pretty good comic movie

Rating: 8/10 (5 July 2013)

Man of Steel almost matched Batman Begins as a very good origins story. it is slightly too long, and i could have done without a great deal of shaky cam, znyder ruined good dialogue/character scenes by shaking the camera too much, when are directors going to get it into their thicks heads that by shaking the camera the audience is alienated from the characters and story, all we notice is the camera moving for no reason, this does not imply reality. the 3d was again utterly pointless, please stop doing these conversions that again distract from the film. but having said that it is a very enjoyable and at quite a few times a moving film, you do feel for all the lead characters and even zod is given legitimate reasons for his action, Cavill is very good, not quite up to Christopher Reeve, but the nearest i think anyone can get to him. for once i did not find hans zimmer's music annoying and intrusive, this is by far one of his better scores, the main theme had a majestic and stirring feel to it. all in all a good re boot of a franchise that has been ignored for far too long
