Open Discussion #8: Superhero Summer! (With Help From Entertainment Weekly)

This summer has big things planned at the theaters, and I have help from the experts at Entertainment Weekly! As the title reads, Action-Packed, we will mainly be focusing on the big action and sci-fi films. Hangover fans will have to their homework on the EW website! You can find these following writers' full articles in the Entertainment Weekly: Issue #1255 with the Summer Movie Preview. Let's get started.

IRON MAN 3
Is there a better way to start the summer with the world's coolest playboy, Tony Stark? NO! Well, I guess with another Dark Knight movie, but we won't be seeing another one of those movies for uh, well, not anytime soon. The Last time we saw Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) on the big screen, was in Marvel's The Avengers. I personally call it The Avengers, but Marvel is picky. Tony Stark was fighting evil aliens with "The Demigod, The Super Soldier, A man with terrible anger-management issues, and couple master assassins!" *Notice I'm quoting the movie? Yeah, I've seen it 20 or 30 times. Well, You've probably seen the trailer, for Iron Man 3,  and after three years of waiting for another one of his own movies, I have to say that this is going to be the best. This time he won't be fighting aliens, but he will be taking on a bigger, more powerful being: Emotional Stress! Oh, and that other guy, the Mandarin, but you know, no one cares about him. I'm only kidding. After the events that took place in The Avengers, our courageous hero will be suffering from stress. Not only is he weary from the fighting, but also knowing the fact that humans are not alone in the universe. The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley), the actual villain, originally fell from the sky with alien powers, however, writer Drew Pearce tweaked it. The Mandarin, being new and not quit improved, doesn't fly, doesn't have 10 rings, and the rings that he does have, don't do anything special (he just doesn't like relationships!). So be sure to see Iron Man 3 in theaters on May 3rd!

STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS
Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) are back in the U.S.S Enterprise. 4 years have passed, and now, the rumored Khan (Benedict Cumberbatch) will be the worlds greatest threat. J.J. Abrams (Star Wars VII, Super 8) will return as Director and Producer. Not as much background has been released for this movie. However, the trailers sure look promising!

MAN OF STEEL
After kicking of the summer with the rich and powerful Tony Stark, It may be a good idea to tone it down a notch with a ordinary, (NOT) plain old Daily Planet reporter, Clark Kent, maybe? Yes, Clark is back after the  box-office bomb Superman Returns, and the recently ended Smallville TV series. This time, a more realistic take. If you haven't read one of my Man of Steel articles, I highly recommend checking them out now. Over the years, many actors have played the role of Clark Kent. Including Christopher Reeve, Tom Welling, and Brandon Routh. I have to say, Henry Cavill looks like one of the best. Lex Luthor, Superman's most well known villain, will not be appearing in the new Superman, but another villain will (obviously). This time, Michael Shannon (Jonah Hex, Pearl Harbor) will take the role of General Zod. June 14 marks the the release of hopefully the best superman film since the 70's.
