People are being too harsh on this movie- Man of Steel is awesome!

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2014)

Out of all the movies that come out this year, the one that I was most excited for was Man of Steel. The trailers looked so awesome! Yesterday, I saw the movie. Was it as good as I thought it was going to be? Two words: Heck. Yes. The story is really good. It's the normal Superman story we all know, but with a darker twist. It seems more serious and intense than having the destruction of Krypton be a sheer coincidence. You also see flashbacks of Clark Kent (that's Superman's earth name) getting used to his powers and how different points in his life made him the man today. I liked this. You could see how much he struggled. Superman in the past just seem overpowered and couldn't really be taken seriously. The Superman in this movie is relatable and shows his vulnerabilities in a great way. The only part that I needed explaining on was how his dad was able to put his personality, appearance, everything, inside a machine to reanimate himself with (I hope that made sense), but it's nit-picky and not too confusing. I also liked the more serious tone. Most superhero movies have more humor in them to take break apart the more intense scenes to show the light-heartedness of the movie. This didn't do that. It kept the flow of the movie going really well. There are a few funny moments, but nothing that distracts you from the content of the movie *cough* Green Lantern *cough*. The acting is great. They picked the perfect actor for every single character. They also seemed very relatable and realistic. Even Superman, which is pretty hard to pull of, since he's, you know, almost invulnerable. The action is some of the flashiest and intense I have ever seen in a superhero movie. There's crumbling buildings, gun fights, people getting stabbed, punching, kicking, throwing people through buildings, explosions, neck snapping, and more. And it's awesome! It's so fast paced and intense, it will keep you on the edge of your seat. I love it. The special effects are some the best I've ever seen in a superhero movie. Everything looks so realistic even though you know it's all fake. My favorite parts with the special effects all are in Krypton. That planet looked awesome. This movie had the special effects that Green Lantern could've had. Overall, this movie awesome. Pretty much everything about the movie was awesome. Anything I didn't like about it are so nit-picky and small, that I'm not putting them in here. This is, so far, my second favorite superhero movie of all time, behind The Avengers.
