About this deal

Clark Kent | Kal-El | Superman - he appears before us as a lost "person" trying to understand his history and origins. He has too many questions not to look for answers, and he is ready to visit any corner of the planet to find out his purpose. Clark Kent does not become Superman, but he already feels what it's like to be Kal-El. Evil is ready to destroy his new world, and he must protect him and eliminate the threat that he himself brought. He must become the hero that humanity deserves. At the very beginning of the film, Clark Kent is an unformed personality, but by the end, feeling all his power and strength, and realizing the threat posed by his enemy, he becomes Superman - a "man" ready for sacrifice for those who need his protection . This is his destiny. Superman 75th Anniversary Animated Short– If you were missing John Williams’ score, here it is – albeit it briefly. I wouldn’t consider myself a Superman “nut” but I’ve seen every big screen adaptation and I have to say that this is, by far, my favorite version. Granted it’s nice to not have the same story rehashed again and again, so it was a nice change of pace to get a different perspective on… everything. I was at first very dubious as to the casting of Henry Cavill, though I’d enjoyed him in Immortals, I wondered if he had the chops to pull this roll off. He did. While Amy Adams isn’t the best Lois Lane, I think she did a fine job here. But let’s get real – this is all about Superman. No doubt Warner is trying to reboot this franchise – again – and I think they might be onto something here. They won’t let Batman go and with 2015’s Batman vs. Superman already filming, the wheels are literally in motion. Usually I might add something like “this movie isn’t for everyone…” but I won’t say that here. This is a classic re-telling of a classic superhero that’s perfectly fit for a new generation. Not many movies that are 140 minutes feel like they go by in about 30, but this is one of them. Suffice it to say that this is highly recommended. Video: How’s it look? New Zealand: Home of Middle-Earth– Uh, ok. Either this is an error of some sort of Warner is really pushing The Hobbit. from the animated artificiality observed in the 4K versions of Batman v Superman and Mad Max: Fury Road). Another example of the gains in depth and texture can be seen in the Kansas

Man of Steel was the first for a long time a film about Superman, who collected an impressive cash register and was able to give hope for an excellent continuation. "Man from Steel" became a kind of "Batman: The Beginning" for the films about Superman. In this picture, Clark Kent still knows very little, understands little, and it is difficult for him to realize that he is not like everyone else. This film is about the beginning of the path of the most powerful superhero on Earth, which has become a symbol of truth and hope for all mankind. One of the reasons that Man of Steel works so well, is that Henry Cavill disappears nicely into the title role, and absolutely owns it here. For all the complaints some fans have with this film, Cavill’s take on Superman isn’t one of them. What's more, Michael Shannon’s Zod isn’t simply a megalomaniac; he’s deeply motivated to believe that his destructive cause is just. And here at last is a version of Lois Lane who’s intelligent and trustworthy, who looks before she leaps and who Superman can actually rely on. Amy Adams manages to do something unexpected – make her Lois an active, important participant in the story, who’s also the key to Crowe’s Jor-El remaining active in the story too. Clark Kent, one of the last of an extinguished race disguised as an unremarkable human, is forced to reveal his identity when Earth is invaded by an army of survivors who threaten to bring the planet to the brink of destruction.

The last son of Krypton takes a giant, impressive jump forward and makes a smooth landing on Ultra HD Blu-ray in a blaze of fiery explosions and apocalyptic destruction. Compared to its Blu-ray counterpart, unfortunately, the results are not exactly leaps and bounds ahead of its predecessor, which is not to say fans won't be able to note any visible improvements between the two, of which there are a several. Shot with a combination of traditional 35mm film and the Red Epic digital camera system for a few action sequences, the elements were mastered in 2K digital intermediate, and I suspect Warner Bros. did a simple unconvert of that master. The regrettable effects of that are some negligible hints of aliasing along the sharpest edges of buildings, thin structures and a top computer monitors. This also causes some very mild posterization in the faces of the cast, who sometimes appear pasty and drained, but for the most part, flesh tones appear natural with a realistic rosiness during several conversations in daylight.

All the other actors involved in the film played well, without interfering with the development of the plot, but only decorating it.

Krypton Decoded– The 13 year-old Clark Kent gives us a “tour” of Krypton, the home world of Superman. Christopher Nolan's ' Dark Knight' trilogy has had a tremendous impact on the way filmmakers and studios now approach comic book adaptations. They're now taken with a more serious, often quite dark and very much post-modern tone, interestingly exploring the psychology that makes up a superhero and how he handles the weight of responsibility as protector of humanity's own path towards destruction. Arguably, Ang Lee's largely disappointing ' Hulk' and Bryan Singer's excellent ' X2: X-Men United' were really the first films to touch on these themes; however, Nolan took it further, went deeper and traveled into darker territory. Today, the movie superhero is no longer a comic caricature, but a flesh and blood character, almost human, struggling with grave moral demands that adults can appreciate.
