Review of Man of Steel (2013) by Matthew D — 18 Jun 2017

Man Of Steel by Zack Snyder is by far one of the best superhero movies of 2013 as it renews our perspective of superman, giving the audience a more realistic and modernized version. The film is full of metaphors and while some struggle to understand the message behind this story, it is pretty clear to me what the movie is saying.

Snyder's film removes the sugar coating from Reeve's superman and tries to integrate superman into a modern society who have different opinions. I believe the reason why this movie got a 56% rating is because most are used to the innocence of the 70's superman and cannot seem to let go of the past as we head into a new society.

Also this superman is not as Americanized as previous movies which allows a wider audience to relate to the man of steel.
