The 2D platter's AVC 2.40:1 1080p transfer delivers a viewing experience that seems very similar to our memories of seeing Man of Steel at the cinema. There are also a few quieter moments – such as a close-up of a child's cart lying on its side in a field or Superman reaching for Lois' hand on Zod's spaceship – that are surprisingly effective. Snyder's fast-cutting, shaky-cam style isn't always conducive to creating cohesive stereoscopic imagery, yet the Blu-ray still serves up some convincing volumetric effects during its action scenes. Picture: While you'd be hard-pushed to describe Man of Steel's post-converted 3D visuals as being particularly demo-worthy, the MVC 2.40:1 1080p encode is more accomplished than we expected. And with Superman vs Batman on the way, it appears that the best is yet to come… Still, Man of Steel gets much more right than it gets wrong and represents a huge improvement on the terminally dull and referential Superman Returns. But Man of Steel also follows too closely in The Dark Knight's footsteps by giving us a surprisingly dark and angsty take on the 'Big Blue Boy Scout' that's riddled with odd religious allusions.


The good news is that Man of Steel is as action-packed as you could hope for, with the kind of ridiculously exaggerated superhero action you never thought you'd see outside of a comic book.

And with Christopher ( The Dark Knight) Nolan producing, Zack ( Watchmen) Snyder directing and David ( Blade II) Goyer on scripting duties, fans were surely in for the Superman movie to outdo all other Superman movies. With Batman proving to be a real hero at the box office it was inevitable that Superman would quickly follow suit. Superman flies high on Blu-ray courtesy of a superheroic DTS-HD MA 7.1 soundtrack
