My Rating:
I am going to try to keep this review spoiler-free because it’s still new in the theaters. As such, I’m just going to come right out and say that I enjoyed this movie. I’ve always been a bigger Marvel fan, but in the DC Universe, Superman is my favorite. Perhaps Christopher Reeve is to thank for that. Admittedly, I was a little nervous; DC has been struggling to match Marvel’s success. I think James Gunn has started strong, and I’m excited for the next story.
This is a retelling of Superman, so they change a few things from the versions you’ve seen before. This is an especially important note for us Gen-Xers who grew up watching the Christopher Reeve movies.
Issue #142: April Greetings, Gamers! Another April Fools Day has come and gone and the Internet tried their hardest to April Fool us all. I humbly admit that I rarely succumb to an April Fools prank. In fact its probably been high school since I last fell for a prank; in fact you better have hard evidence if you want to tell me anything serious on 4/1 because I believe nothing! Every year I love to see what Blizzard comes up with, in fact one of the posts in this issue covers some of the best and worst Internet April Fools jokes.
I did see Batman vs Superman. I have been talking smack about this movie since it came out and the reviews were so awful. I’ve mostly been doing it to those of my friends that give me a hard time about Star Wars (despite its $932 million in domestic box office sales). I’ve also been doing it because I knew I was going to see the movie. Typically I won’t be too quick to publicly judge a popular movie like this unless I intended to see it (after all, I did watch Titanic before I finally decided I didn’t like it). In the spirit of full disclosure, I probably wouldn’t have gone to see this movie if I hadn’t been invited by a friend and the real reason isn’t because of the reviews. I think ticket prices are awful! (Just to warn you, there is a little bit of a spoiler at the end.)
