Man of Steel is not your average Superman movie. It brings in a lot of knuckles and hits you a couple of times straight through the heart.
TRAILER
The film's trailer got mixed reviews, some claiming it ain't enough to increase the viewers' cravings. Nonetheless I think it had just enough mix to set the right expectations for the film. From the looks of it, the trailer tells us that this film will not feature the Superman we are used to. There will be changes, big changes as to the storyline and other stuff.
CAST
Cavill is the right man for the title. No questions on his built, he was clearly ready to portray a steel-like physique. He exceeded expectations with superb acting and that Superman-stare. I wasn't sure at first if Amy Adams can do it, but she did a pretty decent job to play a stronger and fiercer Lois Lane. Michael Shannon may have some overdone tricks but it worked just right for most parts.
EFFECTS
Man of Steel was a roller-coaster ride. CGI played excellently, with every fight scene keeping us from breathing. Though some tracks may be similar to what we heard before from The Dark Knight or Inception, those booming instruments surely helped keep the thrill up.
It won't be surprising if this film will get mixed reviews, but Man of Steel may just be the right stuff to kick off the Justice League. It had the action and the perfect heart pinch to make it one of this year's best Superhero films.
