The Superman film I've been waiting to see.

Rating: 8/10 (26 November 2013)

This Review May Contain Spoilers. When I was a little boy, I used to watch the old Superman cartoons. I always felt that Superman was a great character even he's criticized for being so powerful. Then I saw Christopher Reeve's Movie and I was impressed by it although the sequels literally ruined the franchise, then I saw Smallville and I kept watching it until its epic finale, then I watched Superman Returns and I thought Bryan Singer should've kept with the X-Men. Despite my liking for the Live Action versions of the character, I was always frustrated because none of them showed to epic battles that Superman faces in the comics and animation. Luckily when hope was lost and mankind was in need of a miracle, Destiny gave us three: Christopher Nolan, David S. Goyer and of course Zack Snyder!. The three combined their talents and style and created one of the best reboots of all time. Critics complain about the dark tone of the movie, but, Hello! You can't expect to see the same thing when you're watching a reboot! Obviously Man Of Steel is darker, violent and more realistic than any Superman film before. For me the plot is great, The visuals are astounding, the fight scenes are epic and I was absolutely delighted. The acting was good but not great. Henry Cavill was born to play Superman, I was impressed at how he managed to look exactly like the comic book character. Russell Crowe and Kevin Costner are the ones who give the best performances in the movie. I was disappointed with Amy Adams as Lois Lane and Michael Shannon as General Zod, I felt they should've given us stronger performances. Anyway, Man Of Steel is a good movie and despite the harsh reviews that critics gave to this film, still is a good movie. So in order to enjoy Man Of Steel, you just simply have to forget every Superman film or series you've seen. And remember this is not like the Chris Reeve's film. A very criticized scene is the one where Superman kills Zod. I believe that it is a great scene. I mean, the movie puts the question, How can be the real world if Superman existed? And in my opinion the guy had no choice. What else was he going to do? sent him to prison? Also Zod wanted to die because he lost his people, so that's a poetic death. And also people ask why Superman allowed such destruction if he's meant to be so powerful? Hello! It's Superman on day one. And he's not a God, he can't be anywhere at once (at least in this movie, because he was just developing his powers).
Man Of Steel is entertaining, A blockbuster filled with a decent plot and impressive action sequences. I'm looking forward for the sequel, which I hope we can see more of Clark Kent. And also see how it works with you know who.
