I didn't think that we needed another Superman movie. How can we make a story about someone who is almost invincible compelling?

This is a movie that I saw because people were talking about it.

I’ve been a little bored with some of the super hero movies that have been coming out and was ok with not checking this one out in theaters.

But, there was something about it. The word that caught my interest about this movie had hope</>. Maybe just because of all the things happening in this world that just feel wrong. I’m a fan of The Boys and Invincible, but I’ve grown tired of immoral super people. We’ve seen that too often and in different ways.

The movie is refreshing in that it doesn’t take the viewer through the origins of the characters. There’s no homework of other movies and comic books that you need to know in order to enjoy this movie. If you want that, you can do it on your own time.

I feel that the movie does a great job of showing the Man in The Man of Steel. He’s multifaceted while also demonstrating a type of sincerity that I haven’t seen enough of. In other Superman films, it felt as if every problem that he’d face would be fixed by some newly discovered power. This one has to use his brain and the connections that he has with other people in order to save the day.

Ultimately, the movie shows that you do not need to be Superman to be part of making the world a better place.
