SUPERMAN: MAN OF STEEL(2013)
Ok, finally watched this movie. Only took a year!! LOL!
Anyway, I had really low expectations for this as it was
hailed as a "re-boot" of the Superman lore! If you are a
Superman affectionado, you will not care for much of
this movie, as, just like the re-boot of Star Trek, it doesn't
just take liberties with the lore, it smashes it to Hell!!
Which is really too bad! As with Star Trek, if they had
stuck to the lore this would be hailed as nearly, if not,
as good as Superman The Movie!! It was basically a
re-telling of the second Superman movie, Superman II.
The story was really good, the acting was good, script
was good, and the music was appropriate! Henry Cavill
was a good choice for Superman/Clark, though will never
make anyone forget Christopher Reeve! Amy Adams
was good as Lois. But there is no Jimmy Olsen! And
no nod to any of the previous incarnations of Superman!
That was disappointing to me! And Perry White
black!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??? Other than that, this really was
a great movie! Just not up to the previous Christopher
Reeve outing! B+
From IMDb.com:
I have never been a hardcore superman fan, but I
was fortunate enough to see an early showing of
Zack Snyder's reboot. And I must say, I am quite
impressed. Casual moviegoers and superhero fans
will find something to enjoy. Man of Steel has great
wreck- everything action that makes full use of 3D
effects and simply looks awesome. The story is decently
paced, and fueled by strong performances by Michael
Shannon and Russell Crow(e). The character Perry
White wasn't used to his full potential, but that's
forgivable. If you're a fan of classic Superman, you
might be disappointed by the fact that this man of
steel is pretty up- tight. He has only two or three
lines that are humorous, making him less charming
then the Christopher Reeve superman. The charm
is replaced by the character development the man
of steel experiences when he must choose between
his past and his future. (that makes for an awesome
showdown, by the way.) To summarize, I give Man
of Steel an 8.6 for it's portrayal of a classic American
hero. - gamerzach7
