New generation Superman

Rating: 8/10 (2 April 2016)

I recently watched Batman vs Superman and found myself having to watch Man of steel once more. I'm not sure if it was because I wanted or hoped for a better Superman than the first instalment. I was not disappointed with Zack Synders take on Superman in fact I loved some of the new ideas that came from this movie. I grew up loving Richard Donners Superman and Christopher Reeve will most probably always be my favourite. Along with John Williams score I can see how hard it was going to be to make the hero come to life in a new way. I think Zack Synder has done a great job breaking away from all the previous Supermen and Hans Zimmer done a fantastic score. Man of steel has been brought into today's world with today's problems. Henry Cavil is an awesome Superman and does the character justice. Amy Adams is a great actress and also done well as Lois Lane. I would have liked to seen less Cgi and a little bit more light heartiness come through in the script because Man of steel does tend to take itself a bit too serious. I didn't want a Dark Knight reinvention. I really like the flight scenes especially The First flight! I know that superman would be super quick and the fight scenes do tend to show this a little too often. Everyone will have a different take on this movie and I know comments come thick and fast. I believe that Richard Donners Superman hit the nail on the head "You'll believe an man can fly" and I did! When I first watched Superman I believed a man could fly. Being only 8 it was a lot more convincing. The point I'm trying to put across is that we know how fast and quick Superman is but let's slow it down a little and embrace "The Flight".
