Man of Steel(2013)- Short Movie Review





Plot Summary:
A young boy learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not of this Earth. As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do. But the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind. -- (C) Warner Bros

Movie Specs:
Rating- PG-13
Sex and Nudity- 1/10 (superman topless)
Language- 1/10 (no profanities that I caught. Just talk of killing people)
Violence- 4/10 (fight scenes and apocalyptic-ish mass deaths)
Drugs-0/10
Length- 2hrs 28 mins

Review:
Although a good superhero movie, it fails to deliver something new to the Superman franchise. The beginning of the movie is quite dragging but once the movie picks up its pace, you get hauled into outer space and around earth in a fast paced action sequence.  While the Clark and Lois in this movie lack chemistry, ladies would be satisfied with the typical shy and brooding way Cavill portrayed Superman. Of note are the brilliant special effects and spectacular  "super fight" scenes which make you go "ooooh" and "aaaahh" through the remainder of the film.

Fave Character:
Michael Shannon as General Zod (so wonderously stereotypically bad)

Least Liked Character:
Amy Adams as Lois Lane (not the spit-fire character Lois should be)



Fave Quote:
General Zod: (slowly rising) I was bred a warrior. Where were you trained… A farm?!! (sheds armor and levitates ala “sailormoon” style)

Fave Scene:
Fight scene between Kal-El and two Kryptonian warriors
