First of all, people have not accepted that this is a new modern take of Superman! There is not hardly any flaws to this film. It seems as though people can not forget the Christopher Reeve Superman. The first one is a great film but not perfect. When you compare it by today's standards, there are much better superhero films that have out passed it. People need to accept that this is something much more different. When Superman Returns came out, the critics loved it, but the fans hated it. The fans saw what was wrong with the film. It was too much like what the first Superman movie was. It felt like you were watching the same movie all over again. People were wanting something different. It was time for a change. That is what Man of Steel has brought us.
The second thing is that the critics hate this film and some of the fans do too! They have become more and more nit picky over the years and it has gotten on my nerves! The things they see that is wrong with this movie is Superman does not save everyone. There is way too much destruction. Superman should not have killed General Zod. If any of you have read the comics, then you really should not have any problem with these things! I have read some comics that these things happen in. The writers and film makers wanted to make Superman more vulnerable instead of being the perfect superhero that everyone has always know! The destruction in the film has happened in the comics. So what is the big deal? And Superman killing General Zod should not be a problem either. He had no other options to stop him from killing innocent people! Do you not remember what happened at the end of The Dark Knight? Batman killed Harvey Dent because he was about to kill Gordon's son. It was the same type of situation that Superman was in! They both did not kill the villains in cold blood. They did what they had to do!
The last thing is the fans have been asking for a Superman film like this for a long time! I thought the movie was very touching and dramatic, especially in the first hour of the film! There was also great action. I thought the best performances in this film were from Henry Cavill and Michael Shannon! When I saw Superman fly for the very first time in the movie, it was so epic and fascinating! I also thought the special effects in the film were amazing! The fight sequences were great! All of these things that are in the film, you should like! There was just one small flaw. When the villains were making Earth into more like Krypton, how did General Swanswick know about Krypton? Superman never told them that he was from there when he first met him and the military. But it is just a minor flaw that does not bother me.
Overall this film is amazing and I consider it to be one of the best superhero films of all time. I have now watched it countless times. It is one of my favorites. So why do fans and critics not like this movie?
