A great story for a 75 year legend.

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 2016)

This movie is amazing and a great start to establish the style for this universe. The movie starts very big and epic on the last days of krypton with an excellent performance by Russell Crowe as Jor el, Ayelet Zurer as Lara and Micheal Shannon as Zod. Jumping in to the present of the movie we see a Superman trying to find out who he is. Henry Cavills Superman is amazing and the way he embodies him and how different he is, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane were perfect as his adoptive parents. The tone and style of this movie is excellent, the theme that can a alien be accepted in this world, if you are a father raising an alien how to protect him and knowing to have all the powers to save lives and remain hidden with fear how the world will accept you. Zod in this movie is great a complex villain that thinks that what he is doing is the right thing even if he is wrong to be a little bit over shadowed by Faora (Antje Traue) excellent performance. Its a well written drama with a lot of soul in it that have been overshadowed and blindsd people with simplistic and mediocre film making from other superhero films.
