The early movie reviews / reactions for Man of Steel:

Josh Dickey collected a few notable reactions, including the two below from anonymous “movie people.”

MOS is awesome. 🙂 Best summer movie yet.

I loved MOS. Completely disagreed with people nitpicking “not enough personality.” It’s different: Bigger action, tight, VERY focused story.

Dickey also picked up these glowing comments from Daniel Dalton.

Man Of Steel is unlike any Superman film you’ve ever seen. Initial thoughts: Looked amazing, action was stunning, Cavill & cast excellent.

Best film he’s made. I loved his Watchmen, but this is a better fit for his skills. Oh, and there was no slo-mo 🙂

Rusty was great, got a nice opening scene. K-Cost rocked the world weary farm wisdom of Pa Kent like a boss.

as much as I enjoyed Returns, this is an entirely different beast. Returns felt anachronistic somehow. MoS is of this time.

Singer’s film was too tied to Donner’s. This shrugs off any creative shackles and paints with a free brush.

An anonymous tipster who wrote in to AICN had similarly nice things to say.

Overall, it’s gloriously flash and fun, bold and hallucinogenic, all the while having a touch of grit, grain and gravity. What it is is seriously geeky, and was probably made to appeal to Superman fans first and foremost. This is because it takes its mythology seriously. It’s a long movie, but it’s never boring. It does return to the greatness of the first two movies.

The embargo imposed by the studio is keeping most folks from saying too much, but a few couldn’t resist dropping vague but encouraging hints.

Do yourself a favor……..go see Man of Steel when it comes out. That’s all I’m saying.

I feel like I won the lottery and can’t talk about winning the lottery.

Other movie lovers couldn’t or wouldn’t divulge their own reactions, but were happy to comment on other people’s excited reactions.

@NotoriousJLD heard “crazy good” spoke to me personally, very good, 11/10, 10/10, great, winning the lottery, best superhero movie ever

@NotoriousJLD Feedback I’ve heard from numerous people is “very good but not great.”

— Mike Sampson (@mjsamps) May 31, 2013

@NotoriousJLD One dm I got for MOS stated that it made him weep it was that great. He wishes he could write about it and beak this embargo.

A friend’s reaction to a certain movie coming out in a couple of weeks: “I was expecting a 9, but it was seriously a 10.”

— ErikDavis (@ErikDavis) May 31, 2013

WOW! Hearing from lots of folks that MAN OF STEEL scale is so dope & epic, that it makes THE AVENGERS look like a Syfy TV movie of the week!

Just got this MAN OF STEEL review from someone whose opinion I value: “Very good. Massive in scale and action.”

— Marc Graser (@marcgraser) June 1, 2013

Of course, every film has its detractors. One who didn’t seem so hot on Man of Steel was Jenn Murphy, as quoted by Comic Book Movie.

There’s a reason why they told us not to tweet about the movie we just saw: IT’S TERRIBLE!!!

Also it definitely fails the Bechdel Test. Seriously can big budget movies create a decent role for a woman? It’s getting pretty ridiculous.

Meanwhile, one blogger wrote in to inform Dickey that their sources had strongly disliked Man of Steel.

I haven’t seen MoS, but from those that have (and are under embargo) I’ve heard it’s abysmal. …. four or five said to go in with way, way lowered expectations, that they’ve removed all sense of the character from film
