Man of Steel is a new beginning to the superman series. All new, set in present-day Earth! But of course, some old school, traditional features of the DC character are still prominent.
Actually, Man Of Steel is a much darker rendition of the beginning of Superman.
However, this slick dark version does not fully grasp the concept of Superman.
For example: The famous "S" on his suit signifies "hope" which is all good but certain actions that he commits in this film, do not exactly get the message of "hope" across to the audience and kinda renders his 'purpose' mute! You will know what I mean after you've seen it.

To be honest, I love Superman, and I am a huge fan! Even this film with its inconsistencies, still is a great spectacle for the visually apt. The action sequences are just brilliant. No doubt about that. A bit too much CGI...however it did look epic.
Some changes did cause me to be a little 'knit picky' but, this film will begin a flow of new Superman lovers.
As was hoped for by many, Man Of Steel is an impressive mixture of the always amazing Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer, and the brilliantly executed visual effects of
director Zack Snyder. The movie is very much like a “Superman Begins” in terms
of its narrative approach and structure; however, in terms of themes and
tone the film "achieves its own identity as an insightful, reverent and
effectively relatable Superman story. this is a fresh start to present a new
Superman to a modern world – and in that, Man Of Steel ultimately succeeds".

Krypton is shown to be a much more 'sophisticated' planet than Earth. It gives a very good explanation to why Kryptonians don't have super powers on their home planet.
Visually, this is Snyder’s most impressive film yet – and it looks pretty stunning in 3D. Everything from Kryptonian culture and technology to the way Superman’s powers operate looks on point and very believable in a real-world context.
In my opinion this film is a good amalgamation of Superman I and Superman II, which encompasses the story of Superman and his ancestory as well as the Zod aspect of it.
Zach Snyder definitely understands Superman and his core character even though there were some ... slightly modified unnecessary cinematic drama.
Script-wise, the story moves at a nonstop pace and should be wholly familiar to fans of Batman Begins in
terms of structure.

A lengthy
prologue introduces us to the world of Krypton in detailed and
imaginative fashion, before we break into the signature Nolanesque non-linear movie format, covering Clark Kent’s life on Earth,
past and present. The second part goes back to linear character and
plot development, while the third section is classic Snyder at his best! This is a full on "over-the-top, super-powered showdown".
At the same time, Man of Steel is not without some noticeable narrative flaws which I won't delve into.

Similarities between the Dark Knight trilogy do not end as there is an awesome "sneaky" scene in the film that leaves viewers thinking "Will there be a Superman/Batman collaboration".
On the point editing
and speedy camera angles and movement earlier on often comes at the price of effective
narrative development. So if you were one of those people who
were hung up on the question of how Bruce Wayne made it back to Gotham
after escaping prison in Dark Knight Rises, you’ll find similar gaps with Man of Steel.
Luckily, the film makers again impress by casting a highly-talented collection of actors, who help elevate the weaker points of the script.
Henry Cavill as Superman does look like SUPERMAN! A BIG THUMBS UP TO HIM 👍
Amy Adams does do the Lois Lane character justice but by the end she seems to be just another human looking on in the distance...
On the whole, this movie is exactly the type of start this franchise required!
This movie is full of smart storytelling and gives a fresh new insight into Superman!
Man Of Steel does not disappoint BUT some people may feel wanting more! But don't worry... if the Batman franchise is anything to judge by, imperfections
will be corrected and the best is still yet to come with the inevitable Man Of Steel 2.
I give this film 8.5/10 "8.5 out of 10"
Rating: Awesome! Brings Superman back! But with a twist in the tail! Traditional fans may find it slightly 'off book'
