Again, I don't usually write reviews, but I feel compelled to this time considering the mixed to negative reaction this is getting from critics. First of all, all I can say is that whatever movie the "critics" were watching, must have really been a different movie. Or they had blindfolds on. Don't listen to the negative hype. This has happened with countless movies before. A week before a movies release all of these "edgy" and "original" critics will give negative reviews toward a movie. A lot of the complaints are actually things that work in this movies favor.
This movie is much more serious than the previous Superman movies. This isn't Superman Returns serious. This is, "the shizzle just got real" serious. People were complaining about how dark and serious this was. With all the events happening in this movie it would be highly inappropriate to have jokes thrown in. There was so much death and violence. This movie also has a lot of action. Many people said it was over the top. It damn well should be. This is hands down the best portrayal of Superman's capabilities in any movie we've seen so far. Henry Cavill is Superman to me now. I always liked Reeve, but damn, this guy is Superman. Amy Adams was alright as Lois Lane, and I'm sure here character will grow in future films. The rest of the cast is very good. Zod, though different from Stamp, is pretty fierce. This Zod is much more menacing.
This movie might just be the best superhero movie ever. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. It had the action of the Avengers, and in moments, the heart of the Batman movies. Don't go in expecting The Dark Knight though. This is a balls to wall action movie. We see Superman kick some serious ass in this and if this is the DC movie to kick off what will be a swarm of DC movies, then I'm a happy camper.
9.5/10
