10 Things You Didn't Know About Man of Steel

[Laurtew]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the tie-in between Henry and Russell Crowe. When Russell was filming Proof of Life, they filmed part of it at Stowe prep school, which is where Henry went to school. Between takes, Henry went up to Russell and asked him about being an actor. Russell was honest and told him how hard it was, but encouraged him. He later sent him an autographed photo. When they were filming MOS, Russell thought Henry looked so familiar and asked him if they'd met. Henry told him who he was and that Russell was one of the reasons he became an actor. I thought it was a pretty cool coincidence.

I think the fact that Henry Cavill got to keep his hairy chest because he cited actual comic instances of Superman’s hairy chest just speaks to how good a choice he was to play the roll.

There will always be a special spot in my heart for Reeve. If anyone could try to fill his shoes, I feel like Cavil did a good job.

Such a shame this Superman was never given a chance to truly grow. Should've been a trilogy before heading towards Justice League territory.

I’m a Reeve’s man, born in the 80s, and loved his version. Superman Returns is the movie I forgot about and really don’t want to watch it. Man Of Steel is great! I can watch MOS on repeat!! HC did an amazing job. Reeves and Cavill are both Superman to me.
We all have our opinions and can like and dislike whoever but Cavill is my Superman

This movie came out shortly before my first son was born. I had my concerns about being a father, but watching MOS made me think about all the potential my son has in this world, and it made me more at ease with the thoughts of fatherhood.

The fact that Cavill looks like Reeve in that moment is just a testament that he was the perfect person to pass the torch to. DC really screwed up not keeping him as Superman.

Absolutely love this movie. Saw it twice at the theater. When he first learns to fly I was grinning like a fool. My favorite Superman film. Great score as well.

Brandon Routh didn't do a bad job! I believe he was trying to mimic the mannerisms of the late Christopher Reeve. As a long-time Superman fan, and as a fan of Christopher Reeve, ''Superman Returns'', though with its flaws, HAS a special place in my heart! And the actor has my respect.

Another great video, Minty! Keep up the good work. And cheers from Texas! 🤠

I love how they really explored the psychology of how if might have been for Clark growing up as a boy having his powers and the difficulty he went through. Also loved the greater depth into the origin of Krypton. The movie was an A for me.

Michael Shannon was awesome in this movie. The main reason I enjoyed this movie so much. Great character

[JoeMapes]

I liked the fact Zod had an actual purpose in this story vs. the original. In original, he just wants to rule Earth like a God vs. ants. In this story, he has a meaningful purpose of transforming Earth to Crypton.

Hey, don't forget Amy Adams did an episode of Smallville so she was already in the Superman legacy. She was in the season 1 of Smallville. She was a girl drinking. The protein shakes made out of kryptonite but yeah she said it wasn't for Smallville. She wouldn't have got the role of Lois Lane

"I could look like this...but burritos exist." Classic!!

[janitorlife]

I think we can all agree that Henry Cavill is a great Clark Kent/Superman.

[OmniOne]

To this day, 10 years since the movie debuted, I can NOT make it through Jor El’s speech to Clark without crying. From “Why am I so different from them” on, It’s the ultimate father to son pep talk. The beautiful piano begins to play, and it goes from I miss you dad to I CAN FUCKING FLY DAD!!!

I loved this movie. I wish they made part 2 instead of Batman vs superman

[davidvarney]

I absolutely loved MOS when I saw it at the cinema, it completely pulled the rug from under me & it's still one of my favourite movies to this day.

[Krimson]

I actually really like Man of steel, I think snyder is a great director

[bjjukes]

I have my problems with Superman Returns. However, the airplane rescue is by far the best Superman scene ever filmed.
