No matter who you are, everyone is a Superman in themselves

Rating: 6/10 (15 June 2013)

Boy, where to I start. I went in to the theater, with high expectations, and I came out, exceeding my expectations. The first and foremost thing I'd like to say, is that Man of Steel isn't just for the comic fans. It isn't all just about Superman himself. It goes much deeper than that. Henry Cavill embodies the Man of Steel in every aspect, no doubt about that. But, what really caught my attention, was Kevin Costner as Jonathan "Pa" Kent. Despite small amount of screen time, he definitely stood out. His embodiment as Superman's second father is a real aspiration. You don't need to be all big, with muscles to be a Superhero. But it's your actions that dictate that. Him just going out, saving the little girl and even his own dog from the tornado despite losing his own life, can be an inspiration for all people. It doesn't require muscles and big abs and pecs like Henry Cavill to be a superhero/superman. Its your action and willingness, which "Pa" Kent demonstrated. Anyways, really great film. Definitely Oscar-worthy. Michael Shannon really stole the scene as Zod, no doubt in a few scenes. He really captured the essence as Zod. He's a leader, he's a warrior, he's cruel and damn, he's a General. The action was amazing. I would never doubt Snyder on the action. I know his style. We all knew what to expect. That last fight between Superman and Zod was definitely my favorite. Great action sequences. Not too heavy on CGI, but it's there, and noticeable, but Snyder does a better job with it than most directors. Overall, go see this. Bring your friends, bring your family. They'll all enjoy it.
