re: Man of Steel torrent is up

Re-watched for the fourth time. First time in a few months. Improves greatly upon repeated viewings IMO. The emotional heart of the film is one of its strongest aspects. The relationship between Clark and his parents is one of the most beautiful expressions of the Superman mythos and solidifies why Superman is a HERO. Not because he has to be but because he chooses to be- he honors his birth parents and adoptive parents with equal weight and promise. I also noticed many nods to the original Superman 1978 as you watch with a less judgemental eye after a few times. Costner and Lane knocked it out of the park. Cavill brought a true emotional weight, and Amy Adams had just the right tone between ballsy and caring. Great movie. Anyone who said Zod sucked is easily discountable. Not an epic as it had its flaws, but it outclasses anything Marvel has put out IMO.
