Classic Sci-fi Superhero action movie

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2013)

There has been lot of hype surrounding this movie, right from its first trailer and the uncountable TV spots it came out with, and in many ways this film lives up to all the hype.Though the movie has lot many cons, I'll start with the Pros
1. Unmatched action, put all the marvel movies together in the last 2 years, it will still be difficult to match the extent and ferocity of this movie, though to some it was just too excessive but I loved every bit the movie offered
2. Non chronological way of storytelling adds freshness and a different feel to this movie, which most people expected from the biggest blockbuster of this summer.
3. General Zod (Michael Shannon) & Faora-Ul (Antje Traue) they form a perfect lethal and apt rivals to Superman
4. Fresh take on the destruction, in that last 10 years there has been 100's of movies showing destruction of earth, but this one really would remind many people 9/11. Good or bad, but the effects are very neat, real and emotional
5. Special effects, this was expected to be world class and indeed the special & visual effects will not disappoint anyone. 6. Krypton: this movie will give a feeling of watching an alien movie they way krypton is shot with the originality and unique display of their planet, though reminding little bit of Avatar
Cons:
1. Unsymmetrical way of storytelling destroys the fluidity and fluency in this movie, and at times it feels like watching episodes from a serialediting in this movie is not what one would expect it to be
2. Humor: People want and expect humor, this is a popcorn summer flick, there zero humor and probably the biggest drawback of this movie
3. Romantic connection between Louis lane and Superman is total waste, probably this is where marvel movies excel this one.
Overall this movie does not disappoint and worth going out with friends and family for a nice evening, I will wait for the director's cut to see if there more emotional content to be offered in this one this version still deserves a minimum 9 on 10, for all the things it offered and going beyond the expectations in terms of action offered
