It had potential and still does!!!

Rating: 6/10 (15 December 2014)

I had high expectations for this film. I was so hoped for it since all the trailers got me so excited. I thought that this new interpretation was going to be the superman reboot that fans need it on par with Chris Nolans Dark Knight trilogy. And when finally saw this film, I was so wrong. Man of Steel to me was a cliché sci-fi disaster flick. It had a lot of potential.
(Positive) The visual effects were AMAZING!!! Music was really good and has the ability to get true emotion out of you. I thought the cast and crew were a great choice but we're the film goes wrong is in the writing in the story.
(Negative) Many of the characters in the film are underdeveloped or bland and you really don't get to know them very well. And I personally think this film ignores the comic book superman for the most part. I understand that this is a different interpretation but what made superman into a hero in the comics was that he cared for humanity. It was the people. Man of Steel misses the point of the character COMPLETELY!!! Throughout the film, superman is reckless in his fighting and doesn't really hesitate to help anyone in danger and while he did on occasion, it wasn't consistent. And I think it's safe to say that Man of Steel finally reaches a point were it gets boring. The fight scenes take a big chunk of the film that drag on and on and on. (This is a long film guys) I was tapping my foot in theaters waiting for it to all end and what made it worse was all the shaking camera mixed with the 3D effects which gave me a headache.
Conclusion: If Man of Steel had been more focused with its characters other then it's fight scenes, then I think it could've been better film. I won't force anyone who like this film to change their opinions since they may find it entertaining, but for me Man of Steel is just one big let down.
To sum it all up, on Supermans world, the "S" stood for hope, but on my world the "S" stands for SUCKS!!!
