Great movie, exceeds expectations.

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2013)

I saw Man of Steel on opening night expecting an average, predictable movie full of nothing but explosions and collapsing buildings, luckily i was proved dead wrong. Superman/Kal-el's character is revealed at the perfect pace. I loved that they used flashbacks spread throughout the film as opposed to a time line, it shows his life without boring you. The casting was borderline perfect, some are saying Amy Adams was an just an okay Lois Lane, but I strongly disagree, she brought the character to life like no other actress could. The only thing i would have changed is her hair, they made it much darker than her normal light red, but I'm just nit- picking. The acting is spot on, as you would expect from this kind of film. The only thing that may be considered a downside, is some parts are rather cheesy, such as *Possible Spoiler* the scene where superman has General Zod and is about to snap his neck, and Zod points his laser eyes at that family who are pressed up against the wall. They could have ducked the beam easily. another small detail was the people tried to outrun the collapsing buildings by running vertically, instead of to the side, but this is to be expected. This film left me more than satisfied, and looking to a very possible sequel. If you are going to see any movie this weekend, see this one.
