June 14th 2013 the day from which "Man of steel" will never again be used to refer to Superman.

Rating: 3/10 (23 June 2013)

SPOILER ALERT!!!! To be honest I've never written a review, but have always referred to IMDb for reviews before I decide to watch a movie, be it in the cinema or on DVD/blur ray etc....etc = other methods of obtaining a movie ;-)
This movie got to me(in the worst way) to the extent that I had to break my silence, I had to step out of the crowd, I had to register with IMDb & I had to say my peace!!
I am a huge IMAX 3d fan & MOS was no exception, but all IMAX did was to magnify or rather highlight the fact that M.O.S is not & never will be Superman!! I mean superman's been around since before many of us were even born....& no one has a right to mess with such a pure concept.
I've walked away from all the superman movies with a good feeling, sometimes I'll just pop in the DVD/BR to re-run certain scenes like when Christopher Reeves first changes into his costume & flies up to grab Lois as she falls from the chopper.
or the scene when superman makes a comeback flying into metropolis after he decides to become human for Lois.
I loved how Clark learns that he can fly in SUPERMAN RETURNS, he falls through the roof & immediately shields himself with his hands to break his fall & he realizes he's floating a few inches above the ground.
Loved how he rescues the plane in Superman returns, his one liners, his humor. I mean they even used a similar plane scene in the finale of SMALLVILLE...
...You can only add to the legend you can't change him.
I love the Superman theme score, & I missed it in MOS
Every super hero movie has some scenes that I like to see again from time to time...like a pick me up!! a scene that u watch and it makes u smile, makes u happy. Scenes that touch the child in you as well as the adult. MOS has none of this.
-why in the world would Clark let his dad die in such a horrible/pathetic way? why deviate from how he dies i.e. a heart attack. or couldn't they have come up with another way?

they had a 143mins & they couldn't show a proper bit about Clark growing up!! growing into his powers rather than those haphazard flashback scenes?!?! no development between Clark & Lois?

-Amy Adams as Lois!!!was there like a shortage of female actresses to choose from!!!! I mean MOS is not a LEAP YEAR!!!
-& in spite of his dad telling him to keep a low profile, Clark seems to be leaving quite a trail of bread crumbs that even a half wit like Lois(I'm referring to Adams's portrayal of her) is able to follow him. she even types out an urban legend piece on him & then leaks it out.....way to go Clark!!! I mean your dad died to maintain your low profile.
-superman can fly into space & zoom around but he spits out blood on ZODs ship?! not even KRYPTONITE invokes such a harsh reaction
-why replace the Fortress of Solitude with a crap ship that can be stolen??
-why kill ZOD? there are so many ways to get rid of a super villain. superman never kills! EVER! he had ZOD in a head lock which meant he had overpowered him, so why not such fly up with ZOD still in his grip?! also he snaps his neck!
ZOD's the same as superman so does that mean this so called MOS's neck can also be snapped? DOOMSDAY you reading this???
here's what the makers thought.....let's make a different superman movie....oh I know!! let's make him darker!!....
Superman is not dark! he's not Batman! I mean what an easy way out rather than trying to be creative!!
I thought the entire cast was good with the exception of Adams as Lois.
To all those who loved this movie....I agree with you! this was a good "Man of steel" movie. this was a good ACTION movie, but it's in no way a SUPER HERO movie! you won't look up to this MOS, there's just nothing there!
They've managed to separate MOS from Superman.
