  • Brilliant cat and mouse game between four characters

    Before going into the movie, there were multiple issues for the writers and Zack Snyder to contend with. First, the large-scale destruction in MoS (an inconsequential issue raised by some people). Second, the attempt in bringing a fresh outlook to Batman, without redoing the whole origin story again. Third, the need to setup a proper pathway to the justice league movies. I think they addressed all these issues along with a riveting story-line, at least till the last 30 minutes where it became slightly predictable. This is probably Snyder's best work since Watchmen. The allegiance to comic book style storytelling was very much apparent. The story made sense and it did not appear to be rushed. This movie will be loved by DC comics readers. The character of Lex Luthor has been written very well particularly. The story is basically a cat and mouse game between four characters - Batman, Superman, Lex and Wonder Woman. Cinematography is top-notch with perfect lighting and good use of camera angles. The background score deserves special credit. The new themes of Batman, Lex and Wonder Woman are outstanding. Batman theme accurately shows the transition of mood from despair to rage. Superman's character in this movie is something similar to how Batman was treated in Nolan's Dark Knight. The character was made to suffer, repent and stay grim all through the movie. But, the characterization made sense in the overall context of the movie. I hope WB make more movies for the DCEU. Overall, this was a near- perfect movie for me. Certainly, the best comic book adaptation in recent times.

  • Should have been an indie movie

    Wally Pfister's first attempt at direction could have been with a much safer and simpler story but he took a risk with a subject such as Singularity and AI. So many things in the movie appear dumbed down to suit audience of a commercial movie. The movie is filled with many plot holes. This one should have been an indie movie. However, it does kindle your imagination and raises some similarities with concepts from Vedanta on how matter gets created and how each entity has an intelligence of its own but not necessarily aware of it. Wonder what inspired Wally to make this movie. This movie warrants a one time watch for the complex concepts that have been dealt with, although unconvincingly! Awaiting Wally's next release.

  • Fast paced action and visually appealing

    I have been a fan of Zack Snyder's work and when I heard he would be filling the director's shoes for Superman, I was excited. Man of Steel works at many levels. A solid story that starts from Krypton and ends at our world. One is made to feel like a Kryptonian more than a Earthling and the screenplay is very natural. I felt that the pacing was quite good and there was never a dull moment. The action is thick and realistic and you can expect a lot of destruction and havoc, but still befitting for a Superman movie. The casting was apt and Henry Cavill and Russel Crowe are the standouts but I will credit Zack for this movie's success and I hope WB persist with him for the sequel.
