So yesterday I was at the cinema with my dad watching Man of Steel. Although I've never liked superman as a superhero (I've always thought that he was quite boring) I thought that it's something I should watch just for the sake of seing it. And well.. It wasn't all that bad. I still don't think superman is an interesting character but the movie was alright. 

 

Some of the problems I had with this movie was first of all the typical love interest in the end. I thought that some scenes were weirdly shot when some people interacted and you couldn't quite tell if they were at the same place or not and it kind of felt like they weren't interacting at all. Unfortunately some scenes also looked too fake. And that's what disappointed me the most. Because our technique when it comes to special effects are quite good now and even a low budget series can hide the green screen quite nicely. In this movie there were some parts where you could tell that the background wasn't the real one and that's sad. 

I also thought that some parts, the acting felt a bit off. 

 

Okay, some good things. The villain was somewhat interesting, most fighting scenes looked incredible, specially with the girl villain that I've forgotten the name of. And we had one final fight between Superman and general Zod that had quite an heartwrenching ending. Though my favourite thing about this film was the mechanics.. more specifically the gravity weapon! The sound it made and how it worked and what it did was just so fascinating and wonderful and I could honestly say that I would probably watch a whole movie with only that machine and what it does. I don't care if it's dangerous and is put there to change the climat so that we humans can't live there anymore, I want one! (I also liked that the first thing my dad did after the film was done was stating that that thing was my favourite part of the movie and I thought "yeah, how did you know?") 

 

All in all, they could've done better.. 4/10
