Man of Steel.
First time since I saw it in IMAX and left drained but satisfied.
Still felt very positive upon the conclusion of this that beyond the divisive innernet wars and tweets of hate and angar, it was a really solid modern construction of the character (as far as giving him a separate but relateable cinematic existence because eat spacenuts, fanboys).
That moment with Diane Lane and Clark trapped at school gave me the feels outta nowhere. Didn't expect that reaction on a smaller screen but everyone plays it so well.
Pa Kent's death is the only thing that kinda irks me. Maybe it's the fact I can't separate my feelings from the Glenn Ford incarnation or that Donner and Co. made that moment impossible to improve upon. That they tried a different kind of framing for the psychology of the character and the tragedy of losing his father BY CHOICE is infinitely more fucked up and keeps Clark's alien origin his main identity. Some poopoo it, but I appreciate the attempt and hope it bores fruit in the next chapter.
Faora is STILL mai waifu. Get your own, Colonel Gene!
