Finally a Superman movie that does him justice. Absolutely loved it! Great story and cast.
Good cast of actors, well written ,lots of action. Loved it
A great action movie. Full of amazing scenes!!! And my Lord, Henry Cavill is the smokiest, hottest and most handsome man ever!!!!!!!Anxiously waiting for part 2!!!!!!
Exactly what Superman fans have been waiting for
We don't care about Superman in this movie because we don't care about Lois, who's so annoying she ruins every scene she's in. If Supes had let her die I swear the entire audience would have stood and applauded.
a great movie, one of the best superman films so far. great action and a sense of who superman is in the modern era, looking forward to the 2nd
This is the best of all the superman movies. Finally they take the time to put come real special effects and to make superman grow in a movie. I for one loved the movie
this movie was not worth seeing . Terrible from beginning to end
with the dark tone of this movie, i don't think it would be too far fetched to team up nolan's batman with this superman.
i don't know.. i liked the first half of the movie. it was an attempt to make superman's story more believable, which is what nolan tries to do in his movies. but the fight back and forth between superman and general zod was painful to watch. The movie served well as a logical introduction to the superman story, an alien being hiding among humans until he is forced out of his shell by some otherworldly threat. There is a christian archetype to the superman character and that was poked at some in this movie, a saviour for mankind. but the fighting in the last half of the movie was a page out of avengers or iron man, and it turned the film to cheese. the portrayal of krypton was amazing, i mus
previews lead you to believe this movie is about character and emotion. Instead you get awe and destruction.
great action and destruction. good cast and performances. however, every attempt to add heart or emotion was rushed and disjointed, filled with shaky-cam-itis! (yes I mean when everyone is standing still...lol)
Henry Cavill embodies Superman beautifully. If you're looking for a lot action and a decent performances - this is the movie for you. If you're looking for a logical storyline and in depth character exploration - you'll be disapointed.
people are ignorant
good
Great Movie why are some ppl there was to much fighting HE SUPERMAN!!!! the the most powerful being on earth and he fight Zod and Faeora and others with his powers he is going to fight them hard the flash backs twhere great i did not want so much back story cause well he bloodly superman we know his story
Great movie, best superhero movie to date. Action scenes were really well done.
Fantastic movie. Action scenes were great. This is the Superman movie we have been waiting for.
good movie!
this was a movie i was expecting more from, im not a big superman fan so i needed more story,still it was very good but not great.i give it a strong 7.5 -10. where do they go from here?the cast was awesome good job.
I wanted to love this movie but much of the casting is off.
Good but not great. Cavill is an okay Superman but Lois and Perry were dreadfully miscast. Best I can give it is 3/5.
Why couldn't they have gotten Natalie Portman to play Lois?
Since I was a kid and saw Christopher Reeves, Superman. I have loved the character, I watched the cartoons, the shows from the fifties, and of course I read the comic. In 2007 I couldn't wait for Superman Returns. And all though most people didn't like the movie. I did, but I also liked it for what it was, a tribute to the previous movies and Christopher Reeves. Tonight I watched Man of Steel, and I can say without a doubt, that this is the Superman I have always wanted to see! This is the movie I have waited for, as a fan of Superman. GO SEE THIS MOVIE! Fan or not it is a great film. Don't pay attention to the haters or the critics or anyone who thinks this is a bad movie. Please t
Critics don't know what they are talking about, this movie is awesome.
Hello folks, remember this is a comic book movie. There are gonna be fights, not just story line. Lets be real, this was an amazing version and I liked the relationship with father and son. Go see this in the theatre
Hands down a great movie. Way better than what the trailer led on it to be. All the actors/actresses with a major role were great. A must see.
By far the best Superman film to date. Henry Cavill IS Superman. Russell Crowe was an amazing Jor-El and I could have watched a full movie based on him and his world of Krypton.
amazing
Enjoyed this interpretation of Superman. I didn't get the whole 'Kryptonian atmosphere' thing as that creates what I think is essentially an easy to make Super-strength sucker...
Isla Fischer should be Lois in the next movie.
meh, i kinda regreted paying 15 dollars for it. wasnt worth that much. wait for it to be on dvd.
I will see this every day for the next month because it's exactly what I've been hoping for in a Superman movie. If you want a slower movie go watch your girlfriends dramas.
do not use another lex luthor movie, like come on, a reboot shouldn't necessarily be a rehash, give us brainaic, darkseid, something new...don't do the wrath of khan mistake of star trek into darkness, oh god please not another real lex-estate movie. this homage crap gotta stop...
It was ok. Amy for lois ok, maybe superman likes older looking women. Fiora was the best kryptonian in the movie, wish there was more time involving her. Oh and they used real estate again, but at least they are stepping up the notches, superman one and two western sea board, superman returns an island continent, man of steel the whole wide world! but they man enough monies to make the sequal, man of real estate next, this time the solar system is up for grabs! hopefully they won't make the star trek reboot mistake an
Way too many boring flashbacks and looong fighting scenes.They could have put half the scenes in the deleted scenes. Movie was way too long and story line was crap. Although he was super hot!!
Worthy of being a Superman movie.. would of been a 5 star rating.. except for the fighting.. was hard to follow at times.. Henry Cavill pulled it off.. still think Christopher Reeves is better but did a great job.. Worth watching !!!!
Other Superman movies were just meh.. no great storyline, nothing. This one, on the other hand had a really interesting storyline, awesome cast, and action! Thats all you need in a movie. 5 stars hands down. Hope there's gonna be a sequel! :D
This is an adult movie for Superman fans. No cartoony cheeseball humour. Yes, it is dark but so is the subject matter. An invincible being having to learn when to harness or unleash his powers is displayed well in this movie. Yes, I agree Lois role should have been recast with someone younger and flashbacks could have been shorter. Action scenes were intense. Good effort for a new take on an old favorite. Hope the second movie rocks like The Dark Knight.
Saw it over the weekend. No doubt it was action packed! I just didn't like how the presented or revealed himself. Lois found out right a way he was Superman it was just way too soon! They could have done it in part 2. I love the action scenes but I just didn't like that it seemed that Metropolis was just in ruins, I mean it was too much for it IMO. Lois was ok, could be better but I think Amy was slightly better than Kate.
The casting was perfect (except for Lois Lane).
Very long movie, i wish they would of cut it down to about 1hr 45min and save the rest for dvd Uncut or something. Less third rate characters and more superman next time around. MORE superman... more.. perry white and jenny olsen are usless character, why spend 10 min on them.
I didn't leave the theater with the "wow" factor...the last movie that made me feel this way was the second dark knight movie and the avengers...I was disappointed. The action was great..but the storyline was not consistent with the comic book...
I loved this movie! The fighting did drag a little towards the end and they could have balanced that out with more character time but what I seriously can't figure out is why in a packed theater I was the only one laughing when they cracked a joke.
The action is amazing but too many plot changes and why is megan fox not lois lane?
I gave this movie 4 stars because it WAS entertaining. Being a big Superman fan, I had to see it right away. I was disappointed with a lot of the film though. I didn't like the flashbacks, and thought the film would have been better with a more linear plot. Althouth there was a lot more shown about Krypton, it wasn't that great and seemed like a very dreary place to live and very violent! I enjoyed both Henry and Amy in their roles, but the rest of the cast was just okay for me. The movie was more violent than needed to be, and I would have enjoyed more story and less special effects!
Is Superman too young or is Lois too old? I can't decide.
Went to see this yesterday but didn't watch the actual film.
Great take on a classic, Action packed and it still had a lot from the old movies theme wise. I just thought the fighting dragged a little too long at the end. Do yourself a favor and avoid DBOX it is actually quite distracting.
Ok for the most part, but didn't care for the elderly Lois Lane.
