It’s obviously far from being a perfect film. And God…you don’t know how sad that makes me. Truth be told, I had way more fun with Fast & Furious 6, Star Trek Into The Darkness and Oblivion that year than this…even after a second helping. Unfortunately, Man of Steel wasn’t that savior for me. Believe me, I’m the last person who wants to be saying anything bad about this film. There were so many good things going for this feature that I previously mentioned above so why oh why didn’t I like it as much as I wanted to intially? Were my expectations set way too high, almost unbeatable, when I first went into this? Did the wild second half action tromp the fact that the story lacked really disjointed character development, charisma and even good dialogue? Did the fact that Goyer penned this script solo and it didn’t have Nolan’s loving touch bore me on my first watch? Honestly, for me, it was a little bit of all of those things. It’s so sweet and sensational you just have to have it! Zimmer, in my opinion, is the new John Williams in the modern world (although you can never completely replace Williams’ signature masterpieces) and no one knows his craft better than Hans. While I’m sure it’s much to everyone’s surprise that there’s no reference at all to William’s iconic “Superman March,” that’s not necessary a bad thing…it’s a good thing. However, you already knew what you were getting into once you heard or should I said read the word “reboot.” The film stars Henry Cavill ( Immortals) in the titular title role with Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Michael Shannon as General Zod, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Russell Crowe as Jor-El (Superman’s father) and Antje Traue as Faora.Įqually important, if you’re a fan of the Dark Knight trilogy like I am, you’ll be stoked that we’re also in good hands in the score department with the inclusion of Hans Zimmer filling the pretty big shoes of John Williams from the previous films. Now as I mentioned before, Man of Steel is a complete reboot of the Superman film series, which puts a slightly new take on the character’s origin story. I was so confident that we were in good hands here because if Nolan knows one thing…it’s story. I guess you can say he’s the veteran here, but in my eyes, he’s still very much the pupil under Nolan’s uncompromising wits. Snyder was hired on as director back in October of 2010. Goyer that Nolan pitched to the studio around the time that The Dark Knight Rises was wrapping up production. The story behind Man of Steel is actually based upon an idea by David S.

that they had to start production on a Superman movie by 2011 or face the legal wrath that the family could sue for additional royalties from previous films. This is 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray review is made out of steel so treat it accordingly.Īs far as the history books go I assume we can all skip on by past the Siegel’s family threat to Warner Bros. So prepare to soar and be dazzled (because we’re talking about Superman after all). I have explicit faith in Nolan, and therefore I entrusted my faith in Snyder too. If anybody can do it, it’s definitely Nolan.
After all, there’s no doubt that this franchise needs a hero. I thought maybe, just maybe, under the tutelage of King Nolan, Snyder could possibly nail it on the head and get Superman right this time out.
However, then it became known that Christopher Nolan was going to be serving as a producer. So the cat has talent, that much I can’t deny. After all he did do 300 and created one of the most stunning movie intros ever, in my opinion, in Sucker Punch. I have absolutely nothing against the looks and visual style of his films. Then I found out Watchmen’s Zack Snyder was directing the project.
When I first found out they were attempting to go down the road of reinventing, re-branding and rebooting the legendary Superman franchise I just flat out laughed.
