Supey is back fellas!

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2013)

(SPOILERS!!..kinda, but still take caution!) This is my first review on IMDb, and let me say, it had to be of this amazing movie called Man of Steel. We all know the story about our red-caped, S-bearing hero. So why would we ever want to watch another boring old origin story that pretty well tells us the same thing? Thats where things change. This is no everyday origin movie. Having watched this last night, all I have to say is that this movie was just filled to the brim with pure awesome. Lets break this down a little.
Action (10/10)- Zack Snyder has done it again. This movie here is the definition of action. Whether its Superman taking flight, blowing up giant spaceships, or ramming Zod through the multiple buildings of Metropolis city, its all spectacular to see. The fight scenes were crazy intense and smart, having you on the edge of your seat at all times. Heck, I had goosebumps through the most of it, cheering him on: "Go, Supey, Go!"
Acting (9/10)- Henry Cavill was a wonderful pick for Superman. From childhood to manhood, we see his struggles between trying to keep his powerful secret away from others and his need to help others. Although this is not the liberator-of-felines-from-trees kind of Superman, we get a more different look at the character with a touch of humanity, which however tackles against his alien heritage later on. Michael Shannon as the nefarious General Zod was the highlight for me in this movie. Unlike Superman II's "Kneel!" crazy kind of villain, we see he has more of a purpose related to his actions. A soldier taught to protect his own world and people, plans on bringing Krypton back by using Earth as a new base for his people to flourish by every means necessary. Him with his motives to create a new world for the Kryptonians clash with Supermans motives to protect the humans he grown up with, therefore causing the most epic of all final showdowns to take place. The other actors did well with their roles as Jor-el, Jonathan Kent, and Lois Lane too.
Music (10/10)- Wow! Hans Zimmer created a beautiful soundtrack for this movie. Some moments its simple quiet piano while later it may build up into a full, epic orchestra. It made the scenes just that much more powerful and emotional. Hands down, great music.
Now, with comic book movies today, there has been a mix of criticisms about how some characters do not stick to their original roots. But hey, after 50-70 years of comics, T.V shows, and so forth, a certain idea may become bland. Sometimes we need a little change. And Man of Steel did this perfectly. Packed with heart-stopping action, deep emotions and a wonderful reinvention of the Superman story, this movie has it all. If you are a Super-fan old or new, I'd say go check this out. Its a movie you would not want to miss this summer, because you may not get that divine chance again.
