Excellent ACTION Movie.

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2013)

Homages were paid to previous reincarnations of superman but make no mistake. This is Man of steel.
Watched this 3 times after release, it was exactly as expected, fun, intense, no just time for silly humor. the built up to the ending fight scene was the best as the villain delivers the most point on insult and his last defiant retort.
Pros: Best Action, Fights are intense as we watch kryptonians duke it out on earth. The destruction felt is riveting as they pummel through buildings and the camera cuts along with them with near and far shots. and was jaw dropping. This is all then accompanied by a soundtrack that flows excellent in the fight scenes.
Costume design and art direction is amazing, its a visual feast and shots of earth's nature was showcased in second long snapshots that are few and far between.
Doesn't treat people that are movie as complete morons who react but instead take proactive steps to resolve the crisis or figure out clues.
Cons:
Dialogue can be very jarring, questionable choices and advice given by Jonathan Kent.
Although a daring touch, showing causalities can be upsetting but it helps the movie convey a more grim tone.
Rebuild scene should have been shown so that the audiences learn that people move on after tragedies.
