The Man of Steel - A Review

4 Stars - A Good Start

Faster than a locomotive, able to leap speeding bullets and more powerful than a single bound... or something like that...

Superman is back on the big screen after a good seven years away. This is an attempt to recreate Superman in the modern eye and make him accessible to today's film going audience, and for the most part I'd say it succeeds, though there are a few issues I have with it.

The film has a fairly sombre tone, which works quite well, but sometimes goes a little too far. I'd prefer something a bit more fun from a Superman film. Still the story is decent enough, Superman is given a lot of dignity, the villain is great and the action is, mostly, very good though sometimes it feels like you're just watching CGI.

I Will Chew Scenery!

In short, worth a watch, and worth a sequel, let's see this improve.
