Best movie I've seen in a long, long time

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2013)

I don't usually take the time to rate or review movies, but this one felt necessary. Man of Steel deserves to be ranked with some of the best movies in history. This is probably one of the best movies I have ever seen, in all regards. The storyline goes above and beyond in ways other movies can't even begin to. Superman is finally made into a believable, realistic individual. Man of Steel completely shreds all of the unrealistic fantasies of a god-like infallible, which in my opinion is necessary considering Kryton's less-than-perfect civilization. It goes above and beyond in detail-work with tiny details adding up to serve an ENORMOUS understanding. The plot serves to answer all questions of how, why, and when to an unprecedented extent in cinema. The background story is equally balanced with full-scale action cinema, as the antagonism ties into Superman's origins. And what could tie it all together better than one of the best casts I've ever seen? An exceptional first movie in a reboot. This movie has clearly set one of the best foundations for a saga that could go on as long and far as filmmakers could dare to dream of.
