“Aw, Superman, come back. We promise we won’t stare at your penis anymore. These aliens are really strong.”
If you’re debating whether to catch Man of Steel and are on a time-crunch, let me save you a pile of nerd words and say, yes, go see it. Because even though it’s not quite the Superman movie people have been hoping for after Superman Returns, and I’m about to nitpick the hell out of it, it does start out full of promise and potential that you almost don’t completely zone out once the whole thing becomes a CGI pinball game with characters loosely resembling the ones you saw earlier played by actors. It’s also not quite the well-crafted reboot Batman Begins was, despite huge similarities thanks to sharing the same writer and Christopher Nolan producing, but it does come close before Zach Snyder basically goes, “Eh, that’s enough story. Just throw him at shit.”
Let’s get TL;DR.
The Most Important People on The Internet:
Volume 3.20
Welcome to this week’s installment of The Most Important People on The Internet which I’m especially proud of for not only including a Joe Don Baker reference, but also George Peppard which young people won’t get, so shove that in your sexual primes full of technological wonders. *takes sip from cup* Mmm, damn good Metamucil.
