My ,,Man Of Steel'' review

Rating: 8/10 (27 June 2013)

So yesterday I treated myself to go and see ,,Man Of Steel" with my friends and to be honest I was really worried about how's the movie going to turn out because I had a lot of hopes for this one to kick all sorts of ass considering the trailers looked amazing and so a set forth to the theater. After an almost 2 and a half hours I was really happy to see that the movie did good,actually very good.The story of Kal-El(Clark Kent)was told in a series of flashbacks that made his character more flushed out and likable .Since they were going for a more realistic approach about how the world would react about having an alien among their midst.The first half was done brilliantly for setting up Kal-El's arrival to Earth and portraying his troubled childhood in a series of flashbacks where he struggles to keep his alien origins a secret from the world as he is now lost in the world figuring out where did he come from and what is he destined for.Everyone gave a standout performance I particularly liked Michael Shannon as general Zod,Kevin Costner as the father figure that guides Clark through his troubled youth and Russel Crowe the real father Jor-El.By the time everything is set up the amazing second half begins with all its superpowered CGI desturction glory and mayhem as Zod comes looking for Clark(Kal).I just had one problem with it and that's the too much in your face destruction,don't get me wrong it was awesome but sometimes you get to question how much people died in that epic clash.I generally liked the movie,gave it an 8 out of 10 although it isn't perfect,it's certainly a great Superman film ready to stand on its own and create an amazing franchise destined for something truly special.
