Man of Steel [Includes Digital Download] (4K Ultra HD Blu-ray)

Best Superman

The quality is excellent (a blu-ray and a 4K disc, both great) and the movie itself is epic, hands down the best superman movie ever made.

Good movie

Vastly underrated Superman film. Adds a new perspective from our favorite super hero.

Man of Steel, the reboot of the Superman franchise, attempts to bring a fresh and modern take on the iconic superhero. While the movie boasts impressive visual effects and action sequences, it falls short in several key areas, leaving viewers with a mediocre and underwhelming experience. Here is a viewpoint review of Man of Steel: Plot and Storytelling: The movie attempts to explore the origins and struggles of Superman, focusing on his journey of self-discovery and acceptance of his role as Earth's savior. However, the storytelling feels disjointed and lacks coherence. The nonlinear narrative jumps between different timelines, making it difficult to fully invest in the characters' development and emotional arcs. Additionally, the plot often feels convoluted and overloaded with unnecessary subplots, hindering the overall pacing of the film. Character Development: While Henry Cavill gives a decent performance as Superman, the character lacks depth and emotional resonance. The film fails to fully delve into Superman's internal conflicts and struggles, leaving the audience disconnected from his journey. Supporting characters, including Lois Lane (Amy Adams) and General Zod (Michael Shannon), are also underdeveloped, with limited screen time and shallow characterizations that make it difficult to truly care about their fates. Action and Visual Effects: Man of Steel excels in its visually stunning action sequences and special effects. The intense battles between Superman and his adversaries are filled with explosive action and impressive displays of power. The use of CGI is well-executed, creating breathtaking visuals that enhance the movie's spectacle. However, the excessive focus on action often overshadows the need for a compelling narrative and character-driven storytelling. Tone and Atmosphere: The movie takes a dark and gritty approach to Superman's story, aiming for a more realistic and grounded tone. While this departure from the traditional portrayal of the character is an interesting concept, it fails to strike the right balance. The movie's somber and serious tone becomes overwhelming, lacking the sense of hope and optimism often associated with Superman. The film's grim atmosphere and lack of levity make it a rather joyless and monotonous experience. Direction and Editing: Director Zack Snyder brings his signature visual style to Man of Steel, but it comes at the cost of narrative coherence. The film suffers from excessive use of slow-motion sequences, quick cuts, and shaky camera work, which can be disorienting and detract from the storytelling. The editing choices make it difficult to follow the action at times, resulting in a disjointed viewing experience. Conclusion: Man of Steel falls short of its potential, delivering a mediocre superhero movie that struggles to balance its visual spectacle with coherent storytelling and character development. While the action sequences and visual effects are impressive, the film lacks emotional depth and a cohesive narrative, leaving viewers disconnected from the characters and their journey. Ultimately, it is a forgettable entry in the Superman franchise that fails to leave a lasting impact.

Mucho acero

Le 4k n'est pas toujours évident.

To do this review properly I thought it necessary to go back the the origins of the "superhero" & the battle between DC (Detective Comics to give it it's full title) & Marvel Comics. If you grew up in an age as I did these were absolute gems to read as a child & it soon became clear you would be making a distinctive choice between which of these titles you preferred (pocket money would only stretch so far in those days). My loyalties fell strictly in the Marvel camp, & still do to a degree, because with Marvel Comics the characters had so much more substance. Eschewing such comic book tropes as secret identities and even costumes at first, having a monster as one of the heroes, and having its characters bicker and complain in what was later called a "superheroes in the real world" approach totally won me over. So let's take a look at Superman's origins. Here was a guy from another planet, he wore a laughable costume (although at the time it was totally acceptable as it was based on the attire of the strong man in a circus), was totally invincible plus super strong (unless you had a small lump of green rock handy), had x-ray/laser vision, could move faster than a speeding bullet, & he could fly!!! Now through a child's eyes this was magnificent but as an adult seemed totally ridiculous, especially his holier then thou image ... change was needed. To be honest I would like to thank all those people who spouted forth such negative comments as if spitting out vile in their reviews because I had absolutely zero expectations before watching this film & I have to say I was totally blown away. I would go as far to say this is the best re-boot of any franchise I have seen to date. Marvel were taking the higher ground with the like of X-Men, Iron Man, etc. & DC were starting to fall desperately behind so what do they do? They take Superman & give him the full Spiderman treatment. He has angst, he gets angry, he doesn't fit in at school, he is unsure if the world will accept him as a hero or a villain, he's adopted & is forced to watch his adoptive father die, & at last he has a costume that is cool!! It absolutely works on every level & I have no idea why people are complaining about there being too much action ... are these the same people who complain about long winded plot build ups meaning we don't get to see enough of our hero in action? I thought the mixture of action, plot, & flashbacks (to fill in the gaps for people unaware of Superman's past but kept thankfully short) were spot on. You have a stellar cast of whom none dissapoint & the choice of the relatively unknown Henry Cavill to take the lead for me was a stroke of genius. He manages to make Superman believable again explaining that it is not an "S" on his chest at all but a symbol from his planet that means hope, he can grow a beard & his hair can get ruffled. If you love films of this genre my advise is plain & simple give it a go ... pay no attention to all the negativity surrounding this movie. I hope you will be as pleasantly surprised as I was.

great job
