A New Legend, Barely Touching, Mostly Riveting and Bombastic

Rating: Null/10 (16 June 2013)

This review maybe as unique as this movie is: "Man of Steel". The story touches most of the mythology of this very American legend. A new creation myth with a bright and menacing story is gloriously told of this star child from another planet; a story now retold a dozen times in print, TV, and a few well-known film versions. I have seen them all and I enjoyed this "ride" until the last half hour. Spoiler Coming Maybe? "This an action movie about aliens among us"; there is going to be some breakage! In a Batman movie "Gotham and its citizens get trashed", in a Superman movie.... The intense presentation started to beat me up and down through my eyes and ears. The destruction was overwrought and over done. I have rarely wanted a movie, short of a horror gore fest, to stop all ready; enough! Regardless; it is a worthy and intense telling a story oft told.
