A modern Superman that will definitely divide fans and critics alike

Rating: 8/10 (30 August 2016)

Superman is a comic-book character that means so much to many people around the globe (myself included) and nothing to some. For some he is a sign of hope, for some he is just that cool superhero that can fly and is super strong,others he is a Christ like character which no other superhero character can parallel, and to a few he is just a overpowered, boring character. Due to the varying levels of enthusiasm for Superman, it is next to impossible to please all the fans of Superman and still keep the general audience eager for more Superman. In other words, it is inherently hard to create a "great" Superman movie to please all the crowds of people i described in my second sentence. Now here comes Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel", which tries to please both Superman fans that view him as a Christ like character and those who just see him as a cool superhero who can fly and do "cool" stuff, and overall Man of Steel, I believe, will please both to some extent. This is a Superman movie littered with Christ references all over the place, while still been a mindless Superhero movie with great action scenes ( the best ever in a Superman movie). However, this compromise is also the movies biggest shortcoming and must likely led to the polarizing reviews this movie got. Overall, I will recommend this flick to both fans of Superman and DC because it is still a solid Superman movie for a new generation of fans. And to those who despise this movie, you can always watch Superman Returns.
