I liked the tone of the story, and the characters, but I think all of that is negated by it's pretty bad storytelling. On the surface the movie is actually pretty good, but if you take a magnifying glass to any part of the story, it just doesn't hold up.

We've seen enough attempts at myth-making Superman with religious overtones; Man of Tomorrow simply wants to make his first adventure fun.

Fans who are well versed in Superman will enjoy this modern retelling while those who are completely new to the character will likely become a fan after viewing this.

Its story isn't especially memorable, but the effort is there and sets this potential new Superman franchise up for superior sequels.
