SUPERMAN: DOOMSDAY Review
Before I start off this review, I just want to clarify something. I’ve never been giving the chance to read Death of Superman, which the movie is supposedly based upon. So I’m going to approach this as a movie on its own and not how it stands as an adaptation. I tried to find some means to read it before I watched it, but with how iconic this comic is, I think you know why I was unable to. With that said, let’s get to the review. When LexCorp accidentally releasing a terrible monster named Doomsday, Superman is up against his most powerful foe yet. As I said in the…

FEATURE: Why Lois Lane Deserves a Solo Movie
The year is 2013; the movie, Man of Steel. As Krypton breathes its dying breaths, an alien craft approaches Kansas, its special cargo safely inside. As the fireball approaches Earth, the scene SMASHS to… Zod’s arrival, a Daily Planet staff gobsmacked, and a star reporter who alone can track down the hero Earth needs. Or at least, that’s what could have been, if only Man of Steel was a Lois Lane film. Amy Adams’ approach to Lois was refreshing, and what the movie does with her character is great. When we meet Lois, she’s on assignment in the arctic, covering the discovery of an object beneath the ice. Clark saves…

Danny Elfman is Bringing Back the Classic Superman Theme for JUSTICE LEAGUE
After Joss Whedon brought Danny Elfman on to work on Justice League, many have been wondering what the legend has been working on. Well, it looks like we finally have an idea of what to expect, he gives us new details on Justice League’s soundtrack, as well as his approach to the DC Universe.

REVIEW: Superman IV: The Quest for Peace
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987) Written By: Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal Directed By: Sidney J Furie I opened my reviews of Superman III and Supergirl with a question, so it’s only fair to ask one going into this one. What were they thinking? I’m kidding… Kind of, but to ask this question I have to set the scene. After Superman III and Supergirl, the Salkinds felt that maybe the bloom was off the rose and it was time to walk away. Enter Cannon Films. For those of you that aren’t film geeks, Cannon Films was a studio not unlike The Asylum (Makers of the Sharknado series.) They…

REVIEW: Supergirl (1984)
Supergirl (1984) Written By: David Odell Directed By: Jeannot Szwarc I opened the Superman III review with the question of following up two hit films. Well, the question today is similar: How do you follow up on Superman III? The film was far from loved by the general public and Reeve had cooled on coming back after the experience of making it so now you are potentially without the actor who is the beating heart of your film franchise. Fortunately, if you are the Salkinds you have a potential ace up your sleeve. When they purchased the film rights for Superman in the seventies they also purchased the rights to…

Review: SUPERMAN III
Superman III (1983) Written By: David and Leslie Newman Directed By: Richard Lester Here’s a question: How do you follow up on the massive success of Richard Donner’s Superman and Richard Lester’s Superman II? Donner and Tom Mankiewicz are gone and if you’re the Salkinds you see this as an opportunity to finally bring your vision of Superman to the screen. So, do you bring in Brainiac and Supergirl and team them up with Mister Mxyptlik? Well, Warner Brothers wasn’t keen on that so you go back to the drawing board and that’s when it happens! Richard Pryor, one of the greatest comedic voice in history is on Johnny Carson…
