Man of steel....the superman film that we've been waiting for

Rating: 8/10 (22 June 2013)

I won't lie when I say that as a hero Superman is incredibly flawed. I don't know why but you can't really empathize with him like Batman or Spiderman because 1- he isn't human and 2- his only weakness is rock.
And after all the old superman films they really needed to do something new and make it watchable (nothing like the awful embarrassment that was returns)
Well he's still flawed but my god I've seen this film twice and it certainly blew me away. The cast was a great ensemble with Henry Cavill really embodying the role of Superman, Amy Adams a believable Lois Lane, Michale Shannon as the evil General Zod and of course good old Kevin Costner as Clark's earth daddy. However I never thought I would say this but Russel Crowe I felt was truly brilliant in the scenes he had and every line was superb and spoken with conviction.....Did anyone else want Lawrence Fishburne to go all Morpheus on everyone
This film wins the award for most explosions in a film ever and the action was intense with no stone unturned if it was there to be destroyed then by god it was destroyed thats all I'm saying. The fight scenes were a thing of beauty.
This film truly captured an almost human fragility to this indestructible hero and one that I feel can only get better.
Bring on the sequel
