this case, thats a mixed blessing. I wish I was nine again, and could have stopped asking myself questions. I wont give this one a grade--somewhere between D and A depending on what youre asking from a summer entertainment. Im glad I saw it, but Im not entirely glad Im glad. Yeah, I know. Im confused sometimes. I contain multitudes. And some of them are happy. Others arent impressed at all.
