Superman is brought back Shining!

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2013)

I consider Man of Steel one of the best films of all time for many reasons. Superman is revived after an awful previous franchise, and it now begins with a BAM! Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan carry out a film with heart-pounding action, high levels of intensity, and they mash it all together. This films revamps the entire idea of Superman.
They begin from the very beginning (If you don't already know the origin) with epic sequences of General Zod (the antagonist) and the destruction of the planet Krypton, Superman's home. Superman takes with him an element of some sort that Zod is looking for. Kal-El, Superman's father defends his newborn son from the strike as Krypton crumbles. With beautiful effects and great acting the beginning of the movie already had me hooked. From there we explore Superman's childhood as he reaches his full potential.
Later on in the flick Superman meets Zod, who has taunted the world in exchange for the Man of Steel. From there the movie flows into an action packed story. Several cities are blown up as Zod attempts to take over Earth to re-create his home world. The effects are amazing considering other blockbusters that have come out recently. The Avengers has all explosions for the second half of the movie but Man of Steel has an epic story and better explosions!
Other movies that try to reach this level of epic storytelling do not reach it. This movie is neck to neck with Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. The Man of Steel does not fail to entertain. It has amazingly filmed action sequences, great effects, likable characters, and amazing acting! These components all lead up to one of the best movies of all time.
11/10 If possible!!!
