Better upon review

Rating: 6/10 (19 January 2019)

Just watched Man of Steel for the first time in a long time. It's better than I remember! I was so disappointed when this came out. It's too earnest, too dark. But there were several strong performances from Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Russell Crowe, Laurence Fishburne. And Henry Cavill was good too. The Zod stuff was just too much, too over the top. They should have pitted him against Lex Luthor on Earth.
I'll say this for it though: after watching Aquaman last weekend, it makes me appreciate Man of Steel which was clearly better.
