A welcome, refreshing and relatable remake.....

Rating: Null/10 (24 June 2013)

Superman.... superman.......!!!! The old 1978 movie theme was composed in such a way that the first few tones could be synced with the character's name... and he did such extraordinary things... like land a plane using his hands inside a stadium...
MAN of Steel is a refreshing take on this iconic character.. infusing a more human side to the character in terms of emotions, attachment to family, and so on.. The new costume was also a welcome change... As to the conclusion, it serves the purpose that Zack Snyder wanted and answers a question never before addressed in the comics or cartoon series save for the one episode in the Justice League where an alternate dimension man of steel lobotomizes the villain Doomsday with his heat vision... Russel Xrowe gives a whole new representation of the character of Jor- El. Jonathan Kent is also given more importance than in the old films.. It appeals to all... those who know superman and those who don't.. Can't wait for a sequel to the movie to roll out...
