Man of Steel

Another Superman epic is soon to grace our screens, for hero comics’ lovers it is truly worth looking forward to. “Steel” still follows the traditional Superman origin story of the bay Kal-El being sent to earth after his home planet Krypton is destroyed.  The baby Kal-El becomes Clark Kent on earth who struggles with his identity and superpowers in relation to his fellow Earthlings. Then there is General Zod and his army who come to seek out Krypton’s last survivor to collect a codex which could recreate and repopulate Krypton. However, the General decides that is Earth is as good as any place to recreate their home plane even if it means wiping out the human population and this where Superman comes in.

With some critics beaming it has a weak story line and ratings still not convincing (most blockbusters have all been regarded like this and endup being hits) the effects are over the roof and fast pace chase through skies is … and everyone knows Superman is the beloved hero character with fans rooting hit to be a hit so to h**** with criticizing and yapping on reviews.

He recast Brandon Routh as lead in Superman Return instead of Cavill. Again Cavill was the cause of a write-in effort from fans to see him as Cedric in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The role however went to Robert Pattinson. In Stephenie Meyer Twilight series despite being favoured by author for Edward Cullen even when production started Cavill was too old to play the character and again Robert Pattison carried the day in 2005. He was again the final contender for role of James Bond in Casino Royale. The producers and director we torn between him Daniel Craig: reportedly as much as supported for the role the producers preferred an older Bond, So Craig land the role…
