Real Man of Steel - A New age, no-bullshit, thoughtful Superman in a Dark Earth

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2013)

MAN OF STEEL May not be the best Superman movie ever made but definitely it is the biggest and worthiest of the character Superman. A lot of critics are upset about the lack of Superman/Clark's wit, charm and humor and yeah I missed it too, but on the other hand the film amply compensates with stuff that we always wanted to see in Superman movies but never could. I remember way back when I was watching Matrix Revolutions I so wanted it to be Supes and a big baddie from outer space to level the skyline of a metropolis than Neo and Agent Smith. Yeah this movie delivers that in aces. A lot of people are complaining about the 45 min action set piece in the end, but come on: this is what me and the millions of fans worldwide paid their money for. I seriously don't want Superman matching his wits with an evil megalomaniac anymore, I wanted him throwing his fists against someone equal to his power in sheer physicality. Here we see that but not just against Zod but a multitude of others as well and how Superman fights against the insurmountable odds and attains victory in the end. Snyder took the right decision to steer away from previous Superman movies in mood and present us something that was never touched in there. The absolute power and physicality of Superman. Now that it has been established I believe the next movie will be more about the Superman we know and love and like all successful franchises the next movie will be the biggest and the best Superman movie ever. My two thumbs up for Man of Steel, a must watch for everyone.
