Superman for Grown Ups!!

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2013)

If you just want wham bam action and thin plot lines you will not like this.
Right from the start you know this film is going to be something special. This sticks faithfully to the original comic books. It has the dark edge that the Dark Knight films had. Characters have substance and real motivation. The bad guy is not just evil because he is evil, but it is because he believes what he is doing is right.
In the same vein Superman does what he thinks is right. Loved the scene setting and the great dialogue. I thought the Lois story was very well inter-weaved. Her character makes more sense.
Overall some epic action sequences with some excellent acting.
If you like the Dark Knight you will love this.
PS Why oh why are people comparing this to past Superman films? Perhaps they would like the John Williams music as well? This story is lifted from the comics and by-passes those films, that were OK for that era of limited special effects and tougher censors.
