"it's no exaggeration to say that" body of steel "is the most sophisticated and ambitious work of its kind. In terms of conceptualization, creation, performance and directing, it goes beyond all Superman series and even all comic adapted superhero films. This Superman restart by Murphy Stanton is a dark, complex and disturbing film, at least because it grafts the comic hero on the blueprint of real reality, rather than just creating a superman in elastic fiber clothing.
