Will "Man of Steel" Steal The Summer Box Office? YES!!

June 14th. Mark your calendars. The "Man of Steel" returns to theaters. Thank you, Warner Bros!

No, it is not a sequel but a serious re-boot to a story that has captured the imagination of kids and adults alike since 1938. I must admit I was a little disappointed in "Superman Returns" but the fact that I bought a dvd of it anyway tells you something about how deeply rooted this character is in our national psyche or at least mine.

These days, movie tickets are not cheap and if you get the munchies, forget it... you are screwed. The average working class movie lover is forced to be judicious in where they are investing their allotted "cinema" budget.

If I have to save my pennies from today forward, I will be viewing the "Man of Steel" on the big screen! With Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Lawrence Fishburne, Michael Shannon and Russell Crowe attached, you have a strong indication that the story is not just popcorn fluff and may have some real depth to it. If you were a fan of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, one can only imagine how his involvement as producer stirred the creative juices of Zack Snyder as a director.

I am excited! In case anyone is on the fence, I am attaching the latest trailer of the "Man of Steel."

You watch this and tell me you aren't ready to take another ride with Superman!

I dare ya!

  2. YES! Nolan creates a great mood. Zack Snyder is no slouch either with "Watchmen" and "300" under his belt. The Superman franchise is one of my favorites! I would kill to be a part of it! :)
