Could be worse, could be better

Rating: 5/10 (15 August 2013)

First of all, I would like to say just a few things about me watching this film. I'm not a big superman fan-boy, I like action movies A LOT, and I like Nolan's work on the Batman story.
That being said, Man of Steel was just so far away from his less- powerful DC friend.
Good sides: Henry Cavill really does look like Superman. He is muscular, his hairstyle is superman-like, and overall he gives the impression that you are indeed watching the mighty Kal-El.
The bad guy Zod (Michael Shannon) was great in the movie. Michael is a really good actor and he did very fine as a villain against superman.
Also the story at the beginning is serious, and yet otherworldly enough so you wouldn't think it is some kind of family drama doze-off movie.
Action parts have great effects, fighting sequences are intense and adrenaline rushes will happen while watching this.
Bad sides: This movie (for me personally) only has one bad side. Too much destruction and fighting in the second part.
Yes,yes I know. I wrote that I like action but when the storytelling part stops and fighting begins, it is just never ending. First few fights are just awesome. Everyone is super-strong, thing are just flying around, lasers, super-speed,blah blah blah.
But after a while it just gets boring. I remember after a while my friend turned to me and said: "Oh wow really?! They are going to do a big fight scene again." And that really is the biggest problem of this movie.
I don't feel that the Man of Steel - Superman should fall as a victim to another super-CGI packed movie and be presented as "great action" or "cool visual effects" I mean really guys? Do you want to spend your money watching everlasting action and blowing-up sequences? I recommend Expendables 2.
Superman has to have its fair share of action, but he, as a character, is so much more. Never killing anyone (which is possibly the side-effect of his ass kicking in this movie), always on the lookout, shinning example to every human being. While in this movie he is just a super- strong ass kicker with a bad childhood.
This is a good movie but......this is not a good SUPERMAN movie.
