A masterpiece of action and storytelling all wrapped up in a twist produced an immensely entertaining movie. Man of Steel had a distinctive clarity from start to finish, from childhood details to super power background. It all seemed like one could follow through the movie without it turning into an overly long winded story line. Even superman's love interest was introduced in a subtle way right through. It plays on the character, it plays on the human side as well as the not so human side. It even surprises and outshines the evil. Finally, we are shown what it takes for the world to acknowledge the unknown and the different.
