Superman for a new generation

Rating: 9/10 (14 July 2013)

Man of Steel is everything a fan can expect from a Superman movie. This story is a fresh new take on the character Kal-El and combines elements of Golden Age, Silver Age, and modern age Superman stories. Prior to Infinite Crisis of Two Earths, DC's run on the comics was a complete mess with stories of the Justice League of America and other characters such as Flash, Wonder Woman, etc. not following any sort of time line continuity. Despite many comparing this movie to Christopher Reeve's version (R.I.P) Superman's origin story had been told by writers time and time again in comics and this version gets it right. This movie does a great job at nailing the source material and creating a coherent story and movie experience. Man of Steel is the Superman movie for this generation and retells the story of Kal-El the way it was meant to be told.
