The death of the Jonathan Kent character was a serious misjudgement in my opinion...<br /><br />Thanks for commenting :-)Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470510671824637475.post-1911914034769585682013-08-04T17:18:05.960+01:002013-08-04T17:18:05.960+01:00What can I say, but I just don't like most sci...What can I say, but I just don't like most science fiction or super hero movies these days. Man of Steel seemed to be imitating both Batman Begins and Spider-Man by giving the hero a guilt motivation. Some heroes (like Batman) are well suited to a grimdark style, but Superman isn't. Haven't seen the new Star Trek, and probably won't. The over-emphasis on youth is a turn off for me. The senior officers of a ship should be experienced, not yuppies fresh out of college. And I hated the plot twist in Iron Man 3. I'm sick of Hollywood's leftist blame-America-first bias. There. End of rant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
