Movie Reviewers Are CLUELESS

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2013)

I was going into this movie expecting something worse than Superman Returns, something that would make me scream for a sequel to the Brandon Routh/Kevin Spacey debacle that lacked action and was more of a rehash of Superman The Movie than an actual new Superman movie...
Man of Steel went beyond that...beyond the Kryptonite, beyond Lex Luthor, beyond the campy humor we were used to in the Christopher Reeve movies....this was light years above that.
To compare General Zodd in this movie to Terrance Stamp's Zodd would be like comparing Napoleon Dynamite to Xerxes in 300.
Zodd in Man of Steel was exactly as I would think of him...arrogant, out of control, self-centered, hell bent on destroying humanity and anything that stands in his way, even Superman.
One thing to note is the action, it's non-stop for most of the movie, at times a blur as Superman and Zodd are moving so fast humans can't focus long enough for the action.
True, some of the movie moved kind of slow, and some of the flashbacks were drawn out, but they balanced the movie and helped to explain things.
All in all, a superb movie!!! Can't wait for the Blu-Ray!
