Man of Steel
A young boy learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not of this Earth. As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do. But the hero in him must now emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind.

I genuinely have no idea why this movie is as well regarded as it is. It's absolutely joyless. The editing is disjointed. The performances (save Amy Adams) are incredibly flat and the "Superman is literally Jesus" narrative is cringeworthy. It insists upon itself.
