Superman A Must Watch

Rating: 9/10 (1 August 2013)

A problem a necessity leads to a solution or a re-invention. But what if a super human personality searches for answers? What if the choices for him were made and still he has to make a choice? Man of Steel is not just about the cape wearing super hero who can bite a bullet and x ray you. It's not about the super powers he has and how he uses them. It's about how a father defies the world he knows for giving his son the ability to choose. How Jor El even after his death provides an avenue to his Son Kal El to discover himself. How Jonathan Kent helps Clark Kent harness and control his powers and maintain a low profile in this world where his super powers may be perceived as alien and lead to his alienation. Man of steel is about Clark Kent's search for who he is? Where he comes from and how he has these incredible powers. It's about how Lois Lane picks up trails and tracks of Greenhorn a shrimp fisherman who mysteriously disappears after an accident on an oil rig, a bar tender who leaves the bar after being provoked by a drunk brawler but does not budge. How she discovers who this supernatural being is who seems to come out of nowhere to help people and silently disappears. As a story Arc Man of Steel has a villain who is equal to Super Man and wreaks havoc on earth searching for him as Super Man is the last son of Krypton and holds the key to the dead planets emergence again. General Zod searches out planets and arrives at earth understanding the key to his quest is on earth. He holds the earth at ransom and out comes Kal El/Clark Kent but now fondly called Superman by the people. Superman takes on General Zod in an epic battle which pits General Zod as an equal adversary whom Superman has to finally kill in battle. The story unfolds much better on screen with the effects and epic battles. But one question to all those whiners who complain about Superman killing General Zod?
Why not look at this point in Superman's journey as the pivotal point where he decides as a principle not to kill anyone? For more on the action sequences they are better watched on screen. Henry Cavill looks every bit the Super character he is and also has that adoring and lovable smile which makes him the innocent looking Clark Kent. The photography is awesome in the movie and there are a few easter eggs to all DC Comic fans where Lex Luthor is referred and also Bruce Wayne(Batman's) Wayne Enterprises is mentioned.
