Not what I expected but good

Rating: 7/10 (16 February 2014)

First of all, I absolutely LOVE Henry Cavill! I have been a fan of his since he was on "The Tudors". I was so rooting for him to be cast as Christian Grey but that is a different story.
I liked the casting of this movie for the most part. Henry Cavill as Superman was obviously a good choice. Even though Superman was not technically human, I felt Henry's portrayal made him seem like someone I could emphasize with. Clark was always trying find where he belonged and what he was meant to do with his life. Something many of us Earth bound people should be familiar with!
Both Russel Crowe and Kevin Costner did a wonderful job as the fathers'. Diane Lane was also a great choice as Clark's mom.
I didn't care for Amy Adams as Lois Lane though. She was a take charge kind of girl but I found it hard to believe she really had a "connection" with Clark Kent. No there wasn't a lot of romance, which was fine, but I think her character shouldn't have taken such an active role in this story.
Basically, I felt this film was trying to show the audience more of the history, which I liked. The action was good and the special effects were phenomenal. I walked away from this film knowing there had to be a sequel and curious to see what Zack Snyder has in store.
