A fine and promising start to the Superman movies

Rating: 8/10 (3 March 2015)

The film has all the elements needed for a successful Superman origin movie. The tone is dark and very realistic, and that's necessary because the man of steel cannot be viewed as a symbol of hope by the world just yet; he is still an alien that brings fear to civilians unwillingly. Therefore, it is to my belief that there is still little room for humor and a hero we all look up to. Also, every character role is well done: Cavill did great as our protagonist, Zod was also well portrayed, and although Lois Lane's character was well acted as well I felt it could've been pushed back a little more. I don't feel that Lois and Superman need to fall in love on the very. first movie. The score of Zimmer was successful in several of its individual themes, but I feel that there could've been a little more differentiation. Also, I felt that the action could've been reduced for the sake of making the action scenes much more unique and anticipated. All in all, the film serves as a great origin adaptation for the Man of Steel and it has more movies to expand upon some of its important elements.
