Best Super Hero Flick Since The Dark Knight

Rating: 9/10 (14 June 2013)

Why not the best since The Avengers? Well, that's debatable.
First of all... Don't listen to a word the critics have to say. "Too much action" (how can you have too much action?) "No humor" (there were a few funny parts.) The critics are unhappy when a movie is like another movie. They're also unhappy when a movie is not like another movie. They can't be pleased.
But if you like to see a true spectacle... if you like super hero movies... if you like the realistic approach from The Dark Knight films, then you'll love Man of Steel.
By "realistic," I mean that it's believable all around. You understand how everything is possible--from Kal-El's super powers to super weapons of Zod. Whether a scientist would agree with everything I'm saying right now, I don't know. In my mind it passes the Science Fiction Test.
From the point Kal-El is introduced, he's doing what he does best: saving people. That's why we love Superman, right? From the time he was a boy he was saving people.
I'm also a fan of how this movie was filmed--with actual film. Zack Snyder did an excellent job all around with the look and feel of this movie. It's as Epic as it gets.
Where should this franchise go next? I'd like to see DC go the Batman VS Superman approach instead of copying Marvel. Let Marvel do their thing and DC will do what they do best. They've got a good thing going here. I can see The Dark Knight world co-existing with this world very easily.
