While many say that this movie followed in the footsteps of Iron Man, Batman Begins, Thor, and others, and had too much action and effects, it interwove the basics of the original comic story along with some liberties to bring the plot into the realm of making the reboot much more inviting and alluring for a hungry crowd looking for a more in-tune man of steel. The portrayal of an exotic Krypton was intriguing, and explanations, while not deep, led audiences along so that the storyline didn't get lost. Critics looked to nitpick at things such as the pterodactyl creature -- overlooking its use in light of the machinery being overtaken -- and come across as seeking points to complain about, rather than review the movie itself. While the action toward the end was overdrawn, where it could have been lessened to allow more character development, it was an effects achievement. Still, it was dizzying, and too many buildings blowing up can become tedious. However, overall, this movie, in my opinion, made the Man of Steel cool and real once again, so bring on the sequels!
Pros well paced, great actors
Cons too many explosion effects in second half
Yes, I recommend this movie.
