Man of Steel

Rating: 7/10 (17 June 2013)

I went to watch this movie, expecting an epic movie. What I received was a mixture of emotions. I personally liked the movie, but there were some things that I did not like, which of course applies to all movies. The acting, the action sequences, and of course the CGI were all great. But, I felt that Clark's character was not fully developed for a startup to what I anticipate will be a good Superman trilogy. The plot also felt subpar, in fact one of my friends mentioned afterward how it was similar to that of Superman TV shows we watched as children. Zack Snyder does a good job directing, not to mention the score by Hans Zimmer. But, overall I felt that this movie is a good follow-up to the epic Dark Knight trilogy and lays the foundation for a future successful DC comics trilogy, if not the upcoming Justice League movie.
