The third installment in Richard Linklater‘s enduring love story goes wide this weekend, and critics say the Certified Fresh Before Midnight is as funny, insightful, and achingly poignant as its predecessors. Now, in Before Midnight, they’re married and hoping to recapture the spark that first brought them together. In Before Sunset, they were older, wiser, but no less enamored with one another. In Before Sunrise, Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) were two young travelers who formed a bond after a chance meeting in Vienna. (Check out this week’s Total Recall for a rundown of Superman movies, as well as our interviews with the Man of Steel cast and crew.) The pundits say Man of Steel delivers plenty of muscular action, but it’s overlong and unfortunately short on character development. He learns to utilize his incredible abilities for good, and becomes Superman in the process, but eventually, the nefarious General Zod goes looking for him. Snyder is an adrenaline junkie forever jonesing for a fix he does less building to the action beats than backing each one. A child from the planet Krypton is sent to Earth, where he’s raised by the Kent family.
MAN OF STEEL ROTTEN TOMATOES UPDATE
With Man of Steel, Zack Snyder attempts to update Supe for the 21st Century, but critics say he’s only moderately successful the action scenes are often rousing and Henry Cavill brings an undeniable charisma to the character, but the film is weighted down by an overabundance of spectacle and a disappointing lack of wit. Superman is arguably the definitive comic book hero, but few would argue that he’s had the kind of unqualified big-screen success as his DC buddy Batman.
