Review of Steel

Steel (1997)
1/10
DC Comics worst nightmare. This definitely isn't your father's Superman!
20 September 1999
Several years ago, DC Comics killed Superman. Four characters leapt to the forefront and claimed to be the fallen Superman. Steel was one of these characters and he showed great potential.

Then a movie was made bearing the same name. The movie sounded good in theory and it showed much potential. Then someone casted Shaq and the rest was history. Other bad choices were made like casting Judd Nelson. On top of all that a director was chosen.... not Oliver Stone, not even Tim Burton, but Kenneth Johnson. Kenneth who? The same Kenneth Johnson who did "V", "Alien Nation" and "The Incredible Hulk". It is no wonder the Hiroshima of cinema was created. This movie is the exact opposite of what a good movie should be. Bad acting, bad script, bad directing. This movie became something that would have made Ed Wood proud. The rest of us on the other hand should forget this movie was ever made. I know it is hard, but try...... please try to forget.
