Man of Steel (2013)
Asgardian Review of "Man of Steel", with no spoilers:
VERILY, I DOTH SAY THEE THIS SUPERMAN MOVIE WAS YOUR BEST SUPERMAN MOVIE MADE SINCE THE GREAT BEGINNING OF THIS UNIVERSE, BUT THE BAR WAS SET SUPER LOW, NAY?
Twas most similar to your mortal hero of Midgard, the Manbats first movie, Batman Begins, which doth be both good and bad. First half of this story dragged ever-so-slightly, but tis the case of most superhero origin movies... except for THOR 1, where THOR was already a badass for hundreds of years and known throughout the Cosmos. all praise THOR, God of Thunder. Parts of the young alien Kal-el's story twas not Super necessary for the story, but twas well done nonetheless.
TO THEE I SAY NE'ER HATH I SEEN A SIGHT AS GLORIOUS AS THE FINAL HALF OF THIS STEEL-MAN'S STORY, AT LEAST NE'ER SINCE AVENGERS. The action was as good as Avengers, your Superman went full super-mode, as did his Villains, and was most Super to see on screen. Tis basically what all of the Nine Realms hath waited to see for as long as Superman has existed.
Parts felt as dark as Svartalfheim, the Dark Elve's homeworld, which twas odd for a story of this last son of Krypton.
TO ALL VILLAINS WHO WOULD NEGATIVELY REVIEW THIS MOVIE, I SAY THUSLY THOU WILL FACE THE FATE OF ALL VILLAINS WHO WOULD OPPOSE THIS SUPER MAN... OR THE GOD OF THUNDER, LORD OF LIGHTNING, MASTER OF THE STORMS, THE ODINSON, PRINCE OF ASGARD, THE MIGHTY THOR!
P.S. WHILE VILLAINS SHOULD NEVER BE TOLERATED, ZOD'S RIGHT HAND WOMAN, FAORA, WAS A BEAUTY OF NO EQUAL WHO I WOULD LET TOUCH MY HAMMER.
Superman vs. The Elite (2012)
A thoughtful, action-packed, entertaining Superman movie.
An extremely well done Superman story that touches on the major moral aspects of a superhero as powerful as Superman.
I should start out by saying I was NOT looking forward to this movie based on the previews I had seen, and after watching the movie I was VERY impressed with how it turned out. Does a great job of talking about the grey area of Superman's moral code of not killing anyone and if that is the right way to go in today's world.
Batman and Superman both don't kill, and as a result their villains ALWAYS escape and cause more harm, so why NOT end the monsters right there and save everyone for good? That's the central theme, and it presents it in an intelligent way with plenty of interesting and unique action. The animation is pretty good, and I actually ended up preferring this Superman visual style than the other Animated-Series style Superman.
The action was all great, felt like they made really good use of Superman's powers and strength... which sometimes they forget to do.
The story really kept me interested and I didn't really know how it was going to all end, and was surprised at how into it I was at the end and really wanted to see how it all turned out.
I would put this up right next to the Batman/Superman animated movie.
8.5 out of 10.
