Man of Steel (2013) Review:
Upon strong recommendations from friends I went to watch this movie in theater. I have to say I completely enjoyed watching this visually magnificent, stunning and sumptuous movie.
To start off with the story this is not a usual fantasy movie where the super hero appears to save the people from the hassles created by the villains. But the director has tried to present us this plot with connecting humanly reality stuffs like sentiments and a strong historical base for this superhero's evolution.
The movie has got everything to fulfill the expectations created starting from the VFX, Cinematography, stunts, thrill and obviously the strong star cast of the film.
You will witness a complete movie that is a perfect mix of magnificence and brilliance in visual effects. You could easily observe this movie has portions which has a cliché from the movies Independence day, 2012, avatar, Iron Man, Avengers, spider man series and alien series.
The director has given the comic a whole new dimension with all essential ingredients. Making this movie to standout and comparable to the veteran directors James Cameroon and Spielberg movies. Loved the way the story was presented.
Coming to the casting starting from Henry Cavill as Superman has done complete justice to his role. Amy Adams of enchanted fame as the lead heroine has done picture perfect. We can see some of the Hollywood's finest talents like Russel Crowe, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner and Micheal Shannon in Pivotal roles.
Verdict: Fasten your seat belt for an enjoyable and super fast fantasy movie of the year. Watch it in theaters.
