“Man Of Steel” Review

Today, for Father’s Day, my wife took me out to see a movie, “Man of Steel.”  Now I’m not one who usually goes in to movie reviews but I told a friend I would try this time.

I would have to start by saying I was worried, very worried that the movie would just absolutely suck.  I have been saying that for quite sometime.  I mean I love “Superman” I really do.  Everything from the original movies to “Lois and Clark” and down to the most recent, “Smallville.”  Everything BUT the last movie, “Superman Returns.”

I think, and this is my personal opinion, that movie, “Superman Returns,” was the worst!  I can’t really point out any one specific thing that made it horrible.  I just think it all was horrible.

So with the fear of watching another “Superman Returns” and with all the hype about the movie, I am one who usually runs from hype because my experience never lives up to what has been promised, I was worried.

Man of Steel

So with all that said…Man of Steel was freaking awesome!  I would have to say, again my own personal opinion, one of the best movies I’ve seen in a while.

I loved the way the movie began (I promise I won’t give any details away) and how they showed Clark’s progression into becoming Superman.  In everything I have seen before, I haven’t seen him step into that role in this way.  And for me, I thought it rocked!

If you haven’t seen Man of Steel yet or maybe haven’t even seen a preview, here is just a taste:

Official Man of Steel Trailer

I will say that it’s a longer movie with the running time being 2hrs 23 mins, which I love.  I truly love long movies.  I don’t know why, but if it is a good movie I just don’t want it to end.  And that was the case here.  A great movie that I could still be sitting and watching 6 hours later! lol!

Man of Steel Cast

I think the cast great.  Some I knew and some I didn’t and some were unexpected (I didn’t do a whole lot of research before), but I think, in my “professional” (haha) opinion, that the cast was wonderful.

Which is hard to say with me being such a big Smallville fan.  You know, you get used to seeing certain people fill certain roles.  Or a role being played out a certain way with a certain personality and then to adjust can be hard at times.  But the cast was so fitting I could embrace it easily!

General Thoughts on Man of Steel

Really with me being a preacher and all, I could draw out a lot of take aways from “Man of Steel.” One of the things I love most about all things Superman, is the underlining theme that even though we may be different, we can still do great things.

And that if we all had the same sense of responsibility to one another, like Superman has, we could truly make this world a better place!

With all this being said, and I’m not sure how good this is being my first movie review (you can let me know in the comments), but I would recommend to any and everyone to go see this movie.  Take you kids, your parents, you neighbors, or anyone you can find and go see Man of Steel!
