Good but could have been better

Rating: 8/10 (15 June 2013)

I am a big superman fan and I did enjoy man of steel. Big bold action and some touching scenes, what it needed was more of the latter. Henry cavil, Kevin Costner and Diane lane were all excellent as the Kent's in the short time we saw them together what we needed was more time with them. They needed more than the short flashbacks. Russell Crowe had ample screen time and was very good.
The action was great but all the sequences had a similar look and after a while it got to be a bit too much. No slow mo like 300, everything was very quick.Some more defined scenes would have been better along Further character development in Kansas and the action scenes would have meant more.
That said when it was good it was great, an excellent looking movie,the cast were all great and Henry cavil was absolutely superb as the man of steel.
