Man of Steel (Review) The filmmakers made lot's of good choices. But also few awful ones that make the movie humorless and tedious.

I try to avoid spoilers but, it's hard to do a review without talking about what happens in the movie. So be warned.

But the best part of the movie is the way it treats Kal-El's struggle with coming out as an alien.

For a knowledgeable, detailed (and spoiler-filled) discussion of what's wrong with the last third of MoS, read the entry on the Thrillbent blog titled "Man of Steel, since you asked"
