O Homem de Aço

MAN OF STEEL is one of the best superhero movies ever made-a proper standalone film that doesn't need a prequel or sequel to shine.

As the first movie of the DCEU, it tells the story of DC's greatest superhero: Superman.

The film is tightly written, well-directed, and paced just right. The storyline feels iconic, almost cult-classic in its execution. Zack Snyder reimagines Superman as both a godlike figure and a messiah, and Henry Cavill's performance is nothing short of phenomenal. He is truly irreplaceable in the role.

The action scenes are breathtaking, explosive, and jaw-dropping, supported by flawless CGI and stunning visual effects.

Overall: A brilliant superhero film that redefines Superman for a modern audience. You should definitely check it out.

So we are looking at essentially a remake of Superman (nothing wrong with that). So how does it compare? Favourably.

The original is perhaps a little softer, more romantic and more idyllic whereas the remake is darker, richer and a little more interesting.

2 changes that worked for me, the origin part of the story on Krypton which is much more expansive (creating more of a universe feel, literally) and the extended character of Superman Senior. Brando was the quintessential sci-fi 'head in a bottle' character using him to explain Supe's back story in the original, Crowe's character came full combat ready and I think it added well to the overall story.

Really enjoyable effort that sits well as a representative of the DC universe :)

Look, I love this movie because it's so different than the other superman movies we've had. A lot of people hate on it because it's "too dark" and "superman isn't like that" its like come on now they didn't change the character too drastically...

I try to watch this film once a year, Henry Cavill is my superman. Idgaf what others might say.

Here, eleven years after this movie released, I have changed my mind about this movie. In the last eleven years, we have seen so many others DCEU and MCU superheroe movies, with one would or could connect to the other, making us assume or create some fan theories, about what happened and what will happen next.

For example, I think Infinity War and End Game were the peak MCU, everything after that the storyline kinda made up. While DCEU to be honest never even started. The connection between one another felt forced.

But this movie, can be a standalone movie. No need of sequel or prequel, it's already a great movie about a man.

Every essential you need to he a superhero is fulfilled. The background, the struggle, the realization, principles. Everything. It's a perfect superhero movie.

Initially I rated 7, but now it's a solid 9.

Am I one of the few people who actually love this movie? Man of Steel has beautiful visuals, an amazing cast ensemble, and action scenes to blow you away. The story is better than that awful Superman Returns movie and it's like the actors are doing their best. It's no Wonder Woman or Aquaman, but its a very fun watch and completely unforgettable!!
