Didn't expect to be bored

Rating: 4/10 (27 June 2013)

It is strange how an alien life-form that has absolutely no knowledge of the existence of a planet called Earth speaks in contemporary English to facilitate the comprehension of a worldwide audience. 'Man of Steel' bored me to death. It was tough to keep my eyes open as special effects took over the second-half of the movie with repetitive action sequences featuring innumerable fight scenes and collapsing of buildings in a manner that reminded me of none other than 'Michael Bay.' I smiled when the movie came to an end and my mind began to recover from the clamor. Difficult to fathom that 'Christopher Nolan' is associated with this venture. 'Kevin Costner' brought some genuine moments of earthiness to the affair. 'Amy Adams' was good as always, and 'Henry Cavill' shows potential of becoming a credible Superman. Having said that, we still miss 'Christopher Reeve.'
