Well I think it's true the best has already been done with it. But still I thought this might be watchable to some degree. I thought it wasn't. You should go see it and see what you think for yourself.
The problem is that DC Comics and Marvel are going mental. They are trying to fast track Man of Steel 2 for late next year or 2015. A Justice League movie thereafter as well (Batman again with Superman and introducing Wonder woman and Flash), a full Wonder Woman movie, probably a full The Flash movie and even Aquaman (!) Marvel: Avengers 2, Thor 2, Captain America 2, Spiderman 2, 3 and even 4, Fantastic Four, Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man (!).
All those in the space of less than 5 years whilst we also get Star Wars episode 7 and 2 Avatar sequels. If I was working on a film I'd make sure it wasn't released in 2015 that's for sure.
I think Spielberg and Lucas are correct. Hollywood is going to implode very soon. $250 million movies are unsustainable at this level I think. I think they need to go back to basics and spend less money on hiring an army of computers to make things completely ridiculous. I thought that's exactly what they did well with The Dark Knight trilogy (although somehow they still managed to spend that much money on the films, it certainly didn't go towards visual fx). Now DC Comics is turning things towards the ridiculous shiny Marvel computer animated world. But hey what do I know? If people want this type of stuff it will get made I guess.
