Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull Says MAN OF STEEL Is “the Superman Movie I’ve Always Wanted to See”
My generation needs to grow some grape fruits.
this movie is going to be a must see … been forever in the making it seems like.
Considering I had no expectations whatsoever for this movie I think it looks surprisingly good.
Definitely looks awesome.
more hipster and existentialist shit. thanks for ruining the american youth.
Obviously you’ve never read J.D. Salinger or seen Rushmore or Harold and Maude cause thats the type of “shit” that saves american youth not ruins it. This movie probable isn’t in the same ballpark as those listed but at least it looks like its trying.
