5 Things We Want in ‘Man of Steel’
Superman Returns gets a bad rap. It isn’t nearly as awful as people say it is, but it isn’t anywhere near as good as it could have been. It was hurt by a number of things, but the biggest problem was continuing a series of films from 20 years ago. It was full of winks […]
