Watched Man of Steel the other night, IMAX 3D as well. Not sure if the 3D was needed though and as for my verdict? A provisional 3.5 Phil's out of 5, bit of a low score but would like to watch it again in 2D and maybe it will go up a bit. The special effects with a bit too much for me on some occasions and during the fight sequences everything happened far to quickly to actually work out what was going on, the super strength fights work for The Incredible Hulk in Avengers Assemble but it was a bit too over the top and too often in Man of Steel for me. But we will have the inevitable sequel to look forward to where things may slow down a bit.
There'll be comparisons to the other films starring the last son of Krypton and for me you can't beat Superman II, I guess when it comes to the man with an S on his chest I prefer mine I little bit more comic book.
If you haven't seen it go along and let me know what you think.
The picture at the top of the page is inspired both by the release of the rebooted Superman but also by the trailer of the upcoming Alan Partridge film Alpha Papa - with Chap of Steel as one of Alan's favoured alternate titles.
