An introduction to Superman that does just that!!!

Rating: 8/10 (19 September 2015)

In the comic book movie world, not everyone can be 100% satisfied. However, MOS accomplished its purpose to introduce DC's first character in their shared superhero universe. They used their crown jewel hero to begin a process that will span years of DC superhero films. Although the movie is not without faults, it does open the doors that DC fans have been waiting for years to be opened. Marvel shattered all the barriers and negativity towards superhero films and they've paved the way for DC to come in and take over this genre. I fully expect Batman vs Superman to be a magnificent depiction of the two most iconic characters the superhero world has to offer, and that's thanks to MOS. I also fully expect the DC universe to become the new standard for superhero films. The tone that MOS set showed moviegoers that DC is aiming at a much more dark and emotional experience. While Marvel has done a wonderful job, their films seem to be a bit more campy and geared more towards children. Now that we've been given so many Marvel Universe films people are wanting a bit of change. I believe the DC Universe is going to bring that change and usher in a new era of Superhero films. So my advice is to watch MOS with the mentality that this is the beginning of a whole new way to look at these types of characters and movies. MOS while is great standing on its own, will be much greater when DC uses it to give us the battles and on screen characters that we as comic book fans have only dreamed about.
