Man of Steel
At last, Hollywood has decided to embrace the modern family dynamic with a super-hero raised by two fathers.
What's more, the alien in this action movie also has 2 moms.
During Krypton's final hours, Jor-El (Russell Crowe) infuses his son with the DNA of the planet's population, and launches him into space.
Landing on Earth, he's adopted by a farm couple (Kevin Costner, Diane Lane).
Imbued with extraordinary powers but unable to exploit them without exposing himself, Clark (Henry Cavill) struggles to find his way.
But that changes when a Kryptonian prisoner (Michael Shannon) comes to Earth intending to colonize it.
While this reboot has the most fisticuffs of any Superman film, its love story with Lois (Amy Adams) lacks oomph, and its dark alterations to the character's moral conduct are uncharacteristic and unwelcome.
Incidentally, the best way to thwart any super-powered savior from the heavens is to crucify them
