Man of Steel

After his home planet is imploding itself, Kal-El is sent to Earth to be free. When the Kent's take him in as their own, Clark now grows up more or less regular life, but with amazing abilities. When his father tells him the world isn't ready for him, and to keep what he is a secret, Clark then leaves home to pursue a life of mystery and secrecy. When alien ships start coming to earth, in the hopes of finding Kal-El, General Zod wants to find him, and possibly kill him. When the world knows of Clark or "Superman" the battle is on between Superman and General Zod, with a super sized fist fight in the middle of Metropolis. Superman must find a way to stop Zod or face the extinction of humans.


This just might be the best Superman film ever made.


The acting was just fantastic, Henry Cavill certainly pulled of Superman in an amazing way. Amy Adams as Lois Lane was great too. Michael Shannon as General Zod was probably the best take on the character since the 70's version. Even the supporting cast was cast perfectly as well.

Story was incredible, so much happened, as well as a very good origin of Clark as a kid, made for a more darker story on a classic character. Also, I left out most the story in the plot since so much happened in the film, almost everything was a spoiler.

CGI was also very, very impressive, I almost believed for a second that a man could fly. Seeing Superman flying/shooting red lasers from his eyes and fighting with Zod, was just incredible watching. Also the destruction of Metropolis looked amazing.

I was a little surprised they didn't have Lex Luthor or even Kryptonite in the film, but seeing as this is just the beginning, I can see them bringing out the green doom, and Lex in future films.

I give, Man of Steel, 9/10
