Super Movie! The Best Comic Book Movie Ever Made!!

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2013)

I didn't even know what to expect when I saw "Man of Steel." It was such an awesome combination of great special effects, very good writing, intense action scenes, and had a more original story line that showed Superman in a whole new light that the previous movies have failed to accomplish. The movie touched on Kal El's original visit to earth, his parent's story lines, his relationship with Ma and Pa Kent.. as well as introduced classic characters such as Jimmy Olsen, Louis Lane, Perry White, Pete Ross, Zod, etc..
The whole thing was very well done and I was never bored for a second. I found myself thinking about 3/4 through the movie that I wished it wouldn't end. Besides visual effects, the audio effects and soundtrack were also really good. This movie was an excellent example of modern filmmakers striving to create perfection in re-doing a classic and succeeding for a change. Most re-dos are poor in comparison. This movie was better than any of the new Batman titles by far.. and those were praised by most of the critics as being some of the best comic action titles ever. Well Man of Steel blew those away. Just an awesome awesome movie all the way around.
The most intense part of the movie was the fight with the other Krypronians visiting Earth. The fight scenes were really intense and so well done that you really got a strong feel for how powerful Kal El really was.
The writers didn't seem to be 100% obliged to keep the movie script as true to the story line of the comics.. which was IMO the best part. I would have never guessed Superman would have been so bold in any feature film as to snap an enemy's neck! That was insanely fun to watch.. "CRACK!!!!"
and of course Superman saved the day and Earth as always.. this movie was just so much fun. I haven't been the type of person to ever see a movie twice in the theater.. but if I do.. and I probably will.. I will see Man of Steel again this week.
