A more realistic interpretation of Superman

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2013)

I've seen all of the Superman films from Christopher Reeves to this most recent one with Henry Cavill. I must say this rendition of Superman has got to be the most plausible one to date. The way his origins were told, including the periodic flashbacks I thought were well done. The flashbacks provided just enough insight to clarify his past, or build upon an event to come in the movie without giving you that 'out of sequence' feeling. The Superman/Lois relationship I felt was spot on and made the entire movie (and any potential future films) plausible; this aspect of the movie (for me)was even more evident at the end.
The action in this movie was given to you in enough doses to keep you engaged in the movie until you get to those first and second big climax scenes. For me the first fight scenes in Kansas were truly awesome and adequate, however the bigger climactic moment in Metropolis I felt was a little over done. I mean, how many buildings can you destroy? Dail this back to maybe 110% because I did reach a point were I wanted it to end.
Overall this was a great reboot and direction for the Superman character and franchise. I personally really don't feel this is a "Dark" representation of Superman, just a thoroughly modern realization of how life would be now for the superhero. Life isn't perfect, not even for Superman.
Forget all the other Superman movies, go watch this one, twice, and enjoy it!
