COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Almost...but not quite submitted by DBJC on June 14, 2014, 8:40pm I was a bit anxious to see this movie when I heard that another Superman movie was coming out. 21st century Superman movies haven't been going on the right road...and Man of Steel is a shaky one. It started off with action, which was a bit too long for a beginning of a movie. Then, it kept going back and forth between Clark's childhood and adulthood, which was confusing at first. Well, what happened is that it tried to skip his childhood without skipping his childhood. What do I recommend? DO NOT WATCH SMALLVILLE BEFORE WATCHING THIS MOVIE. It will seem very rushed. Because it kind of is. I think that Snyder could have done a better job balancing character development and action because they were imbalanced. At one point I found myself bored with the action. Also, the romance between Superman and Lois was kind of...awkward. I mean, not the acting, but how their romance developed. It seemed nonexistent and then POW! KISS. But, the cinematography was good, Superman wasn't wearing underwear, the music was great, and the acting wasn't sub par. Henry Cavill nailed his American accent (yes, he's British). His cape was awesome. Also the way that he was hovering was so...glorious. BUT the movie still could've been better. 3/5. Would I recommend? Eh. It was better in the cinemas. At least watch it before the sequel comes out. Oh yes, there's going to be a sequel. Which is basically a Justice League movie.

Enjoyed submitted by srclark734 on July 9, 2014, 3:20pm Not my favorite but I liked it

Pretty good submitted by Gabriela Valderrama on August 31, 2014, 3:39pm I went to see this with my older cousins (who are boys so they obviously knew more about Superman than I did) and I definitely enjoyed it. A little loud, but good. Amy Adams' acting was phenomenal.

Super Failure submitted by KidBlue on April 4, 2016, 4:11am The film was badly conceived, badly plotted, badly written, badly filmed, badly acted and terribly miscast. The worst part? It varies between the constant washed out color of the film and Cavill's "acting," in which he basically walks through the film without ever expressing an emotion. This lack of emotion infects everyone in the film, even Martha and Jonathon Kent. Terrible film.

Pretty good submitted by ishhewitt on July 10, 2016, 1:58pm I keep hearing this veers from the superman cannon, but if you're not picky about that, it's a good action film. I'd recommend.

Superman submitted by SolaireFQ on August 27, 2016, 1:46pm Better than the previous Superman movie.

Great submitted by leenajong on July 6, 2017, 9:31am Quite good. There's a good combination of action and drama.

Like it submitted by yenkong on July 6, 2017, 10:00am One of my favorite superman films.

liked it! submitted by VanCancue on June 20, 2018, 7:35pm it was nice to see that the new actor fit the role well. Loved Faora-ul!

A solid B submitted by mandevil on November 3, 2018, 1:30pm Enjoyable to a point. Got a little overdone with the voilence so a bit boring at the end. The backstory with the parents of Superman added some interesting information.

I like this version submitted by Xris on January 18, 2021, 4:24pm I like how they did the backstory, of how he lived his life before becoming the Clark Kent at the Daily Planet, where he wasn't hiding who he was from Lois Lane. And the CGI for his homeworld was also great. On to Batman vs. Superman...
