"Man of Steel"
Directed by Zack Snyder

Action, Adventure, Fantasy
143 Mins
PG-13
With a first half that focuses on exposition and a second that's all about the explosions, Zach Snyder and Christopher Nolan have done it... Superman is finally cool. With the whizkid pyrotechnics born of Synder's directorial hand and the tenderly crafted narrative laid out by Nolan and David S. Goyer (the team who wrote Batman Begins) this modern revamping gives the Man of Steel a much needed update into the post 9/11 era with intelligent panache.
What Nolan and Goyer have added to the franchise is a sense of stakes that have never existed before within the context of Superman, particularly on film. Supes has always been too immaculate, too shimmery, and too invincible but with Man of Steel, we meet a very flawed and isolated individual putting on a brave face. Rather than downplay that reclusive nature, it's the forefront of the piece.

Throughout these eight episodes (the second half of the final season begins August 11), many loose ends become even looser, like Walter and Skylar’s marriage and Walt and Jesse’s meth making and dealing.

Funnymen Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen - the writing team behind Superbad - have teamed up again to make their directorial debut and the funniest movie in the last ten years. With the who's-who of comedic actors playing amped up versions of "themselves," this ensemble bounce off each other with the snappy veracity of high speed bumper cars and manage to bottle lightning. Like sitting in on a smoke session with this pack of real-life buddies, the experience will either make you euphoric, inducing helpless giggles and maybe even tears of joy, or make you uncomfortable, leave you with dry mouth and make you want to go home. Thankfully, if your funny bone still works, you'll probably be in the former camp.

How do you discuss a movie that seems to actively uphold genre trappings and makes absolutely no contribution to the film world at large or the horror subculture? You point out everything wrong with it and hope that no one makes these mistakes again. Well at least that's what I'm gonna do. That and make fun of it.
