Man of Steel is not so strong.

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2013)

Man of Steel was a great, well-directed Superman origin story, with fantastically creative action sequences, yet I cannot seem to ignore the large lack of character development.
While I understand that Superman is widely known and understood, David Goyer fails to develop Superman into a superhero the audience can actually care about. The dialogue and writing, at times, feels shallow and inconsistent. Not to mention, that some character's intensity and lack of humor or light heartedness was distracting and felt out of place.
Bottom Line: I am giving it a weak 8/10. Man of Steel is a impressive movie that will hopefully launch a bigger DC universe into existence. Individually, I really want to like Man of Steel and somewhere between the satisfying plot, the intense action, and the satisfaction of Superman done right, the positives outweigh the negatives.
