After being sent to Earth by his parents to prevent him from dying in the destruction of his home planet Krypton, an infant boy is taken in by Kansas farmer Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner) and his wife Martha (Diane Lane), who name the child Clark. Growing up Clark (Cooper Timberline/Dylan Sprayberry) begins to discover the true potential of the superpowers he possesses but with this comes a sense of responsibility. In his 20s Clark (Henry Cavill) gets a job as a newspaper reporter at 'The Daily Planet' where he meets and later becomes romantically involved with colleague Lois Lane (Amy Adams). When an evil force threatens the Earth and its inhabitants, Clark resumes his true identity as a superhero and fights to save the planet. Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe and Laurence Fishburne co-star.

If you grew up in an age as I did these were absolute gems to read as a child & it soon became clear you would be making a distinctive choice between which of these titles you preferred (pocket money would only stretch so far in those days). My loyalties fell strictly in the Marvel camp, & still do to a degree, because with Marvel Comics the characters had so much more substance. Eschewing such comic book tropes as secret identities and even costumes at first, having a monster as one of the heroes, and having its characters bicker and complain in what was later called a "superheroes in the real world" approach totally won me over. So let's take a look at Superman's origins. Here was a guy from another planet, he wore a laughable costume (although at the time it was totally acceptable as it was based on the attire of the strong man in a circus), was totally invincible plus super strong (unless you had a small lump of green rock handy), had x-ray/laser vision, could move faster than a speeding bullet, & he could fly!!! Now through a child's eyes this was magnificent but as an adult seemed totally ridiculous, especially his holier then thou image ... change was needed. To be honest I would like to thank all those people who spouted forth such negative comments as if spitting out vile in their reviews because I had absolutely zero expectations before watching this film & I have to say I was totally blown away. I would go as far to say this is the best re-boot of any franchise I have seen to date. Marvel were taking the higher ground with the like of X-Men, Iron Man, etc. & DC were starting to fall desperately behind so what do they do? They take Superman & give him the full Spiderman treatment. He has angst, he gets angry, he doesn't fit in at school, he is unsure if the world will accept him as a hero or a villain, he's adopted & is forced to watch his adoptive father die, & at last he has a costume that is cool!! It absolutely works on every level & I have no idea why people are complaining about there being too much action ... are these the same people who complain about long winded plot build ups meaning we don't get to see enough of our hero in action? I thought the mixture of action, plot, & flashbacks (to fill in the gaps for people unaware of Superman's past but kept thankfully short) were spot on. You have a stellar cast of whom none dissapoint & the choice of the relatively unknown Henry Cavill to take the lead for me was a stroke of genius. He manages to make Superman believable again explaining that it is not an "S" on his chest at all but a symbol from his planet that means hope, he can grow a beard & his hair can get ruffled. If you love films of this genre my advise is plain & simple give it a go ... pay no attention to all the negativity surrounding this movie. I hope you will be as pleasantly surprised as I was. Review: AND SO IT BEGINS (4K EXCELLENCE) - Must admit, other than Disney Comics, DC's Superman comic series was, from an early age, a firm favourite when growing up. This the first of a new beginning from director and writer Zack Snyder..... The story starts during the final days of planet Krypton when we see Jor-El (Russell Crowe) the father of Kal-El/ Clarke Kent/Superman (Henry Cavill /young Clarke - Dylan Sprayberry) make the decision in the knowledge Krypton's days were now few to locate a place far away to transport his new-born son too, giving him a chance of life. However, General Zod (Michael Shannon) try's to prevent Jor-El from doing so, and when he does promises that he will, however long it takes find Kal-El. General Zod and his followers after committing treachery against the state are sentenced to exile in the Phantom Zone. The young Kal-El lands upon his fathers chosen destination on a farm in Kansas and is found and raised by Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner) and his wife Martha (Diane Lane) Though Jonathan realizes early-on that Clarke as Kal-El is known by has unusual power he does everything in his power to protect his adopted son from the World becoming aware. Clarke now a young man though having occasions to use his powers manages to remain invisible, it is now that he has his first encounter learning of who he is and meeting a hologram of his real father deep below the artic icecap and where he first comes across reporter Lois Lane (Amy Adams) Lois will promise to keep Clarke's secret until he's ready to show the World who he really is, which will not be so far off as the banished General Zod and his followers arrive determine to bring Kal-El back into the fold and create a new Krypton on planet Earth at the expense of its inhabitants. General Zod and his followers have similar powers to that of Superman, the battle begins, though not wanting to destroy his distant past Clarke will have to make difficult choices to protect the people he'd grown-up around. Will Superman prevail against all odds? For me, this action-packed, CGI wonder is far and away the best of the Zack Snyder trilogy and yes, is greatly enhanced on the 4k Format....a spectacle to behold, well worth the upgrade investment. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Henry Cavill, Kevin Costner, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe, Zack Snyder Contributor Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Henry Cavill, Kevin Costner, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe, Zack Snyder See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,254 Reviews | | Format | Blu-ray | | Genre | Adventure, Fantasy, Action, Science Fiction, Action | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Warner Home Video | | Number of discs | 1 | | Runtime | 2 hours and 23 minutes | ## Product Details - **Format:** Blu-ray - **Genre:** Adventure, Fantasy, Action, Science Fiction, Action - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 23 minutes ## Images ![Man Of Steel [Superman] [Blu-ray] [2013] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91snoWmxUxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Man Of Steel Gets A Marvel Make-over *by T***N on 15 December 2013* To do this review properly I thought it necessary to go back the the origins of the "superhero" & the battle between DC (Detective Comics to give it it's full title) & Marvel Comics.

A lot of negativity had surrounded Man of Steel and there had been some talk of Superman's role in the new film being played down because of it. I managed to find it suspiciously cheap for second hand and watched it - and thoroughly enjoyed it. There are flaws there, but they are not insurmountable or even that significant unless you are going into watching it with a pedantic mindset. So the weaknesses: The main areas that reviewers have targeted have related to: a) The extended battle at the end, b) the conflicted representation of Superman himself, c) slips in logic that are exposed when you pick it apart. a) The battle is too long and insanely destructive. This seems to be addressed in the beginning of the new film, but needs some thought or reference to it within this one. The huge amount of destruction in itself isn't problematic, it just needed to touch on the doubt surrounding his influence / effect in the last few minutes - but instead it goes a little lighter. It is pleasing that an element of teamwork is involved, although the soldier Hardy does have more of a role in the final conflct that Lois Lane. It does mean, though, that we jump very quickly between 4 or 5 different action scenes in quick succession and a more effecient approach to the storytelling might have streamlined this and made it less over-bearing. Although it is flawed, it does not revolve around spinning the earth to go back in time, a magic amnesia kiss or a Doctor Who level robot-woman, so it's not all bad. b) Superman is full of doubt in this movie but, unless you intend to aim young with the film, the purely heroic Superman of Reeve would not really work in modern films. He needs to have conflict, otherwise he is just too powerful. Cavill does a very good job of balancing the past and present of the character - possibly he would be better served by offering up a little more of the running time to character building, rather than action scenes. The contentious final act of violence is well-handled and established in the context of the scene. It's all about introducing conflict and turmoil to the character to make him more unpredictable and interesting. It was something new for the character and, unless you intend to do something new, there really is little point (As well-crafted as Superman Returns was, it really struggled to justify its existence). c) There are slips in logic (notably inconsistencies over Superman's need for oxygen etc). They are frustrating, because you would hope that the myriad readers who would have gone through the script really should have been able to pick up and iron out such inconsistencies. The strengths: Henry Cavill: he handles the character well, developing conflict whilst projecting the more classical aura. His motivation is clearly established, which gives him a more engaging arc than is often present in blockbuster films. General Zod/ Michael Shannon: the character has been significantly developed since Stamp's portrayal in Superman 2 and, as charasmatic as he was, it's all progress. The idea of understanding his point of view and motivation really helps with exploring the morality of the story. He brings a fierce intensity ("I will find him!") which interestingly conflicts with his reluctance to fight with Jor-El. Special effects: consistently excellent, they really sell the adrenaline of flying and the ferocity of the villains. Indeed, their ridiculous superiority over the soldiers is unnerving (swatting away at flies). Secondary characters: Hardy seemed particularly interesting, seeing that he was the one with a real arc - moving from miliary jackass to significant ally. And his own ongoing conflict with the female supervillain is particularly well-handled. That said, one or two were skimmed over (notably the reporters) and could have been developed to give the threat of the ending a little more weight. I did enjoy the film and its a little frustrating that so many seemed distracted by the ending and forgot the good film that set it up. ## Frequently Bought Together - Man Of Steel [Superman] [Blu-ray] [2013] [Region Free] - Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice [Ultimate Edition] [Blu-ray] [2016] [Region Free] - Zack Snyder's Justice League [4K Ultra-HD] [2021] [Region Free] [Blu-ray] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48002812-man-of-steel-superman-blu-ray-2013](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48002812-man-of-steel-superman-blu-ray-2013) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-20*
