Review Detail

I firmly believe this is the closest someone is going to get at making Man of Steel feel like a real Superman movie. The music and color adjustments are surprisingly effective and really work with the style and the movie. It feels more fun, more thrilling, and less dour. I really enjoyed the film this way.

I have a small gripe, but it's one that I think may have been unavoidable. Because of the way you've set the film up, starting with Lois' point of view, we don't really get to know Clark at all before he gets on the ship and receives his suit. This feels a bit jarring for me, as I don't feel that we get to see Clark "earn" the suit. He basically becomes Superman 10 minutes after we saw Krypton explode. It's honestly a pretty big problem for the first half of the film, but it's also one I'm not sure you could've fixed. Perhaps some of the scenes of young Clark happening at the beginning of the film?

Overall: Great pacing, incredible work on the music replacement, a colorful, fun and exhilarating film, and a huge improvement over the original. Great job!
