Before I start my review I would just like say this steelbook looks brilliant, and for a steelbook collector this would look great in your collection. Now for the film, this film is just awesome, I can not believe how good this film was, I have seen many films in my life including all the other superman films, but this film just blew me away, i just thought it was just wonderful and so gripping up to a point I think this is the best superman film, don't get me wrong I love all the other superman films but this just edges it for me.

Oh the 3D is ok, and the 3D depth looks quality but as per normal there is nothing popping of of your screen, but then again the picture quality and sound is truly amazing, and the 5.1 surround sound is up there with Saving Private Ryan.

This version contains 2 blu ray discs and a dvd. The first blu ray and the dvd contain the movie and extras the second blu ray contains the film in maximum movie mode!! This basically means the film plays in the background while actors,crew or the director pop up during the film and talk about certain aspects of the movie that relate to that scene!!! It is full of really fascinating triva and behind the scenes info it also shows behind the scenes footage and a chat with Hans Zimmer...

I actually recommend the US version over the UK as you get this rather fantastic extra and it's on its own disc!!!!!!

This is a great movie, it took it back to the original feel of Superman from years back, whilst making it fresh & New. The story, acting ( superman himself is and looked hot ladies!! ), & graphics used to bring it to the highest standard made this a very entertaining and rememberable
The actor playing superman couldn't have been more fitting for the role, he is just what after all these years and many spin off`s / versions I imagined he should be!

As someone who grew up with the Donner films and holds Superman as his favourite comic book superhero, I am somewhat astounded (and saddened) by some of the very vocal negativity around this film which means that there are probably a lot of people who would love this film but have never given it a chance.
Is it a perfect film? No, of course not, but for me it is the best version of Superman I have ever seen on the big or small screen (and I loved the Bruce Timm animated series).

The soundtrack by Hans Zimmer is excellent if not as memorable as the classic John Williams score and there are some incredible moments throughout the film. Cavill is great in the lead role, unfortunately I am less sure about Amy Adams as she doesn't quite work for me here.

Man of Steel is one of my favourite Comic Book movies of all time, highly recommended. Just don't expect the tongue-in-cheek and somewhat cheesy (but endearing) charm of the Donner films.

As a small child I was told that I (along with my little brother) was going to go to the cinema to see "Superman"! I waited a whole week with excitable anticipation typical of any 7 year old & was truly fit to burst by the time Saturday came. I cannot even begin to describe the disappointment with which I left the cinema a few short hours later. Having never before encountered the concept of "Superman" my 7 year old brain in that week long wait had conjured up a man, that quite frankly, was indeed SUPER!!! Handsome, POWERFUL, awesome, worthy of the name "Super-man"! What my innocent 7 year old eyes saw however was a slightly slimy looking, middle aged, ugly man who, albeit endowed with muscle, didn't seem particularly strong or POWERFUL, more a funny shape, in his Mums leotard & tights! The story wasn't much better & whilst my brother was happy to sit through the seemingly never ending sequels that followed, I considered it a strange & unusual punishment & ended up just hating Superman! In my mind, for the next 37 years Superman was quite literally rubbish! My son convinced me to buy this & it was with almost total regret that I pushed the little button that says "play". Why oh why oh why wasn't this the film I was taken to see when I was 7?? This IS what Superman should have always been! Hansome, likeable, strong, sexy & oh most definitely POWERFUL! When this Superman picks up a car you believe it. This Superman could probably play basketball with the planet Earth & still save 50 orphans before breakfast! This Superman I BELIEVE! The story was awesome & Henry Cavill is utterly brilliant as the likeable Clark & loveable Superman. With an outfit that does indeed look worthy of any hero (& not a bit like he's been in his Mums knicker drawer!) CGI has done what the blue screen never could & created a Super Hero that performs feats wholly deserving of the name & finally, in absolute truth, I cannot wait for the sequel.

This is absolutely horrendous! Awful pile of CGI mud, terrible acting, loud awful music with loud annoying sound effects. I could only handle a few minutes at a time, there is no way I can put myself through the whole film!

Christopher Reeve was beautiful in his role in Superman, but was badly let down by the 70's technology, especially the flying scenes which DID look like he was stationary in front of a playing screen (which he was, except the helicopter scene, the burglar, and other scenes of him taking off and landing by crane-line, and the impressive office flyby impressing the wowing girls), and the daft scene where Superman turns back time only to stop AFTER the second nuclear bomb has exploded. If the original Reeve films had this technology of film-making that we have now, imagine how much better that Superman would have been. How does this film Man Of Steel compare with the original?

WOW! I love the bits when this Superman by Henry Cavill TAKES OFF! All this awesome POWER that Superman should have. He would kneel down, fists on the ground, wait a moment—BOOOOMPHHHH! The flying is far more realistic along with the eye-fire; one thing that caught my eye was the sonic booms and the triangular sonic clouds, only observed when jets fly really fast. You see the awesome strength manifest in his impressive physique, strong abs bulging out (that all or most men desire to have haha).

Here we see Krypton as a far more advanced civilization, using incredible technology, made by metals not even found in the Periodic Table, not the bunch of blind dimwits found in the Reeve version except Brando's Jor-El; “Be reasonable, Jor-El” says one whilst the planet is rocking with tremors, such dumb idiots, not the advanced race they are supposed to be. I was surprised that there is no Lex Luthor nor even any Kryptonite in this version, but does have a far more wicked General Zod, a totally ruthless Faora (who is best described as an unloving bitch, like my ex-manager but far more deadly haha), but no Non.Read more ›
