Man of Steel

Feeling like a breath of fresh air, 'Man of Steel' is a noble and sublime effort by director Zack Snyder. With a detailed and well structured first act, the underlying knowledge behind the history and reasoning for the main protagonist is fully defined and understood.

Henry Cavill plays the role perfectly, seeming content in the character. Amy Adams is okay but the film doesn't devote enough attention for us to care about her. Michael Shannon is a fine overactor but is not given good enough dialogue.

The CGI for the most part is some of the best I've ever seen. It's top tier mastery of visual effects and it is incredibly beautiful.

Some minor nitpicks here and there, largely in dialogue, but it is a strong contender for my favourite superhero movie.
