[B]Man of Steel (2013)[/B]

With the recent Superman hype decided to rewatch this Zack Snyder effort. I holds up very well and is a much better movie than I originally thought. First of all, Henry Cavill is Superman. This is perfect casting. He plays it straight with a smile. The rest of the cast is top shelf. The story by Chris Nolan is entertaining and true to the comic. There are a few holes in the plot but they tend to come from the film making.

Snyder tends to the indulgent. The entire Perry While hero section should have cut. And the final showdown between Superman and Zod should have been treated as an anti-climax not the full out epic Zack delivers. It actually detracts from a very satisfying end. I also have to take issue with the sound. The movie is big enough without turning the volume up to eleven to make it dramatic. It would be a better experience if the sound was less extreme on both ends.

That said three stars. Giant spectacular movie making. A lot of fun. I'm surprised how much I enjoyed it.
