The MAN OF STEEL Makes You Fly

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2013)

Finally justice has been done to SUPERMAN!!! This is a must watch in the cinemas. Being a big fan of Superman my views might be a bit biased. I certainly enjoyed this film much more than Avengers and Iron Man 3. Loved the cinematography by Amir Mokri the shaky footage makes everything feel so much more real in 3d I actually forgot I was sitting in a theater for a major part of the film!!!
It has become a common sight now watching earth getting destroyed but they are surely getting better at it every time :) The VFX was incredible. The film is a visual delight. The scene when Clark dawns the Superman costume for the first time and flies It just blows you away
The film is more of action than emotion. The emotional scenes could have been done way way better. The story writing and dialog was weak in that department, the only disappointment in the film. Kevin Costner's act of Jonathan Kent was a very forgettable one. Lois Lane was the biggest turn off in the film they surely could have cast someone better than Amy Adams!!! The chemistry between Charles and Lois was in the negative. Russell Crowe as Jor El gave a magnificent performance. Henry Cavill also did a good job. I was not impressed by Michael Shannon (General Zod), his act at more than one place felt artificial.
The score by Hans Zimmer as always was delightful and very successful in creating all the thrills.
But ultimately it was the action that takes the film to a whole new level, keeps you glued to the screen. The concept of superman not being invincible throughout the film keeps the suspense alive. If you love action, Man of Steel film is delicious dessert for your eyes.
Had Christopher Nolan directed this film instead of Zack Snyder the film would have been even greater than what it already is.
All said and done, I am surely going to the cinemas to watch the Man of Steel in action. Again.
