Man of Steel (2013) 
Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel reimagines the origin story of Superman, bringing the iconic superhero into a darker and more grounded universe. Starring Henry Cavill as Clark Kent / Superman, the film explores his journey from an alien child on Earth to a hero who must embrace his destiny as the world’s greatest protector.
The movie starts with a stunning portrayal of Krypton’s destruction, offering a fresh perspective on the planet’s demise. The film then shifts to Clark’s early years on Earth, struggling with his identity and power. As General Zod (Michael Shannon) arrives on Earth with plans to reshape the planet, Clark must step up as Superman, balancing his moral compass with the reality of protecting humanity.
Henry Cavill delivers a powerful performance as Superman, capturing both the strength and vulnerability of the character. The relationship between Clark and his adoptive parents, Jonathan (Kevin Costner) and Martha Kent (Diane Lane), is one of the emotional cores of the film. The chemistry between Clark and Lois Lane (Amy Adams) also adds depth to the story.
Visually, Man of Steel is breathtaking, with spectacular action sequences and impressive CGI that bring Superman’s abilities to life. The final battle, while divisive for some, is an intense spectacle of destruction and heroism. The darker tone, along with Hans Zimmer’s powerful score, gives the film a grand and epic feel.
Though Man of Steel differs from previous Superman films, it successfully establishes a new, modern take on the character and his mythos, setting the stage for the DC Extended Universe.
