Man of Steel returns in 3D on Blu-ray

He’s back! On 3D and 2D blurays! One of the most enjoyable bonus features is a two-minute animated short produced for Superman’s 75th anniversary that morphs images of the man of steel from his earliest incarnations through all his TV iterations and more recent film and comic adaptations.
And, of course, there is also a more traditional 25-min making-of featurette.

As for the movie itself, the 3D offers roughly the equivalent impact as its theatrical predecessor.
Snyder, who used 3D to pretty decent effect in “Sucker Punch” and  even moreso in “Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole,” is less ambitious with the format here. Although the depth between characters and objects is fairly pronounced in the first third of the 2 1/2-hour movie on the planet Krypton, the images appear to go almost flat when he gets to Earth, causing viewers to periodically pull off their glasses to see if there is any difference — not much. And that’s a big disappointment since there are so many scenes of flying and mayhem that seem perfectly suited for 3D. How cool would it be to see Superman appear to fly off the screen right over your head? But no, not happening here. Heck, Bryan Singer utilized 3D more effectively in the 20-minutes he converted for “Superman Returns.”
