I really enjoyed this remake of Superman! I was a little skeptical of seeing this movie since the last remake was horrible but I'm glad I gave it a chance. Some might complain that the movie started out with Superman being born on Krypton. But I think it was a good idea and I think Nolan did this to introduce a new generation of kids like my 7 year old son to the origin of Superman.
I'm glad Nolan didn't go with the often used Lex Luther and/or Kryptonite storyline. I loved how he showed the struggle the Clark Kent had as a child and teenager adjust with his powers and using self control.
All the characters were excellent and well portrayed except Amy Adams who played Lois Lane. She was boring and a horrible choice. Lois Lane's character has always been vibrant, feisty, and independent...and Adams was neither of these things. They should have picked Olivia Wilde, Rachel McAdams, or Emily Blunt---some who would have portrayed Lane better.
Overall, great summer movie!
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

When I was a teenager 35+ years ago, I remember the slogan for "Superman: The Movie" was - You will believe a man can fly - Well I want to say that the slogan for "Man of Steel" should be - You will believe a film can soar - and this film does and more. There are always the naysayers who say, there's no character development, no emotions, loads of plot holes, bad acting, poor writing, too much action...are you serious. No movie is perfect but if we walk into the theater with peaked anticipation like we did as kids, I am almost certain you will experience an entertaining summer super-hero blockbuster. I did and I was very delighted with this new reboot of Superman. Now go have some fun!
Pros great story
Cons may not be suitable for young children

This movie has the potential to be very good, starting with the entire background story of Clark Kent, or "Cal." And I think that was necessary to the Superman series I assume they are planning to make. Hints can be seen throughout the movie, like Lexcorp vehicles, buildings, etc. They just tried to fit too much into the plot, the characters lacked development; especially the love of Lois and Clark. I felt like that came out of nowhere. Special effects were great! There was just a lot of them, and if think if they would have spent more time on making sure the plot flowed nicely rather than how many skyscrapers can come crashing down on top of innocent citizens, this movie would've been in better shape. Nonetheless, Henry Cavill is the epitome of the classic Superman, no actor could've done better. Amy Adams can use a bit of work for Lois, she is a very strong character that must be portrayed by a strong woman. Overall, this movie is entertaining, and will keep viewers engaged until the very end. I'm looking forward to the sequel.
Pros great story
Cons bad development
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Lack of continuity throughout, story had many plot holes, lack of character development and odd choice of cinematography. Seemed to be emphasizing CG explosives more than the story. I'm surprised there were so many problems that went unnoticed in production, should have cut 40% of it and rethink it's editing.
Cons slow, bad story, no character development, visual effect movie
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I don't know where to start!! I didn't know if it was possible to love Superman more but after watching this movie I completely fell in love with him again! We get to see a side of him that hasn't really been explored in other versions which makes us feel for him. We get to understand it wasn't all great for him growing up and even in adulthood life wasn't easy. But then when he sees who he can become and do he really shows it! He shows the world he can save them! Some might not like the action sequence because of how much destruction happens but come on, he has superpowers and his fighting a person with the same abilities. I really enjoyed watching what he could do with his powers!!! Overall an awesome movie. I think everyone should give it a chance and be open minded and SEE it!!!!!!!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Personally, I think the whole Krypton sequence was unnecessary and detracts from the sense of "reality" that the rest of the movie wants to convey. Jor-El explains to his son what's going on anyway on a later sequence, making the whole prologue pointless. Begin in Smallville with a young Clark trying to cope with his powers, focus on that and his later quest for answers, and the rest is fine.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I liked it a lot. It was much darker than i expected, but it did a good job explaining of how Superman grew up and dealing with being different than everyone else. I like it a lot and any fan of Superman or superheros in general would enjoy it.
Pros great story, great actors, focus on origin, very emotional story
Cons too dark at some points

Very well done film. They were able to stay close to the original story and still add a couple things to make it fresh and new for the diehard fans. If I was pressed to pick a negative, it would be with a tiny dialogue/scene having to do with temperature and the effects of that temp on skin/frost-bite. Very nit-picky, I know. The cast was great throughout. Henry Cavill was a perfect choice and he delivered as Superman. Amy Adams balanced the strength/warmth/bull headed-ness of Lois Lane very well and its hard for me to think of any other actress to play Mrs. Lane. I hadn’t followed Michael Shannon in the past, but what a phenomenal job as the villain Zod. This movie may drag for some, but it was perfect for myself, a huge fan of Superman for as long as I can remember. Will be seeing this again and can’t wait for the next film.

Overall this was a very good movie! There were some things that annoyed me however. I've warned you before I am going to spoil some of the movie so avert your eyes now if you don't want to know details!
1) Amy Adams is not a great pick for Louise Lane. Don't get me wrong I LOVE Amy Adams, but she was entirely too timid to play LL, who I see as more of a feisty, independent lady.
2) The love story was very underdeveloped. I'm a girl..... so of course I like love stories. And I was disappointed with this one. It didn't seem like there was any chemistry.
3) Sometimes the acting was a little cheesy. But if you willed yourself you can look past it, and the movie still comes away amazing.
4) Superman's waning strength in certain situations. There are parts in the movie where he seems unstoppably strong. Then there seems to be a less threatening situation and he gets his tail handed to him. It just wasn't always consistent.
5) The Flow. I had issues with being slightly confused during scene transition. When SM turns himself in to the US Gov't he is being interviewed/ interrogated and then very quickly it switches to him and LL outside the compound awaiting Zod. There were a few other scenes like this too.
6) Motion Sickness! I loved the Special Effects! A lot of the time you are flying along with Superman and it's amazing!!! However, after the movie, my friends and I all felt a little sick to our stomachs. But it was WELL WORTH IT.
Honestly, this story line and Spec. Eff. made this movie. You spend a considerable time at the beginning of the movie on Krypton learning the back story. Although there are a lot of questions that you have to wait till the very end of the movie to figure out.
LADIES: If you are only semi-wanting to see this movie there is an incentive of seeing Henry Cavill shirtless! Not to mention you can drool over him the entire movie. Let's just say he is... 'Kinda hot.'
Overall I recommend this movie! Go see it with an open mind!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Actually, my 20 year-old son and I were both a bit disappointed. It felt more like an "alien attack" movie based loosely around the Superman premise, than a Superman movie. During the movie I kept thinking of Independence Day with a little Matrix thrown in. My son said he kept thinking of Halo - because of the uniforms (I thought Avengers). As someone who grew up with superman movies I left the theater feeling very let down. A bad use of a great cast. It began to drag on at the end too.
Pros great actors

Nostalgia is over,MOS is a bold approach to the legend of superman and quite possibly the best superman movie since the original Donner film.many will feel devastated with the changes here,no jimmy olsen,no kryptonite(in a way)no lex luthor no boring love scenes or stupid jokes this is a different film that wants to prove why superman is the prime superhero.henry cavil is simply great playin superman in a Jesus kind of way, finding an understanding his role in life.russel crowe is nothing short of superb because he is fully commited to the role (unlike Brando).impressive action scenes,masteful hand held takes,fast and entertaining story a brilliant score by Hans zimmer makes it a fantastic experience.MOS is not only for comic fans is also for movie lovers and casual movie goers alike.

This adaptation definitely follows the orgins of superman but completely reinvents it. It was a great story and lays a foundation for a franchise that could come out with even better sequels. Cavill is fantastic as superman.
