Man of Steel

[brickhousewench]

I'm watching Man of Steel on cable. I knew it wasn't going to be a movie that I liked, but there's really nothing else on the tube tonight, and I figured why not see what all the fuss is about?

It's about gratuitous special effects. So, we've got another filmmaker who confuses spending wads of money on special effects with actual storytelling

even my Dad did not like that movie.

I hated the part where Mr. Kent told him to hide his gifts....

That is not Mr. Kent.

[brickhousewench]

Yeah, and Mr. Kent did such a good job in other places teaching him to be a good man. It did seem out of character to not have him teach Clark to help others with his gift.

...orgy?

[brickhousewench]

Not that kind of orgy silly!

There were huge parts of the movie where I was just surfing Facebook because it was clear they were just going to be punching each other and blowing stuff up for a while, so I didn't need to pay attention until they decided to talk again.

You know how when you say "walk," or "cookie" around a dog and his/her ears prick right up? Same thing.

Did you say "cookie"? :D
