MAN OF STEEL - 9/10
What would you expect from this reboot of a yet another comic superstar? From the ages where we have heard the quote 'It's A Bird ... It's A Plane ...It's Superman', to the new avatar of our iconic hero.
DC Comics brings back one of the biggest comic heroes with a BANG! Directed by none other than Zack Snyder - the one who directed '300' - and Produced by the maker of movies like Memento, Inception and Batman Trilogy - Christopher Nolan, you surely wouldn't want to miss this at all. Trust me.
The movie starts off on Krypton, the planet far away from Earth. And the first half hour just gives you the feel of '300'. The dark and hazy atmosphere of Krypton surrounds you completely. Hans Zimmer's musical magic strikes the chord from the start. Russel Crowe as Jor-El, father of our hero portrays the role strongly. He gets his piece of action.
The movie starts taking shape when our hero is discovered by the Kent family on Earth. And then his life's journey begins. The discovery of his identity on Earth, of his people and more importantly... his family. Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) wouldn't have portrayed the role any better than this. And when he suits up with an 'S' and the red cape, you know he is The Superman. What an amazing suit!!
The bad guy, General Zod, portrayed by Michael Shannon, isn't promising enough. Lois Lane, as the damsel in distress, is easily pushed backstage while our mighty hero is on the stage blowing punches on the bad guys.
The first half of the movie has some action and some drama. But the second half is completely stuffed with action. And by action, I mean, totally destructive action. I haven't seen so much destruction in any movie as much as I have seen in this one.
One of the best quality in this movie is that the action scenes are choreographed excellently. The fight scenes are so very well executed that you'll even enjoy Superman getting beaten by the bad guys. There are more punches than kicks. The cinematography is excellent. The camera work is steady. You can see Superman flying everywhere through his point of view.
The screenplay is really good. Specially when Superman is on screen. The one scene that really made my heart beat faster and left me on the edge of the seat was when he pushes himself against the gravity with full force. The power and the energy are shown perfectly on his face. Henry Cavill has taken this hero to the next level.
When you see him thrown into a debris of fallen building, and he comes out without a scratch, you know he is Superman, When you see him punched and banged hard on the ground, and he gives a punch back, you know he is Superman, When you see him kicking ass mid-air, and when he lands smoothly with the girl in his arms, you know he is Superman.
The only missing piece is the humor. But, you wouldn't miss it when you have all the action to look forward to.
I wouldn't listen to any critic's reviews or depend on their views. As a viewer, I loved it and enjoyed the action thoroughly.
A must-watch for all the action fans. Its Superrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
