Background: The Dissolve is a new movie discussion site, think of it as a more upscale badass digest. They aggregate movie articles from around the web and write some of their own features. Among those, every month, they look at a movie from the same month a year ago and re-evaluate with hindsight, this month they're looking at MoS.

Matt Singer of The Dissolve said:What holds up:
Nolan and Goyers obsession with realism paid dividends in at least one way: Man Of Steels depiction of its hero and his powers. This Superman looks better than incredible; he looks credible. The tagline of Richard Donners Superman was Youll believe a man can fly, but there has arguably never been a more convincing-looking superhero in any movie than Henry Cavill in Man Of Steel.
Every previous Superman, even Donners, demanded a certain amount of suspension of disbelief; ignoring the trampoline that was hiding just out frame, or the wires keeping Christopher Reeve afloat. Snyders Superman looks real, full stop, with a raw physicality that has never been present before in any iteration of the charactereven Bryan Singers Superman Returns from just seven years ago. Cavill actually seems to be able to violate the laws of gravity at will.
