It gets better with more watches

Rating: 9/10 (4 January 2020)

I originally watched this in the cinema and came away massively disappointed. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that I hated it. Expectations created a different movie in my head with John Williams music playing the Superman theme in moments of glory... I didn't get this.
Move forward a couple of months and it's released on DVD, do I decided to give it another chance. I was more impressed but still not the euphoria I'd come to know from watching my favourite super hero. After all, this is Superman.
Fast forward to 2019 and this is one of my favourite movies, up there with The Avengers movies and Chris Nolan's Batman. The more I watched it the more I saw how utterly brilliant it is, seeing new and different things during each watch. The story has been put together fantastically and the opening scene is probably my favourite in movie history. Cavill is an amazing Superman and first the part brilliantly. And of course Kevin Costner plays the part of his dad, and Costner is awesome in every role.
