    Saw man of steel in O2 Cineworld. Place was packed. Superscreen had only the front row seats left by the time i went in. We had to leave and ask for next showing because you cant sit that close to a screen. Thats stupid even having seats placed there. So saw a 2D showing instead. Place got packed within 5mins.

    Man of Steel (2013)

    in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)

    Posted · Edited by Omario
    opinion has changed

    So just saw it...in a nutshell i thought it was amazing. 

     

    The performances were all brilliant. I really loved Faora. She whooped superman's ass and look extremely hot doing it. Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe showed their talent and stole the movie with their performances. Great actors. Micheal Shannon was great. I don't see the criticisms of him the people have here in the movie. Amy Adams was good as was Diane Lane. Needs more to work with though. Henry Cavill is Superman now. You can't deny it. He is what will be ingrained in the younger generation now. He was brilliant. 

     

    I liked how they showed his journey to becoming the Clark Kent we will see in the sequel. To me it seemed more an origin movie of Clark Kent rather than superman.  

     

    You had better take your asthma inhaler because the action is BREATHTAKING! The movie had loads of action, like tonnes of it. More than Transformers 3 and definitely more and better than the Avengers action.  It was seriously top notch. To see Superman go all out was something i have been wanting to see all my life and it really hit the spot.  

     

    Effects were great too.

     

    Zod fight at the end was like the best fight i have ever seen. It was miles better than the end Matrix Revolutions fight between Smith and Neo. 

     

    the movie was extremely emotional. Anyone that says otherwise has a serious perception problem. To see Clark remember his childhood was very upsetting and you really felt for him when he said to his dad that couldn't he just keep pretending to be his son. He didn't want to be like this. All his life he has been alone. 

     

    Now there is one gripe that i have that probably hinders my final score slightly. The movie took it self too seriously. I love serious movies, hence my love for the Dark Knight trilogy...BUT even that movie had its laughs....scenes that were memorable. There were some laughs in this movie but more like little giggles rather than laugh out loud moments. The truck scene at the bar was probably the funniest thing in the whole movie. A lot of people laughed then but the rest there were just some giggles here and there. It needs to lighten up slightly. I love serious but there is a limit. I can understand some people not accepting this incarnation of Superman because of this but i don't think it brings the overall quality of the movie down too much. 

     

    As for the scene that got everyone talking...

     

    Spoiler

    As soon as superman snapped Zods neck it sent a shockwave through the audience. You could actually feel the silence in the crowd. it was shocking. The guy next to me nearly jumped and covered his mouth with his hand. It was an extremely well done scene. Supermans regret was displayed spot on. Its just i'm not sure if it was really necessary to do that. They could have had the plot of him sending Zod back to the Phantom Zone with the others and had the final fight done before that. I can see them using this scene in the future hence he will never kill again as this will weigh heavy on his heart.

     

     

    I can see them lightening the sequel up abit with Clark Kent having now joined the Daily Planet. other than that i thought it was a brilliant movie....best action ever for a superhero movie but not better than The Dark Knight Trilogy. i would put it just a bit lower than the Avengers. 

     

    TDK trilogy- 10/10

     

    Avengers - 9/10

     

    Man of Steel 8.5/10

     

     

     

    i went with 4 other friends....one said he believes now that a Superman movie cant be done. He thought it had pacing issues and that it jumped from one scene to the next too quick. His ranking was 6/10

     

    Another said he would have liked it to be light hearted and that the action was non-stop...he wanted a longer rest inbetween fights though he was amazed by the action. It was too serious for his liking. his ranking was 6.5-7/10

     

    The other two agreed with me... and gave it a higher rating of 9/10 and said they loved it and that they will defo watch it again soon.  

     

     

     

     

     

     

    after a few years of thinking, i feel i rated this movie too highly. It is not as bad a some people here think but its not as good as i used to either. I still love the action but yes it does swallow you up a little. 

     

    7.5/10
