Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (12 December 2013)

I had been hyped up by friends to see this film, but when i did it didn't live up to its potential. It was backed with great writers, actors ( Michael Shannon being one of my favourites) but the director was a definite issue. Although i enjoy most of Snyder's work (mainly 300), I think his weakest side is his story telling, which Man of Steel relies heavily on. He focuses too much on the aesthetics of the film, neglecting the build up of the story. What really saved this movie from being a disaster for me was that the acting was pretty good. With the overall hype behind this film I just didn't think it lived up to its reputation.
