Was the writer of this review paid by the parenthetical? ("dude, please" indeed.)
I love it how anyone who sits back to judge the movie rather than enjoy it tends to forget what superman is. It's a movie based on a COMIC BOOK franchise not an academy award forerunner. This movie WAS the epitome of what a comic book movie should be. There was no reason to "kneel before Zod," because Zod was krypton's warrior, a defender of sorts. He was not some power hungry dictator.
Man of steel 8 of out 10.
What, no "Kneel Before Zod?" I'll wait until this comes out on Pirate Bay.
Re: “Man of Steel is a hollowed-out Superman”
So many super hero movies, so little distinction.
