    Bullshit! BULL...SHIT!!! He fell off a fucking bulding...Superman saved him...he devoted his life to fighting crime! What is so hard about that to have to change things? And Shaq? This film was doomed from pre-production.

    Thankfully I don't remember enough of this to be haunted by it. But the bits and pieces I do recall are worthless.

    I am a sad, pathetic human being, but I want this film on DVD. What can I say? I'm a superhero completest, and this is, like, the only superhero movie on the planet that HASN'T been put on DVD. For God's sake, they even put METEOR MAN on DVD. METEOR MAN!!! At least Steel is based on an actual comic book character! I WANT STEEL, DAMMIT!
