Now You See Me, and also Superrman
I'm going to make this short and sweet. Did I like Now You Se Me? Yes, despite Jesse Eisenberg and his snarky persona. Yes, despite disliking Isla Fisher. I like Woody Harrelson and also Mark Ruffalo. The critics snarked on it, but I thought it was better than what they said, so there.
Superman (or, as it calls itself Man of Steel. Is that really necessary?). I liked it too, but it was too long. Henry Cavill is very good-looking and does a good job as Superman. Amy Adams is MILES better than Kate Boswoth as Lois Lane (and I like her better than her doppelganger, Isla Fisher). Michael Shannon is also good, but I saw MOS on a 70 foot-wide screen and it was hard to take his crazy eyes on a screen that big. Also, it was TOO LONG. Unlike The Avengers (or Captain America or Thor, all of which I would have been happier with if they had been longer) this really needed some judicious trimming. And I really disliked the final confrontation with Zod. Seriously, it did not need to end that way and I think the writer just took the lazy way out because they weren't clever enough to think of something better. And yet, I still liked it.
