I saw this a couple of days ago. With the 3D experience and as a fan of CG there was a lot of eye-candy to indulge. I have to admit I got pretty emotional with the epic musics here and there, together with the scenery. Turned out to be more of a sci-fi than a superhero film. Plot.. meh. All in all 7/10 from me. [size=10]Edit: maybe 7½/10[/h]
Kind of aside the subject but there's something I've been wondering:
If gravity is just a feeble force to superman and he takes in extra nutrition from our atmosphere, shouldn't he be overweight and in bad health by the time he reaches adulthood? Considering the fact that he has had to hide his powers throughout his life, he probably hasn't had many chances to exercise to the extent that his body needs. How did he achieve the built of a professional wrestler that he's always portrayed with?

I like Man of Steel it was so much better then Superman Returns which wasn't to hard to beat. The only complaint I had was some of the fights went way to fast and it was hard to tell what was happeningThat's why the industry is trying to switch to 48 fps, as they did with the Hobbit. I'm looking forward to the future of visual technology, because of this new frame rate. It's gonna be badass, and the fights, if they made a live action fast paced flying fight scene like that, then we now have the technology to make an actually good live action Dragonball z movie.

But since energy has no mass, he's not gaining any weight or build from it. It's more like his body is absorbing energy and becoming denser and denser to the point of unbreakable.

Hmm, you have a point there, about energy not having mass. But still, really, how could he have given his muscles enough exercise if the gravity is too low for him? The astronauts have to constantly practice their leg muscles so that they won't just wither away.

If you're referring to atrophy then he only has to move his muscles, not exert them to the fullest, in order to prevent it. Plus he's not at full power when growing up, he's a kryptonian, humans are like ants to him, even the most frail human can crush an ant, likewise for the most frail kryptonian. Plus, you've gotta factor in the genetic engineering of his DNA, Jor-el was just a scientist and he still had the physique of a linebacker. It's probably in his DNA to adapt to Earth's environment latently without loss.
Also, in Flashpoint, there's an alt version of Superman where he wasn't fed sun radiation for the rest of his life, and so he's completely withered like astronauts are, but as soon as he's exposed his muscle definition come back, suggesting that his muscles are more stimulated from radiation rather than exertion.

Hm, well maybe I should've considered the fact that he's not human to set my mind at ease from the start. I'm not really a fan so I haven't looked into this that much but I'm glad if there is some kind of logic to be found out there for how his physique works. I give my thanks for this enlightening conversation o/
