More From Henry Cavill On MAN OF STEEL And Finally Getting To Be Superman

I hope this movie makes him a star

Why do people care so much about Rotten Tomatoes. MAKE UP YOUR OWN OPINIONS GUYS!!!!!

the reviews if you look at them they do not pan the movie...most of the critiques themselves are laughable..."there is so much action" "the movie ruined ihop for me" "He didnt save 1 cat" "Not enough wit and humor" its kind of riduclous and laughable, But most of the reviews from inside the comic community and even a lot of the the bigger critics have glowing reviews of it, some artsy people who are upset over it not being the 78' movie is fine, thats one of the reasons that Returns got lots of good reviews, it played on that nostalgia for them. This movie is still gonna rock...and Intruder we get it your a troll with stan the mans piece up your a$$ cool thanks go pole jock a marvel article.

Currently MAN OF STEEL rating.....

65% All Critics

53% Top Critics

Uh oh.......

How is Intruder not banned yet? He's clearly trolling. He knows reviews don't mean anything but he keeps bringing it up. Does this website even have moderators?

I don't think most cbm fans would pay much attention to rt
but you do have to wonder about general audiences.
The ones that get swept in with hype and critical acclaim

I still see the film setting a new June record and flirting with 300mill domestically

i simply can't stand it when they start their sentences with ''as an actor..'' like they have to remind us of their profession all the time. we know you're an actor, get over yourself, we're not retards.

Shocked and a bit saddened by the RT scores, but ultimately I'd say ignore them and go enjoy the movie.

This movie is still gonna make serious money and will hopefully open the doors to more DC movie projects, which I personally can't wait to see.

@ Kryptonian

Really you had to go there, you just feed the Troll's ego!!!!

I heard from a friend of mine who has just about the same taste as me in films that Man of Steel was one of the best comicbookmovies he had ever seen. First chance I get I am going to watch it. Critics may get a lot things right, but they also get a lot of things wrong. As always, I will judge the movie for myself but my hopes has not diminished at all! The king has returned to glory!

Lets put this in perspective

The Hobbit Part 1 - which was Epic! RT 65%

MOS - Still not all reviews in - RT 65%

I will judge it on Sunday.

who cares about what critics say, they have done far worse of reviews for very good, and successful movies....but anyway I think a lot of the mix feelings over it have a lot to do with one Zack Snyder's reputation with the critics, and the biggest one is the obvious elephant in the room Marvel's last two movies...this film doesnt follow their model and I'm sure to a lot of critics that is kind of the standard barrier for what they hold up every Super hero film too. Do they have lot of jokes, is it fun and light, and this film obviously isnt full of jokes and a little "cartoony" and I think people arent sure how to take it, hence the mixed feelings...I think this will def be a hindsight film for a lot of them but that's just me.

From slashfilm:
"Man of Steel is simultaneously bigger and smaller than you are expecting. What’s bigger? The action. Super-sizing even The Avengers, Man of Steel has more action set pieces and devastating destruction than you’ve probably ever imagined. It’s jaw-dropping, heart-pumping stuff. What’s smaller? The story. Most of the film takes places in a very condensed, focused timeline, giving it an urgency and immediacy lacking in other superhero films. A smaller narrative raises the stakes as well as the emotional complexity.

Zack Snyder has made an epic and heartfelt adventure that successfully reboots the Superman character in a realistic, and humanistic way.

From the very beginning of Man of Steel, David Goyer‘s script defies expectations. It starts on Krypton with a huge, table-setting opening in the mold of J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek. From there, unlike most traditional tellings of this story, we meet Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) fully grown and out on his own. He’s struggling with his place in the world and trying to hide the true abilities he doesn’t quite understand. As more questions are raised for Clark, the film cuts back to his childhood in Smallville with Ma and Pa Kent, played Diane Lane and Kevin Costner. These scenes ground the movie and provide essential character-building context.

However, in a movie this ambitious and steeped in tradition, the non-linear structure takes some getting used to. The audience is so used to one version of Superman that watching the story told in a different way feels a bit off. The presentation of Lois Lane, played by Amy Adams, is similar. She’s part of Clark’s life right from the story’s opening, which is a deviation from what audiences are used to. And while these two tweaks to the Superman story might feel awkward at first, the reasons become clear — and exceedingly rewarding — as the film moves on.

Any small issues with structure and tone soon go away once the story gets into gear. Man of Steel moves fast, constantly keeping the audience on the edge of their seat once Kal-El learns the truth of his existence and General Zod (Michael Shannon) comes calling. This rapid introduction of the villain into the story, while also dealing with his origins, places Man of Steel into a very specific moment in Superman’s personal history. We’re dealing squarely with the moment Earth realizes aliens exist, yet Snyder doesn’t watch the planet absorbing that idea. There are no extended sequences of man on the street reactions. No outlandish newspaper headlines zipping around on the screen. There’s only the safety of humanity and Kal-El’s decision to help humanity, or not. Anything else could come later.

Instead of a visual representation of humanity’s reaction to Superman, Snyder and Goyer present the issue as a moral dilemma. Can the humans trust an alien to save the Earth? And why would someone who isn’t of this world risk everything to save it? The characters represent multiple points of view to examine these arguments.

The thematic back and forth, while ultimately rewarding, does make for a slightly challenging experience. Normal blockbusters don’t engage us like this. They definitely don’t make us consider, on some level, that a character as hopeful as Superman could be unwanted. Subtextual threads such as these give the film a bit of weight to balance the fantastic action.

And that action is simply incredible. It’s as huge as huge can be. These are Gods, at war with each other, and Earth is their sandbox. Nothing is safe, from vehicles to storefronts to massive skyscrapers. Snyder ups the ante for the kind of scale we expect from a superhero blockbuster.

Then, at the center of it all, is Henry Cavill. This is a true leading man in a role that’s guaranteed to make him a superstar. He doesn’t yet possess the charm of Christopher Reeve, but Reeve’s Clark Kent was a more mature character. Cavill’s Superman is literally right at the beginning of what’s sure to be a long reign as the leader of DC’s heroes. He plays that origin with confidence and a physical presence that’s second to none.

Yes, folks, Man of Steel delivers. It’s a phenomenal film and an even better set up for what we hope is a huge, DC Universe.

Film rating: 8.5 out of 10"

I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!

Who gives a [Frick] about the critics [Frick] Them all after all is your opinion about the film and plus you haven't seen the film yet you just care about the critics opinion just go watch the film they you'll prove them wrong

At the rate the reviews are coming i highly doubt it would have higher rating that superman returns,most of the general audience who have seen the movie are saying is better than superman returns.

People always remember the bad reviews....They want you to read them....its a tactic they use.

If you go on any review site...the amount of fans hating the review in the comments section becomes huge.

Just from the trailers I've seen it looks better than Superman returns. I have been looking forward to it

@Spideyman

I'm happy for you. I just don't want any CB movies to be a classed as comedies. I think the critics want Marvel type of movies, Fun and kiddie!

Well... [frick]
