cannot ask for more

BANG! BANG! BANG! Superman is BACK with a BANG. What is wrong with critics? If the same were under the name of Marvel featuring Hulk then I guess they would have been delighted. One of the critics wrote that it is part Thor. Seriously? Is it? In answer to that Superman is a born hero. He is not the product of an experiment or is the son of God. He is just a simple man with his weaknesses and also the power which is a gift of this planet to him. Martin Luther once exclaimed 'until a man is nothing God can make nothing out of him', and that's what Superman is. He is Everything which a genetically advanced generation of human species can achieve. He is 'the good' around which our society will build itself. He stands as a dream of the notion of 'American dream' to which others will look for their salvation. Now coming to the script...ummm...do I need to say anything about it? Come on we all know that it is penned by Chris Nolan and David S. Goyer. Now what can be better than this duo? One thing which I admire in Nolan's movies is that he always brings illustrations from literary texts, and this is what makes him stand apart from other directors and writers. In this movie Huxley's Brave New World serves his purpose. Visually, the movie is spectacular, stunning, amazing, grand, majestic whatever way you define it. Choosing Zack Snyder for the direction was an awesome choice, and he did justice to it. Though somewhere I felt that the neo – superhero concept of Nolan where the hero fights with his emotions and with the society all at the same time lacks the substance here yet we cannot complain because the second half is visually so authoritative that you cannot ask for more. This movie comes as an answer to Marvel that now DC is ready for them with their lot of superheros. I hope this screen war continues and grows bigger because it will prove to be a boon for the audience. Four stars out of five from my side. Go watch this movie with your friends and family, and you'll not be disappointed at all.
