Man of Steel is what Superman isn't.

Rating: 1/10 (7 March 2014)

When I watch the original 1978 Superman I get goosebumps, I get emotional, I am hopeful of mankind aspiring to do great things, to make the world a better place. The John Williams music is rousing from the first minute to the last. Richard Donner's Superman is the epitome of superhero flicks because of its warmth and attention to character.
When I watched the train wreck Man of Steel I felt nothing except utter disgust for treating the material this way and wanting the film to be over. The music is atrocious (Zimmer has done much better than this). I say avoid this film if you hold the original film in your heart. Snyder completely misunderstood what Superman is about. Man of Steel is also too dependent on CGI effects, so that they become obnoxious after a while.
