A great superhero movie

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2017)

In order to prevent the extinction of a powerful race from the dying planet of Krypton, Clark is sent to earth as a baby boy. There, he must blend in, as a normal human, until a group of revengeful survivals of the same Krypton threaten to "clean" Earth in order to restore their race.
It's a superhero movie which presents the beginnings of Superman, his origins and how he became such a popular but mysterious character. Many events from his youth are also presented, thus slowly describing his evolution while desperately trying to keep his powers unknown to ordinary humans. It's packed up with action, drama and suspense, having a very serious approach in terms of plot and storytelling. And to be honest, I'm glad they chose this approach, as it made the whole idea a lot more suspenseful and dramatic, creating a catchy atmosphere. The visuals are top notch, every single sequence which features CGI looking simply astonishing; not to say that there are many, many of them. The plot is also well written and enrolled, making it a very good watch, especially thanks to its well designed and played characters.
I really enjoyed this movie! It managed to keep me interested and entertained from start to finish, without being boring, exaggerated or over prolonged, while providing satisfaction with many of its actions and its finale. It is a very good film overall, the only thing that restrained me from giving it a full ten stars was the fact that it wasn't as wow as I expected it to be. It is very good in every aspect, but doesn't impress in any either.
