Go and Watch it!!

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2013)

I watched Man of Steel this afternoon and have just created my IMDb account so I can write this review. This review is my personal opinion, I am not a movie critic, I am an ordinary person who loves films. I go to the cinema for the sheer escapism of film and to be entertained.
So the question is ... did this movie entertain me ? My Answer to that question is a 10 Star YES, it most certainly did.
As with the New Star Trek movies, this is a retelling of the Superman Story and it is done in a non-stop, action packed manner. The film is a shade over 2 Hours 20 Minutes and I have to say, it did not seem that long. There are flashbacks to fill in some of the character / plot background and I think this all works very well. All the actors deliver solid performances and I like the new Lois. I actually found the original Lois (Margot Kidder) a little annoying.
The movie looks and sounds fantastic, the action scenes do seem a little frenetic at times, but for me this did not detract from the overall enjoyment of the film.
I haven't seen Iron Man 3, but I have seen some good (in my books) movies this year including Star Trek, Fast 6, Oblivion and Flight, which up until today was the movie of the year for me. However, Man of Steel now takes that honour.
I believe that films are a very personal thing, everyone has their own tastes, likes and dislikes. No matter what you read from professional critics or "Joe Public" at the end of the day only you can decide whether you like a film or not.
However, I believe it is highly likely you will enjoy it too. It is Superman, a different Superman and all the better for being that bit different.
