Man of Steal stole about $40 for tickets and refreshments. A major disappointment. The screenplay was all over the place. Half the movie was made on somebody's laptop in a special effects lab or college dorm room. Very little decent acting. Little time spent of the story to develop characters and relationships. W-a-y too many feet of film spent on showing how layers of doors close on space vehicles that look like deformed vegetables. Superman acts likes he was volunteered for a job he doesn't want but loves the perk of being able to fly so he might as well give it a go. The all-star cast was simply a potpourri of Hollywood heavyweights with the writers struggling to give each his/her the number of scenes and dialogue fitting their stature.
Snyder was too quick to abandon the DC Comic hero and put his own stamp on this. The scenes are dark. Action is so loud, dark, and fast, you really can't see a thing going on. You get a subliminal message that someone died, or something blew up. Even Superman's new uniform is dull and ugly. Apparently, mom sewed it from some alligator hide she found in the infant's capsule.
A guy who used to be able to reverse the rotation of a planet can now barely hold up oil rig structure. He spends half the movie losing fights. Man of Steel is a big disappointment. Lost is the classic charm, romance, and innocence of the original Superman.
Pros great actors
Cons too complex
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Better than good

This movie is better than good. It's very good. It was authentic, and well acted but not over acted. Good pace with good editing and the cinematography is better than average. Considering the genre, I wouldn't lose any sleep giving this flick 5 stars. It's a love story. And they aren't made much better.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
