Bad weekend for movies

I am beginning to believe that if husband and I decide to wait for Redbox for a movie, we probably just shouldn't see it at all lol.

 

We felt that way with Oblivion, it sucked. And with The Purge, it sucked. Now we have two more to add to the list.

 

Out of the Furnace - Very lackluster. I thought it was going to be about the mystery of what happened to his brother first and revenge second. Nope it was just revenge and not very well executed revenge either.

 

Man of Steel - This movie had no life in it, no story in it, nothing compelling. So Superman's parents sent him here to be a God to humans, to be something that humans will always strive for and never achieve. Okay then.....this movie smacked me so hard over the head with Jesus references I think I have a concussion. Just like they beat you over the head with the Superman symbol from the very beginning to. The timer period shifts back and forth until you have no clue where in the story of Superman you actually are. And then Superman gets his cape from a spaceship where he has a conversation with his dead father....which is not at all how that story usually goes, mommy Kent makes the suit for him, though there are two difference versions of how and what she uses to make it.  Then a fight scene that lasted forever and wasn't really that good. And then Superman kills the almighty Zod by snapping his neck. Okay, so they flew through buildings, threw cars on top of each other, beat the crap out of each other all over the planet....and it's that easy!? That easy to get rid of an equally indestructible archenemy? A huge disappointment.
