Man of Steel is the first of a series of movies starring Henry Cavill as Superman, who grows up and fights General Zod and his minions while capsizing Metropolis. Big explosions, bigger destruction and a cast includes Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Lawrence Fishburne, Russell Crowe and Michael Shannon. Missing the special something that would make this a better film.

Some great performances, but overall bland and joyless, with overlong action scenes to boot.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Clark is on the fishing boat and is about to be "crushed" there is a bundle of rope that is dropped on the deck. The bundle changes from what looks like cut up strands when it drops, to a nice looped up solid piece when the camera cuts to him picking it up.

Clark Kent: My father believed that if the world found out who I really was, they'd reject me... Out of fear. He was convinced that the world wasn't ready. What do you think?

Question: How could Superman kill Zod by breaking his neck? He's from Krypton like Superman so he should also be invulnerable.

Answer: Kryptonians aren't invulnerable. It just takes a lot to hurt one after he has been charged by our yellow sun. There are several beings who are strong enough to break a Kryptonian's bones. Doomsday, Darkseid, etc. Since both are roughly equal in strength on Earth, its no different than one human breaking another's neck.
