Man of Steel was what it needed to be. The Shadow of Reeves crushed Returns, and they couldn't do that again. And for people complaining that it's not consistent with the portrayal in the older films and that this or that was "wrong" do you even read the books? Superman has had heaps of variation, but suddenly this one is wrong? Really comes across as "not muh supamayne!"

75 years people, should have already got used to various interpretations.

3 Stars, did what it needed to do, and had fun along the way.
