Not just another "Superman" movie, but something better...

Rating: 7/10 (23 June 2013)

"Man of Steel" has opened to largely positive reviews and it is certainly a compelling enough watch. Like in The Dark Knight trilogy, where Nolan added shades to Bruce Wayne to make him a "Dark Knight" and not simply a "Batman", here also director Zack Snyder uplifts Clark Kent to become a "Man of Steel", not simply a "Superman" who flies the skies and is often confused with a bird or a plane.
The movie beautifully showcases Clark Kent's journey from being an under-confident young lad who felt every bit an outcast as he perhaps actually was to becoming a beacon of hope for all - the one they eventually call the SUPERMAN.
Henry Cavill has given a brilliant performance as the Man of Steel and has really made the character his own. Amy Adams, Russell Crowe, Michael Shannon and all the other casts have also played their individual roles perfectly.
However, the movies is lacking logic at some points and may have done better with less-drawn action sequences. But overall it manages to get through the story it tries to tell quite nicely and for that I give it 7/10.
It is certainly worth a watch!!
