SuperDUPERman!
Stupendous, Unbeatable, Pristine, Excellent, Remarkable, Amazing, and Noble. These are all things I was thinking while watching Man of Steel. If you are a big comic book fan like I am, then this movie is for you. Man of Steel tells the story of Superman the correct way. The movie begins by telling the story of the planet Krypton. Krypton is facing destruction due to its unstable core, the result of years of exploiting Krypton's natural resources. The ruling council is deposed by the planet's military commander General Zod, and his followers causing a military coup. Scientist Jor-El and his wife Lara launch their newborn son Kal-El on a spacecraft to Earth, infusing his cells with a genetic codex of the entire Kryptonian race. After Zod murders Jor-El, he and his followers are captured and banished to the Phantom Zone. However, Krypton explodes some time afterwards, freeing them.
Later on in the movie, Kal-El's ship lands on a farm on Earth. He is discovered by Martha and Jonathan Kent who raise him as an orphan. Kal-El is named Clark Kent by his orphan parents. Clark finds it difficult to live a normal life and as a child. As a teenager, Clark begins to help others using his abilities. Later on the story, his father Jonathan informs him that he is an alien and tells not to use his powers in front of people to avoid rejection from the public. As an adult, Clark spends several years saving people in secrecy. Later on in the movie, scientists discover a fallen spaceship in the Arctic. Clark follows and them and soon stumbles upon the ship himself. He enters the ship and meets his fathers preserved conscious. From there he learns about his ancestry and is destiny to save people and be a true hero. Meanwhile, Zod and his henchmen escaped the phantom zone due to the explosion of Krypton. He knows That Kal-El is still alive and is very furious. While Clark is becoming the hero we know and love, Superman, General Zod wants to restore Krypton and he wants to do it with the planet Earth! Will he be successful or will he be defeated by the boy in blue?
