Man of Steel was the first attempt at a reboot of Superman and was the first film of the now defunct DC Extended Universe/Snyderverse (DCEU) and it has been the subject of a lot of criticism from movie fans, DC fans, superhero movie fans and Superman fans on both sides and even if you're on either side, this is an interesting film to talk about and defend or hate.
In this video, Epictastic Joshua’s Joshua Drake Randall gives you all his thoughts on the 2013 DC superhero film and why despite the issues that are there, he can still enjoy this film for what it is.

With the imminent destruction of Krypton, their home planet, Jor-El (Russell Crowe) and his wife seek to preserve their race by sending their infant son to Earth. The child's spacecraft lands at the farm of Jonathan (Kevin Costner) and Martha (Diane Lane) Kent, who name him Clark and raise him as their own son. Though his extraordinary abilities have led to the adult Clark (Henry Cavill) living on the fringe of society, he finds he must become a hero to save those he loves from a dire threat.
