Brilliant Reboot

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2015)

Man of Steel is an amazing reboot of the Superman Universe. Henry Cavill has captured the essence of Superman more than anyone has since Christopher Reeve. Where Superman Returns, Lois and Clark, and Smallville failed, Man of Steel has prevailed. Cavill is the quintessential Superman, bringing a believable superhero to life. The story, using many modern day movie effects introduces us to a new introduction to the the life and times of Kal El, aka. Superman.
The film is brilliant in the way it uses dream sequences to show the Earth history of Superman. While Clark Kent is searching for his place on Earth, he brings us along for a roller coaster ride of flashbacks telling of his coming to Earth, his realization of his powers, his introduction to his real father, Jor El, who helps develop him into his superhero self, and his discovery of his love for Lois Lane and his calling as the savior of mankind against the tyranny of General Zod, played brilliantly by Michael Shannon.
It is an epic battle of good against evil and Zach Snider truly captured the soul of the superhero many comic book readers have come to adore. It is a great introduction of a series which is destine to spawn many sequels.
