We zip to the Arctic tundra, where Daily Planet staffer Lois Lane (Amy Adams) - now a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter - is writing about a mysterious discovery beneath the ice.

We see Clark being bullied as a child, then saving a bus full of his tormentors we see him confer with his adoptive parents, the Kents (beautifully played by Diane Lane and Kevin Costner), who sense they’re in the middle of the ultimate drama of the gifted child. It takes nearly an hour for Clark to don the iconic red cape and “S”-imprinted chest plate, which turns out to be not even the midpoint in a story that, with its back-and-forths, jump cuts and flashbacks and repetitively percussive action sequences, seems to have been filmed by an easily distracted child or sentient garden hose.

Seeking to cram as much back story as possible into a movie that feels like a reboot, prequel and creation myth all in one, Snyder and Goyer then leap forward to a time when Kal - now an adult earthling named Clark Kent - is working on a fishing boat, haunted by an unnamed past and once in a while jumping into the water to save a crew from a burning rig with his superhuman strength. Goyer, accentuate Superman’s intergalactic provenance in “Man of Steel,” which opens on Krypton just as the planet is crumbling, the rogue General Zod (an alarmingly skeletal Michael Shannon) is threatening a coup and the wise scientist Jor-El (Russell Crowe) is sending his infant son Kal-El into the cosmos in order to begin the world over again.
But that dour tone turns out to be far more appropriate for a tortured hero brooding in his cave than for an all-American alien who is as much a product of the wholesome windswept Plains as a distant planet called Krypton. Produced by Christopher Nolan, who brought such grim self-seriousness to the “ Batman” franchise, “Man of Steel” clearly seeks the same brand of grandiose gravitas. Newly minted superstar Henry Cavill makes a well-built, handsomely credible Superman in “ Man of Steel” - or at least he will, in an already-planned sequel that, with luck, will more thoughtfully exploit his talents.įor now, audiences can only speculate as to the hidden depths of Cavill, who in Zack Snyder’s busy, bombastic creation myth is reduced to little more than a joyless cipher or dazzling physical specimen.
