DC SET:
These are all based around the "new" DC Universe
of superheroes! Noticably missing in acttion is
Green Lantern!
SUPERMAN: MAN OF STEEL(2013)
Ok, finally watched this movie. Only took a year!! LOL!
Anyway, I had really low expectations for this as it was
hailed as a "re-boot" of the Superman lore! If you are a
Superman affectionado, you will not care for much of
this movie, as, just like the re-boot of Star Trek, it doesn't
just take liberties with the lore, it smashes it to Hell!!
Which is really too bad! As with Star Trek, if they had
stuck to the lore this would be hailed as nearly, if not,
as good as Superman The Movie!! It was basically a
re-telling of the second Superman movie, Superman II.
The story was really good, the acting was good, script
was good, and the music was appropriate! Henry Cavill
was a good choice for Superman/Clark, though will never
make anyone forget Christopher Reeve! Amy Adams
was good as Lois. But there is no Jimmy Olsen! And
no nod to any of the previous incarnations of Superman!
That was disappointing to me! And Perry White
black!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??? Other than that, this really was
a great movie! Just not up to the previous Christopher
Reeve outing!
A little jarring is the full-frontal nudity in the
form of Kal-El as a baby!! While it didn't bother me
I'm sure that there are those overly prude people out
there that I'm sure where totally offended!! B+
As with others on this set, there are several specials:
Superman 75th Anniversary Animated Short;
New Zealand: Home of Middle-earth(this is really neat!!);
Strong Characters, Legendary Roles;
All-Put Action;
Krypton Decoded!
From IMDb.com:
I have never been a hardcore superman fan, but I
was fortunate enough to see an early showing of
Zack Snyder's reboot. And I must say, I am quite
impressed. Casual moviegoers and superhero fans
will find something to enjoy. Man of Steel has great
wreck- everything action that makes full use of 3D
effects and simply looks awesome. The story is decently
paced, and fueled by strong performances by Michael
Shannon and Russell Crow(e). The character Perry
White wasn't used to his full potential, but that's
forgivable. If you're a fan of classic Superman, you
might be disappointed by the fact that this man of
steel is pretty up- tight. He has only two or three
lines that are humorous, making him less charming
then the Christopher Reeve superman. The charm
is replaced by the character development the man
of steel experiences when he must choose between
his past and his future. (that makes for an awesome
showdown, by the way.) To summarize, I give Man
of Steel an 8.6 for it's portrayal of a classic American
hero. - gamerzach7

BATMAN V SUPERMAN:
DAWN OF JUSTICE(2016)
First things first, while I didn't particularly care for this movie
mainly because of its darkness, this is a must watch!! For this
is a lead in to the new JLA movie that's being produced!!!
Ok, so here we go! This tries to give a beginning to the lore of
Batman and Superman's partnership together! Problem, this is
a horrible mish mash, with it jumping around all over the place!!
Not only that, but this is, if it's possible, the darkest DC movie ever
created!! Again, it's DC trying to be Marvel, and I don't like it at all!!
It's all based around Lex Luthor trying to pit Batman against Supeman,
using Lois, then Superman's mother, for what purpose, unknown,
and unexplained!! I did not enjoy this at all, and had to really force
myself to watch the whole thing!!!
If you've read the comics about Doomsday, this is that story AGAIN
being rehashed in AGAIN a different light!!
The only bright spots for me was a cameo by Aquaman, Flash, &
Green Arrow, and Wonder Woman showing up to help out, and
an indication of the upcoming JLA movie! B-

population that have contracted what's called the "white-nose" ailment!!
From IMDb.com:
While this movie was much anticipated and had the potential for
a good movie, it fell short. There really was not a consistent plot
line. It seemed that they just tried to get too much into one movie.
We pretty much know the background of Batman and Superman,
so those sequences did little more than disrupt the flow of the movie.
Some background on Wonder Woman might have been more useful.
There were just too many characters and too many sub plots to have
a movie with any character development or plot continuity. I am
surprised that they did not send Aquaman in to save Lois Lane in
the drowning scene. With the scope they tried to cover, this should
have been a 2 part or trilogy event. - jsaus63304
