Just what the fans ordered

Rating: Null/10 (15 June 2013)

With the second major progression of superhero movies, it just keeps getting better and better. Ultimately, the CGI elements are what make these kind of movies possible, or else it's back to the dark ages of film. This version of Superman will not disappoint. The fact the Goyer and Nolan are a part of the screenplay says everything. They know their comic book history. Remember how detailed The Dark Knight trilogy was in contrast to the origin stories?? The writing style of Nolan's is present, but not as predominant as it was in Batman Begins. Even though some of the concepts were tweaked, it is a great storyline that was over-due for Superman. For those who remember the version with Christopher Reeve, the storyline helps explain the introductory scene of the original '77 version much better, and even though the black Spandex from the Superman II villains doesn't come right away, it does not disappoint. The action doesn't slow down and for a traditional two hour and twenty time frame, it takes up every minute of the film.
