Man of Steel is Zack Snyder's Best Film

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2014)

"Man of Steel" is without a doubt one of Zack Snyder's best film. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy his other movies "300" and "Watchmen," and they are both well made movies. "Sucker Punch," on the other hand, not really. So, why do I consider this movie to be Snyder's best film? Well, I guess you can say that I am more familiar with Superman than any other comic book characters that appeared on film or television. Although, I do prefer Batman because he has always been my personal favorite superhero, but let's not get into that. "Man of Steel" is one of those films that I can watch and never get tired of it. I do enjoy the reinterpretation of Superman for not being dark and realistic, but showing the human side of him. Henry Cavill does a wonderful job for portraying the character on its own than just acting like some of the other actors that had already portray him. Amy Adams, at first, I wasn't sure how she can pull her role off, but as I saw her on screen she really is Lois Lane. I really love how she updated her for not making her a damsel in distress, which is a good thing. Also, I do like that she is able to do something rather than just screaming for Superman to be saved. Nothing much on Michael Shannon's take on General Zod, but I do say that he was really good to play such a villain. The other actors like Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, and Russell Crowe as Jor-El do there jobs well enough. I thought Hans Zimmer's score was brilliant. His score does capture for the film's tone, and doing his own theme besides doing the classic Superman theme by John Williams. I also do like to point out that it is cool to have Christopher Nolan on board as producer after coming his success with "The Dark Knight Trilogy," which they are awesome movies. I will admit that the origin did not need to be told again, but nevertheless, it is really well told on its own. The action in this movie is awesome. Its like "Dragon Ball Z," but even better than that despicable movie "Dragon Ball Evolution." I know there are people out there who don't like this movie as well as the critics. Honestly, I don't care what they have to say. I know is their opinion, but we can agree to disagree. I can defend this movie as much as I want, but I digress. "Man of Steel" is an awesome movie, and I give it a 10 out of 10.
