Superman for a new generation! Good stuff!

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2013)

I really liked Man of Steel! It was a fresh take on the story of Superman, with strong performances from all the actors and a less campy story. Visual and sound effects were outstanding and new soundtrack was definitely in order. (note: I am a fan of John Williams' score, but a new scope on the origin of Superman required something completely different).
Don't get me wrong, I loved Superman: The Movie. But as we saw with Superman Returns a few years ago, that concept is a bit outdated for a 21st century audience. This movie is a complete thrill ride.
Performances are great: Henry Cavill really deliver's as the last son of Krypton, you can feel the inner struggle that the character goes through. Russell Crowe Kevin Costner and completely embrace the essence of both their characters as the true mentors of Clark/Kal- El. Diane Lane does an excellent Martha Kent and I really enjoyed Amy Addams as the new gutsy and go-getting Lois Lane (no more damsel in distress). Zod is excellently portrayed by Michael Shannon, a solid performance.
Go see it, you'll be glad you did! I recommend 2D
