This film is a package of action, adventure, thrill and good CGI. Zack definitely did a good job with it and helped people realize that even idols need to be taught to be efficient before inspiring others.We get to experience almost entire life of Clark Kent/Superman in just one film with scenes portraying his doubts over his existence and his foster parents trying their best to help him understand him better for his and their own sake. These were the most important scenes that were done well enough for viewers to feel for a character who otherwise is known to beat Gods! This upbringing to dawning the cape without the infamous out-worn underwear had everything that'd make it lovable, but it does feel a bit rushed in middle. General Zod and his minions did well respectively to show what it means to have sworn to serve to Zod. Michael Shannon and gang do not disappoint at all, they were more than good for their roles and left us all in awe. Fight scenes between Kryptonians was definitely what made this film so special, I can't recall a time when any DC show has been able to capture a Kryptonian's abilities this accurately and well presented. Those chases, those shockwaves, punches and kicks would've definitely made some feel for them even when humans were dying!When the movie takes a radical step of fast-forwarding to introduce the bad guys, it kinda leaves us uneasy due tot the fact that more screen could've been spent for establishing Clark and his alter ego. Lois Lane played by Amy Adams lacked proper character development, in one or the other scene it would seem as if she wasn't feeling the vibe of being Lois. Despite that it's rare for Amy to disappoint and one may accept her as a Lois from different timeline, the DCEU! I personally was waiting to see more of Clark-Lana childhood love chemistry while letting successive films take care of Clark-Lois equation.Overall it's a must watch, a Superman film for 21st century which may not be recreated to this one's standards anytime soon.

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.

Everybody knows when director Nolan makes a film, he makes the movies with another vibe and texture, all his movies feels the same cinematic arctic cool experience in it. Looks frozen cold but in fact it only feel very cool. Very different film maker for such young age

This movie ruined the DC movies for me ever since I seen this terrible movie every time I see a DC movie with the exception of suicide squad and wonder woman the movies that feature Henry Cavill's dark superman ruin the movies for me. I loved the first 2 superman movies with Chris Reeve and returns was ok. I loved Smallville, that the show is better than all the DC movies in recent years. Marvel keeps dominating the box office making thst money and getting good reviews, DC can't do both. Marvel makes great movies DC makes good shows flash , arrow, legends of tomorrow, Supergirl. I like my light superman not a dark and gritty superman this movie kicked up the dark universe, because of this movie the DC universe is dark one of favorite parts of the deadpool 2 tralier was where he said to cable "so dark are you sure you are not from the DC universe?". I like just about every movie better than this the worst comedy's are better than this. I like Meet the Blacks better than this , Spawn, all the FF movies including the 2015 reboot better than this movie, superhero movie with drake Bell. The list can go on there are plenty of movies I like better than this movie. I like all the actors that played Clark kent better than Henry Cavill, I like Chris Reeve, Dean Cain, Tom Welling, Brandon Routh, and Tyler Hoechlin from Supergirl.
