Man of Steel

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 :)

An epic Superman film one of the best ones that is incredibly well directed by Zack Snyder! Goes from explaining how Clark/Superman gets sent to earth because of his parents to the right amount of character development with Lois Lane and power along with epic action sequences. I've seen a few times even then I really liked it, this adaption deserves plenty of praise all around. The cast is excellent, beautiful cinematography, amazing story, emotions on point, and superb action!

Delivers a visually stunning and emotionally weighty take on Superman's beginnings, with Henry Cavill offering a grounded and powerful portrayal of Clark Kent. The film explores deeper themes like identity, sacrifice, and the burden of power. While the action sequences are intense and spectacular.potrayed a realistic new verse of superman. A More Realistic & Philosophical Take Like What would happen if Superman really existed in our world?

How would humanity respond?

This makes the story feel more grounded and complex than previous iterations. It's a compelling reinvention that set the tone for the DCEU and sparked much conversation about what a modern superhero film should be.

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!!

Feeling like a breath of fresh air, 'Man of Steel' is a noble and sublime effort by director Zack Snyder. With a detailed and well structured first act, the underlying knowledge behind the history and reasoning for the main protagonist is fully defined and understood.

Henry Cavill plays the role perfectly, seeming content in the character. Amy Adams is okay but the film doesn't devote enough attention for us to care about her. Michael Shannon is a fine overactor but is not given good enough dialogue.

The CGI for the most part is some of the best I've ever seen. It's top tier mastery of visual effects and it is incredibly beautiful.

Some minor nitpicks here and there, largely in dialogue, but it is a strong contender for my favourite superhero movie.
