Despite the critics best efforts to discourage seeing, I loved it!

Right of the bat I have to state that I LOVE Superman. My favorite comic book character and all time #1 superhero. Man of Steel was hugely refreshing to me in that we were finally shown a proper glimpse of the SPEED and POWER that Superman possesses. As great as Superman: The Movie was in its time, I was always disappointed that they portrayed superman as being weak and slow for someone that was supposed to be "Faster than a speeding bullet and more powerful than a locomotive" I found myself thinking, this is more like "above-average" Man rather than "Super" man so when MOS came along, I was over the moon at the way his feats of speed and strength was captured. I felt that Batman v Superman built on this by also showing how powerful batman can be when fighting for his life, not getting his back broken by some fat guy with a cheap Darth Vader voice changer. I can see why some people criticized the story which I actually enjoyed, but honestly, you don't really watch a superhero film for the story, it is about the Action scenes and BVS absolutely killed it in this department!!! Batman at the warehouse the best live action Batman fight ever but the one part that hooked me in was the part *** SPOILER ALERT *** where Batman is punching Superman in the face and bit by bit, Supes' strength returns.... EPIC moment of showing how powerful superman is!!!
