Great Superman Movie

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2013)

This may contain some Spoilers.
I actually saw it twice. The second time had to be in a BIG IMAX Screen in 3D. Man of Steel does an excellent retelling of the Superman origin story and his conflict with the rebel Zod. The action scenes were fantastic. At first I thought the trailers were giving away too much but I was so blown away, I had to see it again in a big screen. I like how the Kal El character is portrayed. Fundamentally he was always a hero, willing to help people, but also had limitations even with his great powers. I actually liked the ending and don't know what people are complaining about. It's always been a theme that he can't save everyone. People seemed to be dying by the hundreds in the last battle scene so although he would prefer not to kill, he did what he had to do. There are some minor inconsistencies but being a science fiction movie, it's understandable.
Although I'm a big fan of Superman, I'm not to fond of the Clark Kent character so I"m glad the movie didn't go into the whole double personality business like Superman Returns. If there is a Clark Kent reporter character, I hope the makers do not make him too wimpy. It seems the whole of Smallville knows by this point who Superman is anyway. At least Lois knows and she won't be known as gallactically stupid:) I hope the next movie doesn't concentrate too much on Lex Luthor. He may oppose Superman, but he's not his ultimate enemy. Supes deserves a super villain, like DarkSeid.
One point that is puzzling about this movie is what was Jor El thinking of doing by embedding the codex in his son? It seems he wanted to revive Kryptonians somewhere. It seems like an alternate story of the Kandorian city stuck in a bottle.
