(How do you get audiences to relate to a dude who can push the moon out of orbit and has the morals of an Eagle Scout?) Man of Steel , producer Christopher Nolan's attempt to give the hero a Dark Knight retrofit, succeeds in giving the character a fresh start, courtesy of both a gargantuan sense of scale, and Henry Cavill's winningly unironic central performance. Devotees of Christopher Reeve's legendary mild-mannered portrayal may find themselves missing the sequences of quiet time from the previous films (the steadily escalating plot spares little time for cats stuck in trees), but this still manages to uphold the gee-whiz qualities that made people buy the comics in the first place. For all of the stunning bangs and gigantic sonic booms, its greatest achievement may be in making Superman's fundamental squareness feel like a virtue again. Nolan and director Zack Snyder ( Watchmen ) have kept the basic elements of the origin story--infant survivor of an alien world comes to Earth, crash lands in Kansas, grows up big and really, really strong--while putting a spin on virtually all of the details. Here, Krypton is depicted as a wonderfully baroque '50s sci-fi menagerie, X-ray vision has some painful flaws, and Lois Lane (Amy Adams) isn't the type of person to be fooled by a pair of glasses. The spirit of reinvention carries over to the cast, with the perfect chemistry of Cavill and Adams aided by admirably serious-minded supporting performances from the likes of Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, and the tremendously intense Michael Shannon, as a super-powered conqueror with his own special motivation for assuming control. (Like most great villains, he doesn't see himself as the bad guy.) Superhero movies have always had a problem knowing when to say when, and Man of Steel doesn't exactly break from tradition in that regard, with a climactic fight scene that eventually turns into a well-staged but numbing series of explosions. (Godzilla would be taken aback by the levels of property damage.) Bumps aside, however, this still stands as a tremendous first step in a new direction, with a final line that suggests even better things may be in store. The canvas finally feels large enough to support the myth. --Andrew Wright Man of Steel (Special Edition) (DVD) Review: Forget the Critics - The Man of Steel Is a Must See!...But You May Want to Skip the Collector's Edition :( - **This review covers both the movie and the actual Man of Steel Collector's Edition Bluray Combo Pack. If you are only interested in my review of the actual Man of Steel Collector's Edition Combo Pack and not the movie itself, you can skip to the bottom.** Personally, I can't stand critics. Screw 'em! If you are a fan of movies, you owe it to yourself to see Man of Steel! Granted I am a huge fan of Superman, but Man of Steel may very well be the best movie I have ever seen! Considering movies like Nolan's "The Dark Knight", Peter Jackson's third installment in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, "Return of the King" and Whedon's "The Avengers" top that list, that's saying a ton! As you can likely tell, I'm an enormous fan of the action/sci-fi/fantasy genre, so your mileage may vary (meaning if those movies don't strike your fancy, you may want to look elsewhere). What Zack Snyder has done with this film is "genius"! This is such a grand movie, yet nothing feels forced or exaggerated. Everything is given to you in exactly the right dosage. You aren't force-fed action like in other summer blockbusters. In Man of Steel, the action feels natural as if it is part of a story being told. Imagine that! The origin story is there, but it isn't too much that it bores you to tears and Snyder goes about it all in precisely the right manner - through flashbacks. This way, you get the gist of how Clark came to be the man he is, without the movie needing to be longer than it has to. All the actors/actresses do a fantastic job in their particular roles and help the movie to do what it is supposed to do: tell a story. While I'm still adjusting to a fair-haired Amy Adams in the role of Lois Lane, I can say that I left the theater content with her performance. She really grew on me by the time it was all said and done. However, both Michael Shannon as Zod and Russell Crowe as Jor-El were very much spot on for me. I was extremely happy with both performances in their respective roles. Growing up as a huge Smallville fan, I was convinced that nobody could do the role of Clark justice after Tom Welling. While Brandon Routh fit the role physically in Superman Returns, he was just too stiff and too much of a Christopher Reeves knockoff to leave me satisfied. I'm not saying Reeves was bad in the role (quite the contrary), I just would have preferred it if Routh had brought something he could call his own to the role. That's where Henry Cavill comes in! The best way I can put his performance is this - he owned the role! You know how it goes. Often times you've seen an actor or actress cast in an iconic role, only to be dissatisfied with the choice after seeing the movie (or perhaps before and after). With Henry Cavill, I can say this, "Henry Cavill is Superman!" The whole time while watching the Man of Steel, I felt as if Cavill was truly an outsider from another planet. And, I mean that in the highest regard! Movies are often about the suspension of disbelief and we as moviegoers sometimes need a little push in the right direction. Cavill's performance did that for me. The fact that the guy looks like he trained day and night nonstop, tells you all you need to know about his dedication to the role. Kudos Henry! The special effects didn't hurt either. As far as cutting-edge special effects go, this movie has it in spades! By far the best special effects I've seen in any movie to date...hands down! Better than Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Matrix, Avatar or any of the Marvel movies, including The Avengers! Words cannot describe them, particularly the Metropolis battle scene! Truly epic! Speaking of battles, the fight between Supes and two notorious Kryptonians (formerly seen in another of the Big Blue Boyscout's movies) was in essence, borderline orgasmic! That battle seen alone was worth the price of the movie's admission!...And Man of Steel still had plenty left in reserve. Let's face it; we don't go to movies about comic book heroes to be bored to death by dialogue. We want action and suspense to go along with a good, relatively fast-paced story. In Man of Steel you get that! It currently is and will be by summer's end, the biggest and best movie you will see this summer. Mark my words! Do yourself a favor and don't walk, run faster than a speeding bullet to see this movie! I promise you, you will not leave disappointed! If you do, then you're either dead or worse, a critic! "Gasp!" --- As for the actual product itself, the Man of Steel Collector's Edition Combo Pack: I'm going to keep this short and sweet! Unless you are a diehard Superman fan and look to collect all things Superman, do yourself a favor and save your money. This product though somewhat (albeit barely) cool, isn't nearly as wonderful as I had hoped. :( Yes, it has all the film related media including both 3D and 2D versions of the film; however, the metal "S" glyph is actually a tin container identical to those that used to carry your lunch around as a kid and nothing more. I was expecting something a bit more "solid" and not a "lunch box" made to hold the movie discs, etc. Had this not been The Man of Steel or had I not been a huge Superman fan, and had I not purchased this product at its cheapest price point offered here on desertcart (which just so happened to be less than $10 over the cost of the regular combo pack), I would be promptly sending this item back for a refund. There's a snowball's chance in Hell that I'd pay anything above $40 for this and certainly not the $50 plus asking price desertcart originally had this listed for. So in summary, keep in mind when purchasing this product that it's nothing more than a "S"-shaped lunch box containing the Bluray materials inside that sit atop a plastic stand. It is NOT as nice as one might expect by looking at the picture alone, that's advertised here. However, once again, the movie itself is fantastic and highly recommended, but you are probably better off saving your money and simply purchasing the regular Man of Steel Combo Pack. Review: From one extreme to the other - There have been numerous opinions about positive and negative points dealing with this film. No movie will ever be perfect and please everyone but I have to applaud Zack Schneider for giving us a new vision of Superman never seen on screen before. When 'Superman Returns' came out in 2006 most fanboys were screaming about having no action in the film. "Superman didn't even throw a punch" was a common critique. Well, WB heard their complaints and made a 180 degree turnaround. As far as I'm concerned, they went from one extreme to the other. I've described this film to others as a rollercoaster ride that rarely stops. It's shocking how much is thrown at you during the course of this story. You will not see a Clark Kent with perfect parents who bake apple pies and have the perfect answers for any questions Clark has. You will not see a completely happy childhood where little Clark has no real cares and worries until his father dies. You will not find a Superman who has all of the answers of exactly what he needs to do to solve a problem. This is a movie where Clark is uncertain who he is and doesn't necessarily want to have his powers and abilities that set him apart from everyone else causing him to be a target by others. He learns how to control his anger with people he would be able to turn into a pretzel if he wanted to. He does not know how to deal with another kryptonian named Zod who wishes to rule planet earth. He just knows he needs to stop him from this alien invasion. There are a few scenes that I believe were inspired partially from the Avengers. When Superman is handcuffed and marched into custody it is almost exactly the kind of shot used when Loki was marched to his cell in the Avengers. Near the end of the film there is an invasion that also takes me back to be Avengers inspired. Is that bad? I would say no. Zack Schneider had a tremendous undertaking to take a hero who was losing interest to Batman and give him a huge comeback while also setting up a DC universe of films at the same time. There were big changes made to Superman's origin story. There are changes in how his father dies. His fortress of solitude is very different than what you imagine in any other Superman film before it. But none of these things take away from the identity of the character of Superman. Only people like me who grew up with the Reeve version may try to compare films like this. Of course, there is an extremely controversial ending. If you don't know what I mean, this is a SPOILER ALERT.... Superman makes the ultimate life or death decision to either allow Zod to continue his mission of death to all humans or stop him. In one pivotal scene he makes the quick decision to break Zod's neck rather than allow him to do any more killing and destruction. Some people were screaming how Superman doesn't kill. They need to realize that Superman has killed before. For goodness sakes, he fought and killed Doomsday in the comics. In Superman II he allows the three Kryptonian villains to fall to their death. In Schneider's world Superman doesn't have the hard and fast rule that you NEVER take a life. He made this decision based on the basis of a killer who cannot be killed. And now he will live with it for the rest of his life. For this Superman, it probably is the origin of the no-kill rule. It's going to be interesting to find out how they deal with this in the next installment. I loved the casting. Russell Crow is a wonderful Jor El. There are also ties to other Superman shows. Diane Lane was in "Hollywoodland" where she played the girlfriend of George Reeves, the actor who portrayed Superman in the 1950s. By the way, I also was very excited to find out Ben Affleck will be Batman in the sequel because he played George Reeves in the previously mentioned movie and donned a Superman costume. Lois Lane Amy Adams was in the first season of Smallville. For me it was just fun to watch these characters who had a Superman connection previously. Was it a perfect film? No. Name one film that is. But it does do justice to the world's first Superhero and tried to find a balance between the darkness of Batman and the opposite brightness of Superman. This movie is not a bright one like the previous films. It is shot in a grittier fashion. For those seeking a Superman film with bright scenes and beautiful colors, you won't find it here. Go back to the Reeve films. But Superman is finally given a story that many fans have been waiting a very long time to see. I think it's a very well done film and I hope you do too. Superman flies high and seems to relate to what happens in today's world. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the sequel in 2015. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Amy Adams, Antje Traue, Ayelet Zurer, Charles Roven, Christopher Meloni, Christopher Nolan, David S.

Superman flies high and seems to relate to what happens in today's world. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the sequel in 2015. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More Impressive the Second Time Around *by S***R on December 16, 2013* I watched MOS in a crowded movie theater the first time. While I enjoyed it the first time there's something to be said for watching it in the privacy of your own home, without someone noisily munching popcorn in the seat next to you and some other jerk sticking his or her knee in the middle of my seat. This time around I was able to fully appreciate the movie as a whole without the added audience noise. If that sounds anti-social, so be it. Henry Cavill was perfect as Clark/Kal-El. The rest of the cast (Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Russell Crow, Michael Shannon and Lawrence Fishburne) were all top notch. I had no problem with the costume change or the redesign of Krypton. Let me be clear, right from the start: I've seen George Reeves, Christopher Reeve, the much maligned Brandon Routh and Tom Welling. I've enjoyed them all, and in poor Brandon Routh's case I know that he wasn't the problem, it was the script. Bryan Singer meant well, but we'd seen that Lex Luthor land grab before. Routh's Superman needed something fresh. I've also watched (and enjoyed) Dean Cain and most of the other incarnations of the man of steel. The main complaint against MOS seems to be that this isn't Christopher Reeve's Superman. Thank goodness. Compared to Cavill's Supes, Reeve's Superman looks dated to me right now. Zack Snyder did an excellent job of updating the character and rebooting the franchise. I have but one complaint against the movie, and I'll address that later on. This is Superman just starting out. He's not smooth or polished, the first time he flies he crashes. His X-ray vision seems to bother him, if not cause outright pain, and Kal-El flinches when someone shoots him. The scenes of him as a child having problems with his senses was spot on. (SPOILER ALERT:) As far as his code against killing, I have to believe that his killing Zod is the reason he came up with that in the first place. I appreciated Snyder's attempts at realism, which is weird considering that this is a superhero movie. I can believe that Pa Kent was worried for his son, that he instilled in him the overwhelming urge to hide what he was and what he could do, because Pa felt the world wasn't ready. As the movie showed, Pa was right. Now, as far as the destruction in Metropolis goes, that makes sense too. I have no doubt that Superman is going to pay a price for that in the sequel. And really, who's gonna believe that aliens show up and there's absolutely no damage to property, and no human deaths? Seems to me you guys who are bitterly complaining about that are hypocrites. You knew this movie had those elements going in. In the quiet of my living room I was able to hear the dialogue properly. For those of you who nitpicked about the action of the end, if you'd stayed quiet you would have heard that even if Zod's ship was destroyed the world engine would continue to terraform, so they had to be hit the same exact time. And how you missed the fact that the only other Phantom Zone engine on earth took out Zod's ship is beyond me. This new Superman didn't have a spare laying around. That's why Kal-El couldn't imprison Zod again. Zod was on a killing rampage, and death was the only way he could be stopped. He made that perfectly clear. This isn't the first time Superman's killed Zod. In the second movie Superman killed a de-powered Zod, and Lois killed Zod's female lieutenant by throwing them down into a bottomless ravine. The scene was so bloodless when I first saw it I didn't know what the heck I was seeing. And to those who claim that by tossing Zod and his compatriots into the abyss Big Blue really put them back into the Phantom Zone, well, that was a scene I must have missed. Now I've heard that there was a deleted scene showing the villains alive and taken into custody, but that wasn't what I saw at the movies. That scene didn't make the final cut, but it was in the DVD version. Bottom line: Kal-El chose humanity. That's amazing to me, because the way that kid was bullied I wouldn't have blamed him if he'd looked at Zod and said, "Okay, I'm in. Earth's gotta go." And this brings me to the only problem I have with MOS: If Lois Lane could find him, don't tell me that the military couldn't either. Remember, Clark saved the kids in that school bus. He was seen doing other heroic things. And I admit at the end I cringed when he told the General he grew up in Kansas. I actually yelled out "Dude, shut up! Don't tell him that!" MOS is not perfect, but then again neither is Joss Whedon's "The Avengers". I enjoyed that one too. If you're expecting Christopher Reeve's Superman you're probably going to hate Man of Steel. To each his/her own. I enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the sequel. ## Frequently Bought Together - Man of Steel (Two-Disc Special Edition DVD) - Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2 Disc) - Zack Snyder’s Justice League (DVD) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/2227854-man-of-steel-two-disc-special-edition-dvd](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/2227854-man-of-steel-two-disc-special-edition-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-10-09*
