Solid return to the cinema

Rating: 8/10 (11 July 2013)

Man of Steel is a great return for Superman. Great in many aspects and particularly in the beginning half where the back-story is explained.
Acting here is good in some parts, bad in others. Everyone except Lois Lane was fine considering this is an interpretation of superman, not a translation. What I thought was unbelievable is Lois Lane and Superman falling for each other. A crush is plausible but Superman is here, there and everywhere. So how can a crush turn into love when he's hardly around Lois to develop anything? Story is also quite good except, again, Lois Lane appearing and going to places she'd never get near. The emotional content around what happens to Krypton is very, very good.
A superhero movie that focuses on emotion, story, spectacle, and enjoyment is what I wanted out of this. It delivers.
