Best Superhero Movie Since Batman Begins?

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2013)

I judge a brilliant film by how many parts in it I would change. I've seen Man of Steel twice, first in Imax 3d and then 2D and can honestly say there is nothing I would change about this film. The only fault was that in 3d at the start of the film the camera work seemed extremely shaky. But that was not a problem in 2d.
This is the perfect Superman film, there's been a lot of crap written about the film which I shall answer as follows:
Too much action: absurd suggestion, this is an action film, there needs to be good clear action and there was plenty of it. The world engine was just spectacular. This is superman and we don't want a repeat of superman returns.
Superman doesn't kill: This complaint is probably from Marvel fans who are clutching at straws to deride the film. Though Superman is not human, no one ever said he was perfect, I think it's totally unrealistic to assume in 2013 we can hold on to such pure values, the man rose from the dead for gods sake, I think we can grant some creative licence. Plus, isn't the satisfaction much greater when we know there is a conclusion and justice, must we always have the villain frozen in ice, deactivated or stranded on some other world only for them to show up in the next film by unfathomable means.
Collateral damage: I have never in my life heard this claim levelled at any other action blockbuster, iron man, avengers, transformers etc, so now superman has to evacuate every building in the city before he can take on the threat! Please stop these amateurish criticisms. What next, his xray vision probably gave the kids cancer, heat vision let out unacceptable levels of carbon emissions.
No humour: again probably Marvel fans. This is the DC universe which has always had a more realistic and grittier edge. It's not a Disney animated film like iron man. We're adults do we need a fast talking comedian to make the film work, it didn't work in stallone's judge dredd. Besides there were a few light touches and that's all that was needed.
Where were the JLA if the world was in danger: they were probably in the same place the avengers were when iron man saved the world, thor saved the world, captain America saved the world, xmen saved the world and so on... in studio development. On the basis of that stupid claim there would never be any solo superhero films because correct me if I'm wrong the world is always in danger in these films.
Lois Lane: I think too much is made of Lois lane, a bit like Alfred the butler. Important characters but let's not lose focus on the main attraction. Superman and Batman would continue perfectly well without these characters. First is the hero, then the villain and last the support characters and love interests. Besides they did hold hands and kiss etc. What is that if not a satisfactory love interest. Surely you don't want Lois having his kid like in Superman returns. Horrible.
Overall there were magnificent performances from everyone especially Henry Cavil himself, easily the hardest superhero to portray because he's so good and wholesome, how can you play that without being dull and boring or parodying the character. He did an amazing job, I loved his scenes with Zod, Lois, Jor el, Pa kent, but especially his mother, very touching, light and sincere.
Michael Shannon gave us a Zod to be proud off.
Finally Zac Snyder - you nailed it sir, please don't listen to the criticism because if you have read the above, most of them have no plausible grounds. It was literally perfect. Don't rush the sequel or the JLA, stick with quality, visuals and the spectacle and you will get the bums on seats.
