tabuno:
Man of Steel is probably the only movie I have "reviewed" on this site that I feel is safe from harsh criticism. You can dislike this or that, but in totem, Man of Steel is virtually flawless to me. Criticism is being levelled at it all over the web. That's to be expected. But I think people are not stepping back far enough from the film to see how truly awesome and Epic it is as entertainment.
That's my main point.
Is it violent as hell? Yes.
Is it full of characters that are almost too crazy to believe to be true? Yes.
It's a MOVIE, but it tries to depict what it would be like if we had Super-Humans like Clark Kent and General Zod land on our blue orb.
The emotional resonance is powerful to me- the very human elements give it a grounding amidst all that CGI and sci-fi bombast.
I think it needs to be viewed multiple times to grasp how wonderful it really is.
Thanks for your review too Chris- always great.
