The Best Superman Movie

Rating: 9/10 (6 March 2017)

PROS: Krypton is well explored and we get to see some of the different creatures as well as the technology. The score by Hans Zimmer is fantastic. Russell Crowe is amazing as Jor-El and he is in the movie a lot more that you'd expect. Michael Shannon was good as Zod and he had great motives. Retelling the origin story through flashbacks was smart. Kevin Costner and Diane Lane are the best on- screen portrayals of Ma and Pa Kent. Henry Cavill is good as Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman, making the character relatable, and updated perfectly into modern times. The film shows how people would react to a godlike alien being on Earth, people initially would be freaked out. Superman working with the military was great. Amy Adams is good as Lois Lane and her knowing Clark Kent is Superman was smart. Laurence Fishburne is amazing as Perry White. The action is fantastic and it realistically portrays how godlike aliens fight each other throughout an entire city, buildings get destroyed and people die. Tons of cool DC Comics Easter eggs as well as homages to other Superman comics. CONS: There are some lines of dialogue were a bit cheesy. Lois Lane sometimes felt conveniently there a little too much. OVERALL: While it's not without flaws, Man of Steel is a great movie and for me it's the best Superman film made yet. SCORE: 9/10
