The BOLD beginning to a new franchise! Awesome!

(My first review on IMDb EVER. And I am glad it is for MAN OF STEEL) For a long time, I have waited for a movie which captures the perspective and speed of Superman as it is meant to be. This movie does it.
The movie is BIG. And though it captures the action sequences worthy of SUPERMAN, it is not devoid of emotional content. Not going overboard, the movie explores the human behavior in presence of an unknown entity.
Coming to the action sequences, I feel there has been nothing attempted like this before. The movie is more Snyder's than Nolan's. Therefore the movie becomes more enjoyable if a fan enters enter the Hall expecting a Snyder treat with hint of Nolan's flavor.
One of the best aspects of the movie is that it lays good foundation for the Warner Bros to explore this world superhero in depth through a sequel. A sequel will need an equally strong nemesis with more time given to build certain side characters and relationships.
All in all the movie is worth every penny; with a good build up culminating in a visual treat for the viewer. Thumbs up!
