Superman 'Man of Steel' Getting Incredible Early Reviews, 10 out of 10 (VIDEO)
The latest Superman film, 'Man of Steel' has been seen by many now before the U.S. release and the reviews are coming in with very high marks.
Everyone has their own version of what Superman should look like and be like. Everyone has their own favorite Superman look and movie.
Expectations are high for the newest Superman 'Man of Steel' movie and Jeffery Taylor from movies.com had this to say after watching the movie.
"I'm a huge fan of all versions of Superman and I obviously can't speak for everyone, but I went in with astronomically high hopes and they were still exceeded. It's very rare for me to give any movie a 10 out of 10, but that's exactly how I rate Man of Steel. There are one or two very minor plot holes that might have been fixed with a single line of text, but they're inconsequential. I already can't wait to see it again."
Taylor is a self described Superman fan which some would think this would have him root for the best, but he claims it made him watch with a more critical eye, but still passed his test, giving the movie a 10/10 rating.

To be fair, here is a quote from a less than stellar review from Scott Mendelson at Forbes, "The film lacks the very things we expect from a Superman film, especially one telling his mythic origin. There is no joy, no sense of discovery, no sense of wonder or hope. The film is so plot-heavy that is lacks basic character interaction, leaving only big-scale spectacle which can only be enjoyed if one turns off their moral compass."

This Superman was hyped to be one of the most realistic and yet high action Superman movie yet. Not as dark as the new Batman movies, but still on a more solemn side compared to previous films.

The film is release by Warner Bros. Pictures and directed by Zack Snyder and screenwriter David S. Goyer.
