Superman finally gets a 'Super-Movie'

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2013)

Before i tell you how the movie was let me just say "SCREW THE CRITICS". I had been eagerly waiting for this movie for the last 1 year and when i finally read the critic reviews i genuinely thought the movie did not deliver. Those idiots constantly kept comparing this movie to the Donner version of Superman(which i honestly found 'OK' at best) which concentrated way too much on the romance between Superman and Lois and the 'apparently lovable' Clark Kent alter ego. As if a person who bears the weight of an entire planet's fate on his shoulders has time for romancing and leading a double life when other beings as powerful as him are trying to kill him and all his loved ones. Some of them even said that this version was too 'dark' and this Superman 'broods' too much, well let me say this,would you be smiling if your home was being destroyed and your family was being threatened in front of you?
Now that i have expressed my frustration over the fools who try to crush new and bolder ideas let me get to the review of this movie. Unlike every other origin movie this one does not bore you with the same old repetition. This movie truly shows how a child would cope up with being treated as an outcast, avoiding making any friends just to keep his identity a secret. It clearly shows his internal anguish when he is faced with the situations where he either has to protect his identity or save lives. The first half of the movie bares open the humanity of Superman. The second half portrays the Kryptonian in him. He has to decide whether to save his world or ours. When you think of Superman the first thing that pops up in your mind are his godlike powers. Zack Snyder has done a great job in this department. I don't think any superman movie including the animated ones have ever shown the true scale of devastation that would take place if a bunch of Super-beings were fighting each other. The action sequences have been made at a grand scale which will truly blow your mind. The way Snyder has imagined the 'super speed' action sequences is praise worthy. Unlike the Superman Universe of the 70's 80's and 90's this is a much more harsher and realistic one that has been made keeping the current and future generations in mind.
On the whole this is not just a movie, this is the beginning of an Epic. 'Man of Steel' finally gave Superman a movie which shows him in his full glory just like the 'Dark Knight Trilogy' for Batman. Trust me this movie will satisfy you to the core.
