First Look: Superman set to soar again
What: “Man of Steel”
When: Opening Friday
Cast: Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne and Russell Crowe
Director: Zack Snyder
The story: You remember Superman, right? This is yet another look at how an infant from Krypton ended up saving Earth.
The buzz: It looks like this just may be the first time Hollywood really has gotten Supes right. The 1978 “Superman” wasn’t bad. But the less said about “Superman II,” “Superman III,” “Superman IV: The Quest for Peace,” “Lois & Clark” and “Superman Returns,” the better.
