Henry
Cavill's
Performance
Henry
Cavill,
30,
as
Kal-El,
makes
a
charming
and
enthralling
Man
Of
Steel.
He
is
convincing
as
the
gloomy,
conflicted
Superman
coming
to
terms
with
his
unearthly
status.
Unfortunately,
the
script
doesn't
give
him
much
substance
in
terms
of
speech,
but
his
action
does
all
the
talking.
Russell
Crowe
Is
A
Big
Asset
Of
MOS
Kevin
Costner
and
Diane
Lane
as
Cavill's
earthly
parents
deliver
a
touching
performance.
Russell
Crowe
as
Jor-El
walks
through
his
role.
Michael
Shannon
as
Zod
the
antagonist
is
in
comfortable
zone
and
does
not
effectively
provoke
fear.
Amy
Adams'
Performance
The
narrow
focus
on
Amy
Adams
as
Cavill's
love
interest,
Lois
Lane,
the
Pulitzer
Prize-winning
hard-news
reporter
who
uses
her
journalistic
acumen
to
quickly
deduce
his
secret
identity
does
not
capture
our
hearts.
That's
probably
because
the
director
did
not
give
them
much
screen
time.
Production
Values
Presented
in
a
very
non-linear
fashion,
director
Zack
Snyder
along
with
writer
David
S.
Goyer
cleverly
and
curiously
unravels
Clark's
traits.
The
wonderful
score
by
Hans
Zimmer
adds
to
the
film's
attention-grabbing
lustre.
CGI
In
MOS
The
fight
scenes,
with
its
shock-and-awe
barrage
of
sci-fi
fire
and
brimstone,
in
the
second
half
of
the
film
gets
weighed
down
by
CGI
overkill
and
thickets
of
exposition
about
the
Kryptonian
codex,
making
it
boring
after
a
while.
Critic's
Verdict
Nevertheless,
the
film
is
gripping
even
in
its
humourless
tone
and
persistently
noisy
destructive
aesthetics.
It
connects
with
its
audience
on
the
emotional
front.
Man
Of
Steel
is
definitely
a
recommended
watch.
