Pretty solid summer blockbuster / Do not expect Nolan wit and twist

Rating: 7/10 (11 June 2013)

Just saw a preview (premier) for Man of Steel. As a huge fan of Christopher Nolan, was thrilled to see Syncopy logo at the beginning of the movie. This movie is the beginning of superman saga, kindly showing the world of superman for ones like me who have never came across the superman story. One of the major drawback in this movie is the setup of the character. There are some appealing motives that shapes up the character of Clark Kent (superman) but all stories are juxtaposed, without creating a solid figure as a symbol of justice. However, this movie serves as a great summer blockbuster, with action packed later half of the movie. As a Nolan fanboy, I was expecting more of dark twist, realism, and solid story as his previous work, but have to admit that Nolan has not played a major role in this movie. The story is linear, except for few events that shapes the character. This will make audiences easily get into the story.
Overall, this movie can win the blockbuster war of Summer 2013. However, there could have been an improvement over narration, which leaves bit dissatisfaction. Bottom Line : "Action packed movie that lies somewhere in between Dark Knight trilogy and Iron Man"
