I saw Man of Steel. It was okay, and I guess good enough to get another shot at making a better movie. If you really like superman, you might want to see it at the theater, but waiting for Redbox or Netflix wouldn't be a bad choice. It is funny to say that the various trailers packed more emotional impact than most of the actual movie. The cast was good, the story was too broken up by flashbacks, and certain choices drained emotional impact from important scenes. They didn't resolve the Zod problem in a way that didn't leave you asking a rather obvious question.
I'll post later with more discussion and spoilers.

Saw This is the End yesterday and for an over the top film that is quite frankly very silly I found myself laughing along pretty much all the way through. Great funny film, just don't go expecting too much though.
Same here--I laughed all the way through it but it was somehow less than the sum of its parts.
Excited about that, yeah--and they also said there'd be The Flash with some other JLAer. Meanwhile, Avengers 2: Age of Ultron!
While not a global 2013 release I guess, Ip Man 3 in 3D was something I was very much looking forward to. However a spat between Raymond Wong and Wilson Yip has resulted in Donnie Yen pulling out. Due to the great friendship btween WY and DY, it is unlikely a return will materialise. Who will play Ip Man is interesting, but the film will not be the same. Shame that ego's are not confined to Hollywood.
I thought "The Wolverine" was great!!! Some of the fight scenes were incredible!!!

I know it would make for a boring movie...but wouldn't Wolverines basic attack be to take whatever the guy is swinging at him across his regenerative skin and adamatium clad bones...and just stick him with his claws? It seems like he wouldn't need to duck anything and could just wade in.

Probably could do it that way, but after all it still hurts, so I suppose he would try to fight sensibly to try and minimise the pain, even if ultimately the enemy could not actually kill him outright.
Pacific Rim was great fun!!!
It was pretty good--the effects might be worth seeing it on a larger screen. Much better than you'd expect.

If you really liked the old mech anime cartoons, you have to see pacific rim on the bug screen. The acting is over the top. The plot is paper thin. But it is exactly what you want if you're a fan of that genre.

If you are looking for a fun, cool, exciting film with a fairly predictable plot then Pacific Rim is great!
I would go and see it again!!!
I mean who doesn't like Giant Robots and Monsters!

It's a great tribute to the old Japanese films! Sequel on the way, I understand.
