Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel is “The Best Movie of the Year” According to Early Screenings

There are a lot of movies to look forward to this summer, but perhaps none more so than Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. Comic book movie fans are anxious for each new trailer, bit of footage or marketing release. We all want to know if the Zack Snyder directed, Chris Nolan “grandfathered” and produced film will live up to our expectations for the match.

Though the response to the trailers has been primarily positive, some still feel some concern that the film will be too dark, lack action, fail to capture Supes’ charm or that Snyder will pull a Sucker Punch and disappoint us all. Well, a source over at JoBlo was able to see a very early screening of the film and they are saying that, not only is there nothing to worry about, but this is the “best movie of the year.”

The bullet points review is as follows:

  • Imagine a Nolan story with Snyder effects/action.
  • It's the best movie of the year.
  • There's TONS of action with Superman kicking all kinds of ass in his suit.
  • The cape is CG'd most of the time so it can look awesome.
  • They have intentionally left out most of the the Super action in trailers to save it.
  • It's not nearly as dour and serious as the trailers suggest.
  • The movie is complete, minus the 3D post-conversion, which is currently taking place.

“Best movie of the year,” is pretty bold claim, but if this report doesn’t up the ante on the excitement for Man of Steel, I don’t know what will. We’ve all been wondering about the action and the tone of the film, and it seems as though we can (cautiously) put any fears we may have had to bed. It looks like a Syder/Nolan marriage may just be one made in heaven.

We should note however, this is just one person’s take on the film. So, again, cautiously, very optimistic.
