Watch Superman Man of Steel 2013 online

To say that "Man of Steel" was one of the most highly anticipated blockbusters of the year would be a truly extreme understatement. For many huge Superman fans like myself, this wasn't just a big-budget comic book action flick worth looking forward to seeing; it was a cinematic event all its own. The trailers alone gave me chills the first time I saw them. And the fact that it was being directed by Zack Snyder ("300, " "Watchmen") and written by Christopher Nolan (the "Dark Knight" trilogy) only made my sheer anticipation for the film that much higher. So when the time finally came when my friends and I were able to see one of the first showings on opening night, no bad reviews from any professional critics could possibly get in the way of our excitement. Luckily for us, we ended up having a great time, though I'll admit that the movie is full of its fair share of problematic flaws that are often much more difficult to overlook than you'd think. Nonetheless, with its gritty visual style, engaging main characters, and invigoratingly massive action set pieces, this blockbuster easily stands above the rest in terms of spectacle, and just as well marks the start of a new era for Superman.
