A fresh angle on Superman

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2013)

Very good movie! The story in itself is very reliable and relatable. There were some moments in the movie that was moving. The action sequences are phenomenal, thanks to Zack Snyder! There where some sequences where I felt I was watching a Dragonball Z anime recorded on film, which to me is a good thing. You've gotta remember that this is a whole new angle on Superman, but it's hard to not compare Henry Cavill with Christopher Reeve. Reeve can not be replaced, ever. But there is a more honest and a bit more charismatic feel around Cavill. And Henry did pull the job off in his own and original way. The only negative I have is that I felt the acting wasn't satisfying. Don't get me wrong, the actors in the movie are good, especially Cavill. He is definitely our generations new Superman. But I felt the potential of the actors could have been exploited a bit more. Now in order to place this movie somewhere between my Top 3 Superhero films. Then i have to resemble it with The Dark Knight, which is my 1#. Heath Ledger carries this movie the whole way on his shoulders, and The Dark Knight in my eyes, is in its own class. So Man of Steel is my solid 2#, where either The Avengers or The Dark Knight Rises is 3#. Overall: A beautiful movie with a good story and a solid tribute to the Man of Steel comics. P.S: I rated the movie 8 :-)
