One of the best superhero films I've ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2015)

Man Of Steel is the best Superman movie till date. But it is still too early to say whether Henry Cavill is the better Superman or not. Christopher Reeve was a master at playing both Superman and Clark Kent, simply because he was a great actor. But I'm sorry to say that none of the old film hold their own against Man Of Steel. The acting all around is pretty good. The story was complex and well adapted from the comics. The pacing of the movie was also well done. Furthermore, the opening sequence on Krypton really added depth to the story and added depth to the Jor-El character, which was an important factor in making the audience invest in the story itself.
Moving on, This movie actually made Superman, the hero, the star and not the villain. Recently, many of the superhero movies focus on the villain more than the hero (Prime example: Nolanverse Batman trilogy. The only reason those movies worked as well as they did was because of the baddies. TBH Bale's performance deteriorated with each film.).
Last but not least, THE EPIC FIGHT SCENES! This movie literally had the best Superhero fights of all time! The cinematography was spot on. The way the camera focused on every punch and always followed the action till the end, giving us close ups and making us feel each impact, was amazing.
Overall it was a very well made film. One that I watched 5 times in the cinema and countless times at home. Don't get all the unnecessary hate it gets.
