A Look at Man of Steel 
 

If there was ever pressure to make a film right, it was for Man of Steel. This film had hype, Chris Nolan’s name, and the hope of an epic Justice League film. There was a lot riding on this film. Man of Steel had a ton of grand action, but it didn’t have a whole lot else. Although we hate to say it, this film was grand disappointment. Man of Steel is a $225 million children’s film that likens itself to a Power Rangers episode minus the red underwear.

Now You See Me

 

Rating system:
Alpha – the film was good and said what it needed to say
Beta – the film was mediocre and didn’t quite say what it needed to say, but was still entertaining
Omega – not a film worth watching

There have been many films centered on the idea of a good magic trick, and although Now You See Me follows a similar structure and formula as many predecessors, it is still a pretty enjoyable ride.Now You See Me is directed by Louis Leterrier,
