O Homem de Aço

This movie was dishonestly mauled by critics and reviewers simply because it was directed by Snyder. Watching this again in 2020, I have to say this will go down as a classic in years to come. It's an absolute blast from start to finish and is one of the most loyal adaptations and faithful to the Superman lore found in DC comics. One of its greatest achievements was the magnificent depiction of Krypton and giving Zod the gravitas and motivation that he lacked in Superman II. You felt empathy for him. Shannon was outstanding in his portrayal of Zod; up there with Ledger's Joker.

I remember people actually complained about the level of destruction in this movie and the excessive use of special effects, but for me this is what makes a Superman movie. Take off your nostalgia tinted glasses and watch this with an open mind. This is the greatest Superman movie bar none.

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.

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.

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.

I was really happy with the origin story aspect of this movie... although I would have liked to see more of Kevin Costner's character. I didn't see this until New Year's Eve 2020 and had heard a lot of comments about the movie... positive land negative. Exceeded my expectations.
