At last, Superman is back!!!

Rating: 9/10 (14 June 2013)

There are a lot of things being said about this film. The critics have certainly had a field day with it. It has been said that the movie lacks depth and it doesn't deliver dramatically, it's been said that it closes with too much noise and exaggerated action and too much effects. But what some people had failed to notice is that this movie is quite rich in story and character purposes. I will admit that I thought it has some plot holes or the build-up felt kind of accelerated at some points, but when you have a superhero that's so recognized, you just don't need a lot of stuff to be aware of what he is about.
But even so, I thought that they developed the character pretty well. And they give him a majestic background, they really took the time to established the situation that came before him being sent to Earth by his natural parents. Some critics say that he lacks emotion and "passion" but if you really pay attention to the movie, you'll understand why he is the way he is. Other people has said that General Zod was not as stunning and impressive as they were expecting him to be, but I don't think that he needed to be this intensely evil character. I mean, he had a purpose, a belief, and he was a soldier, and I think that it was well established and portrayed. You only see his eyes and you can see how menacing and scary he can be. Another thing, Faora, Zod's right hand, was as hot as she was amazing.
And yes, the movie had a lot of action and effects, not as much as Transformers, but it was indeed loud and overwhelming, but I don't mean it in a bad way. But let's face it, if you had superpowers and some alien who's also super powerful comes down to Earth and he's like "I'm gonna get you and your whole planet" and starts causing problems, you're gonna go to town on this dude, and you're gonna break some stuff and have a super destructive fight. It was kinda painful to see how far the destruction went and it would've been decent to add like a line of dialogue or something to point out that the destruction was massive and probably a lot of people died.
So yeah, the movie had some things that might have been too much and some not enough, but it doesn't mean that the movie wasn't amazing and breath-taking. I believe that it was an excellent jump-start if they're planning on going with the whole justice league thing or if they'll do a sequel. I believe they really made the statement: Superman is back and here to stay. Go watch it.
