A fun and entertaining movie but not as good as I expected. Do not expect the feel of the Christopher Reeve movies. I say B.

Rating: 7/10 (19 June 2013)

"You're not just anyone. One day, you're going to have to make a choice. You have to decide what kind of man you want to grow up to be. Whoever that man is, good character or bad, it's going to change the world." After the imminent death of the planet Krypton, Jor-El (Crow) sends his only son to Earth in order to let him live. From the moment he arrives he notices he is different. When another survivor from the planet arrives and plans to destroy Earth it is up to Superman (Cavill) to save the world. I was super excited (get it) to see this movie. I think that may have hurt my enjoyment of it a little. While the movie is very good and has a much deeper and grown up story then the ones I grew up with it just didn't have the feel I wanted. The writer and director made Superman seem very human which is a neat idea but that also seem to hurt the movie in my opinion. The fight scenes were exciting but after awhile they started to feel very repetitive. The fight scenes also made Superman seem anything but super to me, which is my biggest problem with the movie. All that said the movie is entertaining and worth watching but I think my expectations were just a little too high. Overall, a good movie but do not expect the feel of the Christopher Reeve movies. I give it a B.
