Redefines The Meaning of The Word "Epic"

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2013)

Man of Steel, one of the most anticipated movies of the summer ends up being one of the most memorable and above all entertaining visits to the theater you'll have this year. Critics bash the film for it's generic special effects but it ends up being able to co-exist with the characters and gives your eyes an amazing treat once the action starts. The script does not contain as many laughs as you would expect from a Marvel film(there are still a few chuckles to be had) it focuses on the plot which is a positive thing, and where it fails in comedy, it makes up for in action. This film seemed to be able to out-do it's DC predecessor, The Dark Knight Rises, in intensity due to the fact of the genius Hans Zimmer whose score was able to completely embody every single scene with different tones, from triumphant to depressing. The fight scenes were as fresh as can be, with inventive choreography and cinematographic wise, the old stylish look highlighted every single detail. Emotions flare up not only to the characters but also to the audience, it's able to reflect the mood. There was no flaw in the performances but will still most likely not be awarded any Oscars. The franchise has taken a turn for the better, there is not one second you will be bored and with over an hour of all action the story and the stunts will be able to off-set. For a first time Non-American Superman, Henry Cavill is able to bring justice not only to Earth but to the Superman franchise itself.
