My Vague-Spoiler Free Review of Man of Steel


So, I saw Man of Steel last night and it wasn't bad, not great, but really good. This is a different take on Superman and his mythos, but in all it was good film.

I haven't done this in a while, but here is my vague, spoiler free review

  • Interesting take of Krypton. It's desert like and filled with weird animals.
  • The look of the Kryptonian council reminded me of John Byrne's work in his version of Superman.
  • The S mean something besides Super.
  • Look for the huge dildos, when you see the film, you will get what I'm talking about.
  • The flashbacks were fine, but kinda all over the place.
  • It seemed that Clark was always running from himself.
  • There were scenes that happened too fast, needed more time to flesh them out.
  • Henry's body is sickening.
  • Lois wasn't weak, but it felt like I didn't know her character.
  • This film was a mash-up of the first 2 original Superman films.
  • No kneeling.
  • This was gritty, folks died.
  • Clark was more Kal-El in this film.
  • There were a couple of DC Comics nods in the movie.
  • Henry does a great Superman, hands down.
  • The battle scenes were a bit much.
  • The city of Metropolis looked like Mars after the big showdown.
  • Superman is very confident in a Wolverine kind of way.
  • I can see how the Justice League film can happen after this movie.
  • And I can see why Superman would need a team.
  • It was nice to see Superman struggle with his morals.
  • Clark had a bunch of random jobs, he was basically in the 47%.
  • I can see more films with Henry as Superman.
Again, it was good, not great. Not Avengers, but better than Batman Begins. I do recommend this movie.

  1. What do you mean by "sickening"? Is it his butt?

  2. Great review Viktor. Not the best superhero movie in recent memory, but a fine addition to the genre that’s either hit, or completely miss.
