Made in an era where people don't believe in hope. And hate it when its here.

Rating: 9/10 (19 March 2016)

A fantastic masterpiece, written by talented people, and directed by visionary Zack Snyder. This movie doesn't receive the credibility it deserves, since a true fan of both movies and comic-books would understand this crosses the paths equally. Unfortunately this film was trashed because of the tight grip which hinge on to the Nolan era; in which this film was compared too (unfairly at the least).This which in hindsight had people forget that this is a Superman movie and that it was trying to be MORE Superman.
Chocked full of references from almost every incarnation including All-Star Superman, Christopher Reeve Superman to even the canceled Tim Burton's Superman Lives. An incredible story which tells a memory lane origin for our man of steel, coming to blows with his last remaining of his kind, while trying to find a purpose in this strange world. I personally think this movie is a masterpiece, built on the construct of a very carefully thought through story. Also staying close to realism, giving him limits and strengths to even human-like morality.
An exceptional part would be the fight scenes, where as you can see Superman punch extremely hard with the other Kyrptonians as everything around them crumbles, but to each other, they are merely throwing light to harder punches. True the film looks grim, but behind that there is a symbol of hope which defines Superman as the movie progresses to its climax, where he has to decide the fate of this world and his people.
Overall the movie is beautiful, shot well, unforgettable action sequences and heavily symbolic, in which I would say a lot of modern superhero films misstep. It isn't a movie you should compare anything to or with, but should be respected for its efforts to re-create an image of a Superman that lives among the modern man.
Lastly the soundtrack for the film is legendary, with somber tones, to heroic overzealous waves of sounds and beats, the soundtrack is ethereal! With this Superman soundtrack by Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL, you will feel the sense of American heroism in every scene.
A film which be looked back on and said it was a classic. Let it be known as a personal classic for myself, and hopefully for others.
