Batman v Superman Trailer #1 (Short)

I really like how they captured the skepticism and mixed reactions the world would have should somebody like Superman turn up in the world. And of course the nod to The Dark Knight Returns. But please refrain from the shallow "IT’S TOO GRIMDARK" blanket criticism. You know the two heroes are going to end up friends, they just don’t want to give away what that looks like in the FIRST TRAILER, FFS.

 

I’m still seeing bullshit about Man of Steel being too dreary and hopeless. What the fuck movie were you watchingSure, you can argue it was a Superman movie seen through a somewhat dirty lens, but not through a dark one. read more

OR Joint Review – Man of Steel

Falldog: Thanks for checking out Otaku Revolution’s review of The Man of Steel. Normally we don’t do movie reviews around here (not sure that we’ve done one ever, actually) but Neon and I felt that in light of the poor critical response that we take the time to write up our commentary on the film. We both liked it. I thought it was fantastic and way better than this year’s Iron Man 3. And I’m saying that as a long time Superman fan.

And guess what! This review is filled with a fuckload of spoilers! Stop reading here if you haven’t seen the movie or don’t care. read more
