Man Of Steel Review: Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, In Great Epic

Man Of Steel is a great movie. While not quite as good as Iron Man 3 or Star Trek: Into Darkness, there should be a photo of Henry Cavill’s version of Superman right next to the word “epic” in the dictionary.

Man Of Steel was that big a film.

What stops MOS from being in a place where it is as excellent a work of film to match its bigness, is in the design of the story. The use of flashbacks did not serve Man Of Steel well. While they did help move the story along, the flashbacks helped it along too well.

In an origin story, especially one where the writers and producers and director were making so many changes to the characters, having a few linear moments of levity during his young years would have been perfect.

And while I liked Hans Zimmer’s music, it wasn’t on the level of John Williams. You need an epic movie soundtrack to go with an epic film, and Mr. Zimmer didn’t bring that – John Williams’ “March Of Superman” is still the gold standard, and it’s role as the thrown-holder here has not been touched.

As for the actors, Henry Cavill has nailed the Superman / Clark Kent character, and is at his best in his scenes with Diane Lane and Kevin Costner, who plays his mother, Martha Kent and dad Johnathan Kent, respectively. Amy Adams’ Lois Lane needed more to do in terms of meat, and while she was good, there were one too many times where she seems reduced to needing Superman’s help.

Michael Shannon’s ‘General Zod’ was the best ever, and Mr. Shannon is arguably the best actor in the movie, and one of the best bad guys in film history, and combined with how well Lawrence Fishburn played Perry White, was the reason Man Of Steel is a top-knotch film.

The New Parkway Oakland Theater Video Tour | Queen of Outer Space

The New Parkway Oakland at 474 24th Avenue in the Uptown District, is something to see. It's kind of tucked way in a warehouse that's much larger than it looks, and is just around the corner from a corner cafe on Broadway and 24th that has been several different businesses over the years. The hosts for our video tour were Randy and Karen, who are the managers and operators and caretakers of The Parkway Oakland Theater for its owners - a group of 87 investors who gathered together and put blood, sweat, and tears into the renovation of a space that was once used by the Occupy Oakland Movement. Now, it picks up on the spirit of the original Parkway Oakland Theater, where you can lounge on big, overstuffed couches and eat great pizza or drink gourmet beer and wine - or just watch a movie. And it's in the movies where The Parkway gained its fame. When I visited, Randy and Karen were working out the color for the screening of "Queen of Outer Space," the 1958 sci-fi movie starring Zsa Zsa Gabor, Eric Fleming, and Laurie Mitchell. It's slated to be shown this weekend, starting Sunday. It will be presented by the QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE with guest host Queen's Slumber Party from Thrillville. For those who remember the first Parkway Theater on 18th St near Park and Lake Merritt, you recall Will Vaharo and his "Thrillville" - a time where a vintage film, or.. Well, let Will describe it: "For many years, Will "the Thrill" and his wife Monica "Tiki Goddess" Cortes hosted a live cult movie cabaret called "Thrillville" featuring classic drive-in/grindhouse cinema and live burlesque acts, which still influence his work. " And the good news is that "Thrillville" is still going strong at The New Parkway. So, come and visit this great place hidden in the middle of Uptown Oakland. Help keep the sprit of The Parkway Oakland Alive. And for those who don't know that history, check out the Parkway Oakland Playlist of videos at Zennie62 on YouTube - the only full video history of what happened to the old Parkway Theater, as it happened, including interviews with the original owners Kyle and Katherine Fisher.
