when you say the reception to a movie was "overwhelmingly positive"... that indicates the movie had to have been a classic or near classic.
man of steel caused no craze and gave way to no superman boom. it was just another summer movie. like godzilla.
not a classic.
not a movie that ppl will be talking about in year's time.
not "overwhelmingly positive".
i don't care how many ppl voted on these sites... mcdonalds also sells the most hamburgers.
Wouldn't we need another superman flick to determine if there's a "boom" or not tho? Other than comic book sales or dvd sales, what other evidence do we have to say whether there is or isn't one right now? The only comic book cartoons on tv right now are marvel products and they're all awful but their parent company is going to make sure they stay on air.
