Perfect? No. Great none the Less? Yes.

Rating: 9/10 (14 June 2013)

While Man of Steel has its many flaws (Superman kills, Lois knows who he is already, half of Metropolis is destroyed while Superman is "saving" it, pacing is VERY odd) as many good movies do, it also has many amazing and inventive things about it. The origin is jumbled and changed in various places and the characters develop much differently than they do in previous adaptations. However, in the end, you get kind of the same outcome. The action, of course because it's from Zack Snyder, is very thrilling and is spectacular to watch in 3D. People who are not fans of the Superman comics or older films should enjoy this movie because it's got astounding fights and breathtaking visuals. Those who are fans of the comic should go in with an open mind. You don't watch Justice League: The New Frontier and compare it to the origin story from the Justice League animated series. Man of Steel is a new story with new elements, not a straight up adaptation of the origin as the original Richard Donnor film was. This doesn't feel like a Zack Snyder film (300, Watchmen, Sucker Punch), but mainly because this doesn't feel like any film I've ever seen before. I really, really enjoyed it. I hope people can see by its minor details and move on to see the great film that's really there.
