Okay.

I'm a huge fan of Kevin Kline.

With that being said, he was the star of this film. He held it all together and if he wasn't present in the cast the movie would have fallen apart completely.

I haven't seen the movie yet but guys, it's Kevin Kline. I mean, he was in Wild Wild West AND No Strings Attached. Go see this movie. Pay $14 at AMC to see it IMAX 3D. I know I will. For Kevin.

Thanks, guys.

Other than the scenery from Atlanta to Alaska, this movie is beautiful. The story of this young man, Christopher Johnson McCandless, giving up all of his money and possessions to simply live in the wild is both touching and inspiring. The ditching of communication so suddenly with his family is not an inspiring part of his story, but the journey he goes through and the people that shape his life change his feelings towards how he left and really make him think about what he was doing. Ever since watching this movie (and reading this book) I've come to study all about this man, learn everything that is out there to learn, and even ace 2 projects and a test on him. This movie ultimately shaped my life and made me think about the simplicity of living and how much we take for granted.

Watch this movie. Sean Penn did an excellent job directing this picture. He himself is an amazing actor, but I believe this is his best direction. Emile Hirsch not only looks just like the young McCandless, but really did an outstanding job portraying him. Going from dorky-but-lovable Matthew Kidman in "The Girl Next Door" to confused transcendentalist Chris McCandless in this movie really pushed him up to my top 10 favorite actors.

The scenery is beautiful, shot in each state that Chris traveled to. The soundtrack is another thing that makes this movie so beautiful. Eddie Vedder did a perfect job producing a sound that makes you feel something when listening to it. Even now when I just simply put in my earbuds and look out my car window I reflect on Chris McCandless's story and wonder what life would be like living like that.

This movie was truly inspiring and will most likely remain my favorite movie for years to come. 10/10. Beautiful.

I'm going to start off by saying that I am mostly a Marvel fan. My favorite superhero's consist of DeadPool, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and some others. However, I am not completely biased towards Marvel. DC Comics doesn't exactly have the "coolest" collection of comic book super heroes, but they do have some good ones, including Batman, Green Arrow, and DeathStroke.

I am not a Superman fan. At all. I do not care for the over exaggerated love story between he and the indecisive Lois Lane. I find his invincibility to be a little boring to watch when he simply fights a bald man in a suit (aka, Lex Luthor). When the commercials for Man of Steel first started airing, I was not convinced. I do like Zach Snyder's work, but not enough to be convinced to go and watch a Superman film. Then I saw that it was being produced by Syncopy, whom we all know is the infamous, awesome story telling, Batman series directing, Christopher Nolan. When I noticed that he was on board with the project, my attitude towards it went from "not interested" to "maybe when it comes to DVD".

Man of Steel came out over the Father's Day weekend, and as a gift to my father, I took him to see it because he thought it looked "worth it". I was going into the theater with very low expectations. When I came out, I smiled. I spent my money well. For a Superman movie, this was done very well! I'm not a fan of Superman, but I enjoyed this film! The dialogue was well set, the scene changes were a little awkward, but not enough to destroy the plot, and the origin story was well told.

Now the fight scenes, well, they made the movie to me. The story was good, but it dragged on a little and made the movie feel as if it was 3 hours long. Once the fighting came around, though, the movie went from a 4 to a 7 in my rating. They were long scenes! Well directed and played out, and definitely awesome! I would probably say that the fight scenes are either on par with or a little better than The Avengers fight scenes. They were just fantastic!

So, for someone who doesn't really care too much for DC, and who isn't a fan of Superman in the slightest to go see a Superman movie and come out thinking it was enjoyable and worth the money, then that should be a little sign for anyone who is debating whether or not to go and see this film. Check it out! I'm sure a local theater may have a $6 evening rate. If not, $10 is still a decent price to check this movie out. If you're still on the fence, I'd definitely recommend watching it upon its DVD release. It was very well done.
