The Fortress of Solitude in this film is a Kryptonian spacecraft secreted in the Arctic.

I know what the critics has said. They complained about too much
action, superman being too serious, lack of romance, etc. Since Zack
Snyder directed this movie, didn't care about the critics. Don't get me
wrong, he DOES care about the fans' opinion. Seems like he really
wanted to really satisfy the fans. I see why critics complained about
too much action, for me it's just his way to satisfy the viewers. This
is the kind of movie that is really satisfying. When the movie ended, I
got that 'satisfying' feeling instead of the 'wanting more' feeling.
It's like it was really enough.
Even Snyder's best movie (before this) which was 300 only rated 60% on
Rotten Tomatoes. I think the fans should have anticipated the bad
reviews. His style is actually what critics hate. The over the top
action & full of CGI is actually his trademark. So, even from the
beginning, I think this is actually the kind of movie the producers
wanted. About the lack of romance, I think it's saved for the sequel.
The sequel will definitely explore more about the relationship between
Kal El and Lois. This film focused on 2 aspects: the origin & the
action. Don't expect humor or romance.
The visuals were spectacular! What's best about this movie is its
action scenes. His battle with Zod was just relentless action. I think
the fans would not be disappointed at all. Yes, I know there is no
humor in this movie but that actually doesn't even matter. The battle
between Superman & Zod will definitely 'wow' everyone but the critics.
I mean who cares about the critics opinion? A superhero movie must not
be judged by the critics opinion, what's more important is the public's
opinion about the movie and especially the fans'. I think the movie
really delivered. Most people will definitely like this movie. Many
fanboys will consider this as the best comic book of all time. This is
a MUST SEE for people who likes action movie. The action were better
than last year's The Avengers.
As a conclusion, I think Man of Steel is so far the best action movie
this year. If this was compared to Iron man 3, if Iron man 3 was a 7,
this movie is a 8.6.
