Failed Attempt ..! Fell short of Expectation ...!

Rating: 6/10 (13 June 2013)

Snyder, whose best films are 2004's ­adrenalized Dawn of the Dead remake and 2007's hyper­stylized Spartan saga 300, has teamed up with producer Christopher Nolan to give us a cooler, more conflicted Superman. But their Dark Knight-style makeover never quite comes ­together.
The story falls into two halves and sometimes feels at odds with each other in its attempt to connect the two. The first half standing as a origin story heavily rooted in science fiction. We see the final days of a fully realized Krypton, as Jor-El (Russell Crowe) fends off fascist General Zod's (Michael Shannon) rebellion and places the last hope for the Krypton's existence in the hands of his infant son, Kal-El. Once on Earth, the story follows Clark Kent, Earth's surrogate son and would-be superhero Messiah, as he journeys to find the hidden answers to why he was placed on our planet. His childhood is relived through a series of flashbacks triggered by images Clark witnesses around him, which interrupted the movie flow a lot.
The second half is a punch-heavy parade of action as Snyder digs deep into what he knows best, but in this case its a heavy overdose and u feel like punching Snyder. Meanwhile you learn vital things, like what the "S" on the Superman costume stands for.
Redundant, unnecessary and a colossal waste of talent and money, you can pretty much sum up Man of Steel in the scene in which a lady police officer watches with her mouth wide open as Superman tosses aside tanks like Tinker Toys. "What are you smiling about, captain?" asks another cop. "Nothing, sir—I just think he's hot."
Wait For the DVD ..!
