Man of Steel (2013)

This new take on the Superman story was an action packed thriller. The start of the movie is a little strange but once it gets going it turns out great. Clark Kent gets sent to earth by his parents when his world is under imminent danger. He is found in his pod by a couple who raise him as there own.

When he grows up he confronts his past and discovers why he has these special abilities that make him so different from others.

This movie has a great cast of well known actors and some lesser known ones. I recommend this movie and give it a 5 out of 5.
