Man of Steel is
supreme, genre-busting entertainment, a blockbuster with a brain and a heart as
well as outstanding special effects, that’s both epic in scope yet intimate in
the fine details. Featuring
mind-boggling action scenes that have seemingly been ripped from a youngster’s
vividly playful and destructive imagination, Man of Steel also pauses for the contemplative and serene (at times
it’s as if Malick is ghost-directing), and benefits immensely from an
exceptional cast of veteran actors, while Henry Cavill carves out a modern, powerful,
and extremely appealing take on the duality of Clark Kent/Superman. Visually dynamic in ways that few superhero
movies have ever been, rich in tradition yet never slavishly faithful to what’s
come before, and exciting to ponder in the larger scope of the D.C. comic book
movie universe, Snyder, Nolan, and Goyer have considerably upped the ante when
it comes to this sort of filmmaking. The
bottom line is this – they all made the Superman movie I’ve been waiting my
entire life to see on the big screen.
