Outstanding and a great start to something special

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2013)

Man of Steel delivers. Don't trust the critics. Those critics who shot this movie down must have been watching another version that a packed movie theater in Leeds was watching where loud claps and screams of joy poured out.
I have read some critic reviews - some are just wanting to speak negative only while completely neglecting the positives. The 70's are now gone....so are the red pants! Its best to leave the Christopher Reeve movies in the past. They can never be replicated and its best to view this film as its own entity. Something that critics cant seem to expect
Action scenes like never been done before. Huge scale and intensive battle scenes. The cast was superb and there was great chemistry between Lois and Clark. The pace, characters and direction of the film are VERY different to the previous versions of superman (Reeves). Change to such an icon is bound to have a mixed response from critics and fans. There was some funny moments (the bar scene) and a little quirkiness but not too much to kill the tone of the film. In time audiences will embrace this movie as the best comic book film of recent times - by far the most entertaining film of the past few years
It will be hard for anyone to ever play a superhero bad guy as good as Heath Ledger did as Joker, but let me tell you, Michael Shannon was brilliant. As was the girl that played Faora very menacing.
The story was just right - not too complex for young kids to understand all the while keeping things entertaining and interesting. The 2 and a half hour running time will fly by
And, yes, there's sweet chemistry between Cavill and Adams also some emotion but not too much to take the pace away.
Overall I recommend this movie for all movie goers - you will get a fresh, new and modern superman...completely different to all the previous versions. This is superman for 2013!!!! Excellent
