Solid Steel movie

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2013)

I had huge expectations about this movie because of the facts such as 1. Christopher nolan being producer 2.trailer and 3.new guy as superman looked pretty good and because of these factors I ran to the cinemas even with cold. Even though I had fear about ZAck Snyder as I didn't like watchmen but his other movies were exceptionally good. The direction was too good with movie clinging onto the present and going back to the past at the appropriate time. Kevin costner was absolute treat as he portrayed father figure very neatly and he provided for most touching scene "By making sign statement to Clark (not to save him and show off his powers in public) just moments before he was sucked into the tornado. I never expected Diane Lane to work up the mother figure, but she too handled it exceptionally good. Cavil's portrayal of SM was absolutely delightful for eyes. Russell crowe even though had glimpses and here left a noticing mark on the movie just with his presence. Zod figure(Shannon) was extremely good. I had to give this movie 8 out of 10 only for the fact that too much exaggeration in part of destruction happened. They demolished entire city to save the people(so how many did actually die). The music part handled by Zimmer's was top notch for the situation and the CGI guys need a loud round of applause. Some critics say HUMORLESS movie, but I say we expected ACTION movie and WE GOT IT. For a superhero movie we don't have to expect HUMOR we expect ACTION, if it's not provided it would have been humor to say we watched action movie without any action at all. And the ending was good Lewis did actually identify Clark, if she couldn't identify Clark just because he wore a specs then it would have been humorous and awkward. All the old characters were given new modes and means which makes me so happy.
