This movie totally redefined superman; perfect way to kick start things for the kryptonian. Shows his struggle as a young lad to fit in the world and the ability to master his power with tolerance. Zack Snyder nailed it and perfect cast selection.

The movie in total was boring. There were some interesting scenes but for the most part the tone was too serious and uneven, the characters were boring and to some extent unlikable. I don't think a lot of detail was put in parts of Clark Kent's life. I also don't think a lot of emotion was put into the acting. The actions scenes were great but even they don't save the movie from its stupidity. One scene that may piss off some fans is the scene where Superman is forced to snap Zod's neck. Personally that doesn't bother me as Superman did what he had to do. In conclusion, the movie was boring and it's nothing short of wasted talent.

MAN OF STEEL is an outstanding superhero film. Loaded with loads of exhilarating, never-seen-before action, spectacular visual effects and a well-written screenplay, this action adventure holds a lot of strength and is a complete entertainer for all ages.Henry Cavill is just so perfect and fit to play Superman that I need not to say how great his performance is. Zack Snyder undoubtedly did a great job with this film.First of all, MAN OF STEEL is a completely entertaining film with a fast pace and no boring moments. It moves so well that time passes by and you fail to realize it. By the time it ends, you're not left wanting for more but completely satisfied with what the film offered. It was so compelling that after I finished watching it, I rewinded the DVD to watch the climax fight sequence once again. It was that great!Coming to the technical aspects, this film is a pure gem. Be it the splendid visual effects or the fantastic cinematography or the heart-stopping action, the film doesn't disappoint on any front. This time I was really amazed to find that every action sequence was new, energetic, fast paced and flawless. Not a single action block lets you down. Nothing in this film ever, ever feels missing or incomplete. Another round of applause to the editors who have brilliantly cut it at a great duration.Don't watch it with the mindset of a critic. This is an entertaining, fun action movie, and is indeed a complete blockbuster at that. I'll strongly recommend you to watch MAN OF STEEL.

Style over substance is what critics have said about Zach Snyder's storytelling. In Man of Steel, this simply isn't the case; through a powerful narrative, stunning visuals, intense and creative action, and a beautiful score, Zach Snyder renders a Superman film that asks the realistic questions of how humanity would react to an alien living on Earth while setting up a villain whose intentions are set in his loyalty to his people. The film is not without plot holes and problems, but the critic hatred towards this film is absolutely unwarranted. Perhaps many of the people who dislike this movie simply cannot tolerate a unique take on Kal, one more grounded in reality than ever before. Henry Cavill proves himself to be the perfect Superman, and Michael Shannon gives a certain vibe to General Zod that no other actor could bring. Together, the cast and crew of the film have brought us the greatest rendition of Superman on the big screen: one that will probably never be surpassed.
