Movie Date : Man of Steel

And I just couldn't help to take a picture with Superman! :)

I went out with my friend Jackie in SM Megamall to watch Man of Steel yesterday. Since our scheduled time was at 3:40 in the afternoon, We had time to meet my other friend Shyne and we stayed a couple of hours at Chatime (my favorite milk tea place) to kill time. Chika, chika and more chika until 3:00 PM. But deep inside I was really excited to enter the cinema. You already know how long I've been waiting for this movie! Since last year, so yeah, was really happy when we finally entered the cinema.

My thoughts about the Man of Steel... it was good as I expected. With Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer and Zach Snyder behind it, I knew it from that start that it's going to kick-ass. And it did. I'm so happy for Henry because there are a lot of people in the cinema *grins wide*. I'm such a proud fangirl!

Anyways, during the first half, in the planet Krypton, I cannot help but be reminded of LOTR/The Hobbit. I mean the effects. It looks a lot like something done by someone who did the effects for the movies I've mentioned. Alas! I was right! I googled last night and found out that the special effects were also done by Weta Digital. Kaya pala.

*Spoiler alert! *

Like what my Friend said on Twitter last night, Man of Steel is not a Superhero movie, it is the story of Clark Kent. Yes, I agree. Man of Steel is about Clark Kent’s backstory and how he started to become Superman. You may find the ending bitin. And I believe that there's going to be a sequel of it. And I read from somewhere that there's a sequel in the making together with a Justice League movie! *squeals in excitement* I just hope if there's really ever a Justice League movie, Henry Cavill will still play as Superman *crosses finger*.

I'm sorry for saying this... I really love Henry and you guys know how much I do but...I think there's still something lacking with his...uhm...acting. He is really good to stare/gape at because he is really hot, sexy, and good-looking and all that, but his usual frowning really bothers me. I've seen this on him so many times in the movies and TV series I've watched him. I'm expecting to see something different from him in this movie but...well, how can I say this? I want to see more emotions, facial expressions from him and he kind of disappoints me on this. I'm not the only one who thinks about this, yeah?

~Yaney, don't compare Henry to Leonardo. They are different. duh?? *reminds self*

But I think Henry Cavill suits to be this new era's Superman. Well, I really hope in the second installment, we'll see something new and he improved~

And by the way, if there’s an actor who standout for me in this movie, I would have to say that it’s Michael Shannon who plays General Zod.

All in all, I like the movie. I love the action scenes and the special effects. They really put their utmost effort for this. This reboot is generally awesome! I actually want to watch it again, in 3D or IMAX the next time.
