80% Awesome, 20% plot holes & melodrama

Rating: 8/10 (6 October 2016)

No, it isn't as good as the 1st film but it's still worth watching. I did notice several inconsistencies and some of the drama was a bit contrived but the good far outweighed the bad. Yes, it was way too convenient that an alien spacecraft was left unguarded in the Indian Ocean and it's completely ridiculous when Lois has to risk her life to retrieve a weapon she hid just 10 minutes earlier but the rest of the film was so good I can overlook things like these. The cinematography is breathtaking, the soundtrack is riveting and I happen to like the Christ analogies. I think it's completely plausible that if Superman were real then we would all take sides and either worship him or demonize him. As far as the ending goes, Henry Cavill is signed up for 3 more of these films so I wouldn't worry - I'm sure he'll be resurrected. Maybe around Easter?
