Special Features: Pacific Rim Trailer Featurette: New Zealand Home of Middle Earth Behind the Scenes – Strong Characters, Legendary Roles Behind the Scenes: All Out Action Behind the Scenes: Krypton Decoded Superman 75th Anniversary Animated Short Man of Steel Reviews “Feels both modern and traditional – a halfway house between the broodier Nolan way of shaking things up and the louder, bone-crunching style that director Zack Snyder established with films such as ‘300’ and ‘Sucker Punch’. Man of Steel is punchy, engaging and fun…” Time Out London “If the word “epic” has lost its meaning in the throes of recent summers, Man of Steel forcefully redefines it.” Film.com “Man of Steel is a chill-inducing visual spectacle that is absolutely Herculean in nature with a downright glorious performance by Michael Shannon, an epic score, and extremely intense action.” Examiner.com “It aches for more depth and warmth and humour, but this is spectacular sci-fi — huge, operatic, melodramatic, impressive. It feels the right Superman origin story for our era, and teases what would be a welcome new superfranchise­.” Empire “Has something that both "Dark Knight” films lacked: excitement. It grabs you viscerally, delivers emotionally. It may be the best big movie of the summer." Hollywood & Fine “Though fans might miss the levity that made Richard Donner's classic 1978 film Superman: The Movie such a game-changing joy, the thing that really sells this respectful reboot is the dramatic conviction underlying all the mega-scale mayhem.” 3AW “The action is plentiful and thumping; Marvel-size thrills await you and the generations of kids who still believe in Superman. I just mean that the movie finds its true, lofty footing not when it displays Kal-El’s extraordinary powers but when it dramatizes Clark Kent’s roiling humanity. The super part of Man of Steel is just O.K.; but the man part is super.” Time “A satisfying blockbuster with real-world sensibility and sci-fi fantasy, Man of Steel deserves to be the iconic Superman movie for a new generation.” ScreenRant “As much spectacle and action — minute-by-minute, frame-by-frame — as any movie anyone could think of.” The Hollywood Reporter
