     First things first, Man of Steel was awesome, there is not much else for me to say but since this is a review, i'll get on with it.  With a well put together cast, Henry Cavill (Clark Kent/Superman), Lois Lane (Amy Adams) , Jor-El (Russell Crowe) and smaller parts by Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, and Kevin Costner, Zack Snyder has hit the nail on the head.  While Snyder may have had some help from producer Christopher Nolan as we all know from The Dark Knight Trilogy,  the dark feel, as well as dramatics made this film great from beginning to end.

      Born on the planet of Krypton, on the verge of destruction, a baby boy named Kal-El is sent away to planet Earth.  As he grows older, Kal-El/Clark by his human name learns that he is not from planet Earth.  Growing with abilities that  no man on Earth can possibly have, Clark learns that he is not only different but a hero in disguise.  Honing in on what his legacy will become, Clark will do anything to save the planet from destruction.  

     In terms of a reboot of a popular superhero movie, Man of Steel had astounding cinematography, from visuals of space to the darker setting, what more could you ask for.  Special effects in the movie were well put together also,  with explosions to the left and right, cars in the air, and even a tornado, you would think Michael Bay would have been attached to this film in some way.  None the less, we know everyone who is a die hard will have a problem with Superman not having the red spandex on the pants, but who cares, he looked bad ass no matter what way you try to swing it. 


     You do not have to be a superhero fan to enjoy this movie.  You do not even need to know back-story to enjoy this movie.  As you are taken into the early life of Superman, one can only appreciate how well Snyder has brought this film to life.  No question it will become a hit in the box office, so when the film is released, go watch it because you will not be disappointed because a symbol of hope is all you need.
