And some people say critics are always right?.. Really?..

Rating: Null/10 (18 June 2013)

OK, first of all I am a huge Superman fan, I have the whole series of Smallville, I have the watched the movies and even read a comic book or two, therefore I would like to think I know a thing or two in terms of what I am expecting out of a Superman movie and having taken all that into consideration.. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, if not loved it. Critics are saying there is no comical aspects towards Mr. Cavill's version of Superman, or the fact that there is no automatic connection between Clark and Lois.. Are you serious?.. The reason that Clark and Lois didn't have an instant connection is because she tried to expose him to the world not knowing the hardships the abilities had caused Clark.. I wouldn't to over joyed either if some nosey reporter came barging into life that I have tried to keep secret all of my life.. Another criticism is the last 45 minutes of relentless Michael Bay styled action.. Don't compare this piece of work to Michael Bay's please.. That's like saying dog crap taste's as good as vanilla ice cream.. The action is intense yes, however it is amazing. The Avengers had just as much action set pieces throughout the movie, however Snyder wanted to leave it until the end to have massive conclusion to a great movie..
Speaking of Snyder if you didn't know he directed the movie before proceeding to the movie you will come out saying 'That is Snyder's artwork' there is a number of key scenes that give off some of Snyder's prime attributes used in his previous movies, one particular scene is when Zod is deciphering his plans to Superman, and the shot cuts to Clark standing on thousands of dead skulls with what seems like a dome of destructive energy behind him and it reminded me of the scene out of Watchmen when Nite Owl and Silk Spectre II are on a deserted planet and an atomic explosion occurs behind them.. If you have seen the movie then you know what i'm on about, if not then.. your loss.
Anyway's back to Man of Steel, there are a lot of emotional scenes throughout this movie that critics clearly don't feel justify the pain and grief Clark went through as a kid at times due to his naivety in terms of his powers.. Rubbish! The movie shows true emotional scenes to allow the viewer understand the pain Clark has gone through in his life in terms of keeping his abilities secret.
The critics have got it wrong this time in my opinion, not only is this movie a great Superman movie, but a great movie. I don't know maybe it's just the fan boy in me, yes there are a few flaws as there are in all movies, but they no where near outweigh the greatness of this movie. The reason I believe that a lot of critics aren't fans of this movie is because the expectations circulating around this movie were humongous,and rightly so, therefore they had their own thoughts of what the movie would be like and when it turned out to be a movie made for the fans of the franchise rather than pleasing the critic they didn't warm up to it.
Overall I suggest you see the movie for yourself rather than looking at critic's reviews of the movie, sit back with a bag of popcorn and enjoy this summer blockbuster.
