Superman is Back!

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2013)

If ever anyone needed to know who Superman is, watch this movie. For this generation are lucky to have the man of steel in his full glory. For fans of the comics, older movies & TV series, the origin has been done & shown in many different ways but all share the one fact that Kal-el was sent to earth as a baby. I personally like this beginning & have to applaud the writers, Goyer & Nolan, and Snyder for executing it extremely well & also showing us a more realistic Krypton. I was not expecting a Dark Knight kind of film which is filled with intelligent dialogue, but was delighted the approach was more centred on a young and growing Clark, who is struggling to understand who he is & the many questions he has about his origin. I also felt this allowed me to understand him on a more normal scale & relate to him & as much as he had super powers, yet had the thinking of humans & that is because of the morality that was instilled in him by his adoptive parents Martha and Jonathan Kent. I found the movie to be more engaging as it went on & when the battles began, I was in DC comic's fantasy Universe! I absolutely loved the action sequences & was totally in awe of the realism of the fights. Beings that are made of steel when in battle will cause destruction within a city and Zack Snyder totally delivered that too! Overall, its an excellent start for a new series of Superman movies & I am extremely excited to see whether these movies will lead to a Justice League or maybe a Superman/Batman film. The Easter eggs were nice! 10/10
