Superman becomes great again.

Rating: 8/10 (15 June 2013)

Being a big fan of the Nolan Dark Knight Trilogy, I was excited for the prospect of a superman movie when it was announced. Now So many years after it was first rumoured. Man of Steel is finally released and it fulfils everything I wanted taking all the great elements from the batman films whilst still being it's own movie as well as paying homage to the comics and original movies. The film is very much an origin story so the second act is full of exposition and back story but it never was boring or tiring. All the performances were top-notch I felt possibly that the villain needed a bit more screen time but nevertheless every time he was on screen, he felt threatening and yet also pitiful. I enjoyed the frantic and OTT nature of the Action scenes and Superman, An Alien from another world with super powers I related to. The flashbacks was an innovative way to see his development. Though the film has a lot of set-up for an very-likely sequel, Man of Steel was a great ride. As well as the mix of a superhero film with an alien first contact was a clever idea. Powerful Themes, Stunning Action, Great performances and the ending was a great way to close off I had Goosebumps as 'Man of Steel' emerged on the screen. Not many criticisms as I walked out with none being really any big enough to mention here. A strong contender for movie of the summer.
