One of those movies that will make you leave the theater with a BIG smile!! MOS was truly an Epic beginning.

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2013)

Firstly, I am a great sic-fi fan and I don't prefer Marvel over DC and vice-versa. I had enormous expectations and was actually disappointed by the initial Critic reactions, and after seeing it I can only say, 'WOW'!!
Let me first start with the CONS:
1.) The action was a tad bit too long. Now as a fan of previous Die Hard (not Die Hard 5) and the F&F franchise, I love action and this film has plenty, actually a bit too plenty for my liking but it doesn't become a bore. Only if they would have shortened the last sequence by about 7-8 minutes, then it would be good. But again, this is my opinion.
2.) The pacing of the movie was absolutely bonkers. It's one of the most fastest pacings iv'e seen in a movie and I don't blame Zach Snyder for it. There is so much of the story to portray in just two and a half time-frame.
3.) Wrong timing of the kiss between Clark and Lane. Seriously Zach could have just ditched that part and still wouldn't make any difference in the movie. I found it to be a bit forced.
4.) Dialogues were really mediocre, they never really stick to you. I really don't remember any lines except "He'll be a God to them." I for one love brilliant dialogues like in TDK.
Now the PROS:
1.) Perfect casting!! Everyone fitted their roles perfectly and I for one actually liked Amy Adams as Louis Lane. Henry Cavill is Superman for me.
2.) The Kryptonian sequence was the best part of the film, absolutely brilliant. Never will you see a better Krypton in a film and Russell Crowe as Jor-El was fantastic.
3.) What can I say about the CGI filled action...Biblical, Epic and SUPER is exactly what they were. The BEST CGI effects i've seen ever! (I've seen Oblivion and can assure the CGI in MOS is better) Zach truly delivered in the visuals as expected and the action is very fast but easy to follow.
4.) I really liked the story. I thought it was a proper interpretation of Superman's origin. It might be a little less developed, but it never leaves you with confusion or a need of more story.
5.) That score from Hans Zimmer!!! Good lord that was brilliant! Literally heart POUNDING!! Suit the movie really well.
6.) The suit doesn't look gay anymore. (IMO its very good and modern)
7.) Darker tone of MOS was a big welcome. It brought in a sense of realism to it. But it isn't too dark so as to make children cry. (There were at least 20 kids below 10 years in the theater and not a squeak from them, one of them actually was shouting "SUPERMAN'S AWESOME" after the movie.
8.) This movie thoroughly settles Superman as a Superhero of the world and leaves the Clark- Lane story for the next installment.
Finally, this movie is definitely worth the money (see in 2d if possible, 3d doesn't do any good). It's a feel good, popcorn, fan based movie which is satisfying and gives you a perfect start to the probable Justice League franchise!!
An 8.5/10 from me.
