Snyder brings back Superman franchise into his version

Rating: 7/10 (14 June 2013)

This is a Superman movie that fans are waiting for. 'Man of Steel is one of the most thrilling and coolest movie I've seen this year. The movie opens with loud and promising story about how Kal-El was sent to earth. The plot itself is quite fast though, not what everyone think that it would be long introducing of character like 'Batman Begins' did. 'Man of Steel' tells Clark's childhood by doing flashback that is clear enough for audience. And the last 1 hour action of the movie is just epic. The action scenes really thrill, it makes something that you won't ever forget and miss this summer. Henry Cavill is satisfying as Superman, he's absolutely more fit than Brandon Routh although there's no challenging line for him.
The weakest part of this movie is their plot and storyline. The storyline is silly, predictable, too hurry and just a formality that would guide to a non-stop action climax. Don't expect the storyline would be as complex as Christopher Nolan's Batman cause it's totally not. The other character is also not introduced well especially Lois Lane character that appears too sudden and many coincidences, and Perry White character could be acted by any actors besides Laurence Fishburne. May be Zack Snyder doesn't want to make same mistakes like 'Superman Returns' did. It's rather impossible to focus on storyline while he wants to create a full action movie especially in the first franchise. That's acceptable why most critics hate this movie, it's definitely because of mess storyline that really matters for them. It seems 'Man of Steel' have two sides of audience here. Audience who minds a solid and structured storyline would disappoint of 'Man of Steel'. But, audience who seeks an entertaining and massive action sequences are gonna love it. For me, Zack Synder has succeeded to open a promising franchise from one of the oldest Superhero in history for fans and non-fans with a spectacular and punches action scenes although it's a little bit exhausting in the middle. Hopefully the sequel would focus on a relationship between Superman and Lois Lane which doesn't happen in this movie.
