The action movie of 2013.. or probably the best movie of 2013

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2013)

I am soo glad I watched this in the theater.. worth every penny. I am glad that Zach Snyder has helmed the microphone for this movie.. A lot of things are going for this movie.. the action.. mindblowing! the background score.. Encore! Some people might feel that there wasn't enough room left for character development but I beg to differ.. if they would have spent any more time than was necessary on character development this movie would have been another Ang Lee Hulk. We all know how that 'un turned out. From the beginning it holds your interest starting with an awesome opening sequence where Jor El away sends his only son to be saved. It is good that they have tried to establish the fact that Superman is in fact an alien and is as such regarded as such by the US army. It is good that they have approached this movie from the perspective that what if.. an alien who has all these powers were to be found walking among us.. as one of us.. a human. Just the right amount of footage is given to character development and then.. CGI extravaganza. I am so glad that Zack Snyder has directed this because with Superman there are no limits. At one point I almost felt like that I was watching an action Machinima. The action is definitely unparallelled in terms of superhero movies and I would go so far as to say that Avenger's comes a close second in the action department. Henry Cavill is the new Superman. Louis Lane is portrayed not as a damsel in distress.. she has a part to play in this movie and I liked that. Excellent!
