I love the structure of this flick, as we jump from origin to the present day and back and forth. Chris Nolan's sensibilities are all over the narrative. Much like Batman Begin's telling, we are focused on Superman's birth to his present day objective.
The action is top notch. While totally bad ass, exciting and thrilling these sequences are, their purpose is to explore Superman's sensibilities and his willingness to over come all obstacles. This added to the fact of the final battle and end conclusion defines the character further adding complexity.
Performances are solid. The cast is strong. Like Nolan's other productions, he tends to cast strong actor's in all aspects from main to supporting.
This all boils down to director Zach Snyder. I've loved this guy's work since his Dawn of The Dead remake. He has a strong sensibility to reward the audience with both strong character, narrative, production and action.
Man of Steel is a huge success. Much like Batman Begin's, it's a superhero's triumphant return to the buig screen, ready to successfully reappear again in future instalments.
