Re: Hot Toys or other 1/6th goodness that makes our wallets cry
Regarding Man Of Steel, I really enjoyed it. I like that Zack Snyder took chances with regard to Krypton, the non-linear narrative and the jaw-dropping and epic action sequences. But I have to say that it didn't totally live up to my expectations, which was really high going into it. Superman 1 & 2 were movies that I cherished as a kid and basically shaped my perception of the character before I got into the comic books. So I felt that Cav' El didn't convey enough warmth, charm, humanity that those movies did. But to be fair, those movies were of a different climate in terms of politics, tech, and oulook whereas MOS is rooted in realism in present climate. Zack Snyder still did a good job at presenting a believable Superman and had me emotionally invested enough to want to see his vision for sequels and a possible JL movie. Heck I PO'd MMS200 and bought the soundtrack. A far cry from IM3 where I felt I was watching Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Pt 2.
