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.

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