Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2013)

i'm not a native English speaker. so pardon my mediocre language skill and lets move on with the review.it was released here yesterday and since i was absolutely hyped by the trailers i went to the third showing. The movie starts off with the birth scene of kal-el in krypton. a good bit of time is spent on showing krypton in a way we have not seen before in a movie. People are complaining about being overfed with superman origins stories, but to be fair it made sense. This is a clean reboot after all. it is was cool to see snyder's take on the story that everybody is familiar with. supes childhood scenes are all flashbacks as the older (33 years to be exact) clark tries to find his place in this world. Doing one odd job after another. also helping people out in the meantime. here i want to clear something up. people are complaining about lack of comedy, some are even going as far to saying as comic relief is non-existent. Thats not totally true, there were some scenes that resulted in a collective chuckle in the audience. i was absorbed so i didn't really notice audience. it has emotions. When supes takes the first flight you will feel elated, when he is bullied you will sense how hard it is for him to control himself from retaliating. you will feel sorry for his losses. there is a sense of trepidation when an unsure and nervous superman deals with the first truly powerful enemies of his life. you can sense that he is a little afraid. and simultaneously he exudes such confidence in his strides that you know whatever the obstacle is he is determined enough to overcome it. the movie is serious. superman means business here. The story is predictable but it never gets boring or monotonous. acting was pretty good. Henry Cavill makes one helluva superman.The romance between him and lois though, is a little bland. But this movie is not about clark and lois. The action, on the other hand, makes up for all the meek superman renditions we had to sit through before. it is physical and the fights leaves such wake of destruction in its path thats hard to imagine let alone visualize. you can finally get a hint of how powerful supe really is. Zod was OK. Faora on the other hand is one bad-a$$ chick. There are references to lex and BW as most of u might already know. i knew how it would end so the last scene didn't surprise me. but there was a gasp heard from the audiences as superman snaps Zod's neck in the final scene to save a family. in the final scene we get to see the bespectacled clark getting welcomed at the ''planet'' (read daily planet) by a bemused lois (who knows his secret).
it is one heck of a journey ZS takes you through. This superman, albeit a little grim, is far more relatable than any i have seen before. and the world is ready for him, What do you think?
