There has been a recent wave of superhero movies as of late. Some good, some bad, some great and some not worth mentioning, but how will this year stack up to the rest? That is the question. We are now in a day and age where the superhero can come to life as is was written and drawn in the comic books themselves. But sometimes what's lacking is story. Beyond the mystical images full of splash and lights and slow motion action it is the story that is some times left behind. The year 2012 just may change that. I will start with a superhero movie that is not based on a comic book. Chronicle is a story about three high school kids that gain super powers one day. They proceed to use their powers much like any kid that gains power. They use it recklessly. But it seems one goes a bit too far with his deeds. This seems to be pretty fresh take on the genre as not only comic book superhero movies have been become popular but original superhero movies as well. Most of those are never good.
