Man of Steel: Don't believe the 'critics'

First of all, this isn't a movie review of the 'Man of Steel'. By now, I'm sure if you're interested in seeing this movie, chances are you are going to see it regardless of whether or not I tell you about it in a review.

Plus, I don't profess to be a movie critic. I wouldn't even know where to start. However, what I will tell you is that I almost went in with a pessimistic view of the movie because of the movie critics who say it was boring, dull, slow, and humorless.

First of all, it was produced by Christopher Nolan. You know, the guy that directed the last three Batman movie? You know, the guy that made Christian Bale growl all his lines as Batman so that you could barely understand him? You know, the guy that made Christian Bale play Bruce Wayne not as the clumsy, billionaire playboy like Adam West, Michael Keaton, George Clooney, and Val Kilmer, but brooding billionaire that didn't know how to even try to have fun with all that money.

What were you expecting from this Superman? A happy go lucky Superman played by Christopher Reeves? Or the equally simpleton Brandon Routh?

No, this is the modern day 'complicated' Superman. Let's just say that this Superman doesn't have it as easy as the other Super'men'.

I won't get into it anymore than that because then I'm going to start giving away plot points, but since you know that Nolan had a hand in creating this movie, expect a somewhat 'darker' Superman.

In the end, I thought it was a great movie and another great reboot to a franchise that was hoping for a winner. Go see it and forget what the critics are saying about the movie.

I think you'll enjoy the movie and I can't wait for a Christopher Nolan Batman/Superman movie. Let's hope Warner Bros green lights this movie one day!
