Very good overall.

Rating: 9/10 (20 June 2013)

I have been a superman fan since seeing Christopher Reeves first appearance as the man of steel in the cinema in the 70's. I personally thought Brandon Routhe was excellent in Superman returns and was unsure about this new movie. I knew they would shake up the image, the story and the styling. However I was very pleased with this version all in all. It was very emotional in parts and had some great moments. Grumbles......there was no superman theme!!!! very disappointing! my kids and I were ultimately waiting for the proud moment were the superman music broke over the speakers and soup took flight, but alas we were let down. Grumble 2....there were no 'shirt rips' revealing the 'S' however the storyline did not allow for this, but probably will in a second movie, however that itch was scratched a little when Durrell showed his symbol in this fashion. All over though an excellent re do, very well cast, but I just hope that there is the good old Superman theme in the next one.
