Not the best, but not the worst. Above average. An honest review

Rating: 6/10 (17 June 2013)

The trouble with any superman story is he is virtually impossible to kill and therefore loses a lot of excited in the plot. We all know he can't be killed. But by god this film could potentially contain some mind blowing set pieces. I mean Neo from the matrix rescuing Morpheus on top of truck on the freeway in Matrix Reloaded, for me is the nearest thing to Superman (and that was filmed about 10 years ago) to say that 'MoS' ten years on did not have set pieces is somewhat a sad but true statement.
There's Lots of noisy explosions and plenty of pleasing building blowing up eye candy. The fight scenes in smallville and metropolis was very repetitive ( a lot of throwing body's through the wall) but impressive but nothing we haven't seen before.
The biggest problem for me was that the action was too fast, way too fast, blink and you'll miss it.
The music was brilliant until it started to grind and repeat itself after the first hour and a half.
God I wanted to so like this film and like the dark knight rises I was (and still) so disappointed. The acting was good M Shannon's character is flawless and Henry C's innocence is perfect and then we have Amy's next door Lois lane is spot on and the older actors were all great.
Superb flash back scenes of the younger Clark Kent but batman begins already did that 7 years ago, nothing new here but the excellent flash back scenes gels the story together seamlessly.
I've read some 1 star reviews on IMDb and I think that these review are very very unfair and absolutely wrong but giving the film 10 stars is also wrong. 6.5, maybe even a 7 out of ten I'd say. Worst bits- action way too fast and repetitive. Best bits- flash backs of young Kent at school and at his teenage life.
