"You will give the people an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders" Jor-El (Russell Crowe).
Over 70 years ago. Joe Shusten and Jerry Siegel created a superhero which saw daylight in those days. The character were the first superhero which success created a massive changes and brought new era to superheroes. It was golden age to writers. Back then heroes were pure and traditional hero without darkness. There wasn't anti-heroes like Wolverine which reminded Hollywood icons like Clint Eastwood. Superman is always have been popular character and original concept is same like before. Until Zack Snyder took the film to directing.
Reboots are big word on nowadays Hollywood. Man of Steel started again Superman's story. But this time in shortly way. The movie starts on the planet named Krypton which.. well every fan know how the story starts. Reboot worked very well in Batman Begins. Christopher Nolan's name is now "hot" and pure gold to the studios. He was one of the producers In this movie. Does his name helped and was man of steel good reboot like Batman? Unfortunately "the gold finger's" touch wasn't that powerful.
The cast is a-list. Kevin Costner and Diane Lane nailed their roles in good way. Amy Adams were good in Lois Lane role but like many other love interest roles it became "lady in trouble" style and acting was not main thing. Michael Shannon as Zod was interesting choice. But the script was biggest problem that his performance was boring and unmemorable. Henry Cavill sounded good in the hero role. But once again the the story is full of special effects and the story suffered a little bit. He was like The Terminator/robot. At least he smiled a few times. The best thing in whole movie was Russell Crowe as Jor-El. I will not compare him to Marlon Brando's performance. In this movie Jor-El got more action and larger role.
The visual side looked cool but some action scenes effects went to in the video game style. Not good at all. The movie has many action scenes and the battle between Superman and General Zod was quite good but boring. It reminded a lot of The Matrix Revolution final battle. Biggest problem was that Superman wasn't Superman in the end. I know that he was the rookie in this film. But Zack Snyder with his team took away man of steel morality and "I don't kill" attitude was gone.
Man of Steel is an entertaining movie and I will wait a long awaited Superman Vs Batman movie
