Man of Steel Review (Spoilers)

First off I don't like Superman simply because I feel his way to God-like and not really relatable but, Man of Steel showed me a Superman that I like. During the beginning the slow moving with Kal-El/Clark Kent finding himself the movie ways at it's best I really feel that Henry Cavill's Superman had some weigh to him instead of being a unrelatable Big Blue Boyscout. It was funny to see the military arrest Superman with tanks everywhere and everybody armed to the teeth when all you think that ain't going to do shit. When you get flashbacks of how Clark grow up and how he never could fight back but instead had to just take the abuse knowing that he could take out everyone of his bullies scene like that really made me feel for a God-like kid that fucked up a dumbasses truck after talking shit. Something I liked about this Lois Lane is that on her own she finds out who the man behind the S or hope shield in a realistic way. Speaking of the shield I like how Zack Snyder kept it his family's chest but with the story I feel it would have been better off as a symbol for freedom other then hope. The character relationships between the Kent  and the El families felt real at first I felt that Diane Lane was forcing her role making her a bad fit for Ma Kent but after the movie progressed and I was her without Kevin Costner's Pa Kent her character got stronger I she pulled Martha Kent wonderfully. With Kevin Costner from beginning to end felt like the guardian father figure at much else the say other then Diane Lane and Kevin Costner roles in Man of Steel reminded me of Annette O'Toole and John Schneider's roles in Smallville. Personally I  felt Zod in the movie had too many throw away henchmen I felt that Zack Snyder should have flushed out the the main three Zod, Faora-Ul, and Tor-An because if Lois is that out half your well trained army somethings wrong. My dislike of the movie was the fighting it was way too summer blockbuster I mean you have a city and small town get completely fucked up millions died and the worst thing is it takes away the emotional burden that I'm supposed to feel that Superman has when he kills Zod. On the topic of Zod why did he take off his armor it made him go from scary badass to dude in his pajamas. Last the end scene when Major Carrie Farris played by Christina Wren says "I'm sorry but his really hot" that shit wasn't need. In closing Henry Cavill was a great Superman and I'm sorry but I felt even though Amy Adams was a great Lois their relationship was forced and anybody could have played her part.
My rating for this I like it = 7/10
