Amazing.

Rating: 7/10 (14 June 2013)

Earlier today I watched Man of Steel with extremely high standards, expecting it to be my new favorite movie. Although it isn't my new favorite movie (it's my second favorite movie) it was still amazing. The emotion conveyed by the actors was astonishing, there wasn't that much humor but I did giggle at certain scenes. I felt the beginning of the movie was a bit too fast-paced and I would have loved to see it paced at a decreased speed in exchange for another half hour of the movie. The action was amazing, the flying looked realistic, Henry Cavill did wonders as Superman but who really took the spot light was Russel Crowe as Jor-El. Jor-El was easily my favorite character in the movie with Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman as a close second. The soundtrack was surprisingly great. It's a great movie. 9.7/10. 0.3 points off just because of certain aspects I disliked such as the fast pace at the beginning and the ending of the final battle felt anti-climactic.
