This Is the Superman Movie I've Been Waiting for

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2013)

I really don't understand why many critics don't like this movie. Come on, Superman is not Batman. Superman has superhuman powers while Batman has not, so, the movie should be packed with destructive actions, given that the bad guys have the same powers as Superman himself. And given the super powers that Superman has, this movie also should be packed with CGI.
Story wise, this movie do have a story to tell, not just actions and CGI. Superman's background story and Zod's motive are quite interesting to be told. And in my opinion, the drama and the action in this movie are balanced. I mean, this movie should have long action sequences because the bad guys are not easy to subdue. They have super powers too. The fights should be long and hard and destructive. If the dramatic element is to be expanded more, the movie would've been longer and more boring (for comparison, in my opinion, The Dark Knight Rises, although it is a good movie, is long and some parts are dragged and boring).
Character wise, they are absolutely not one dimensional. Nobody is genuinely good or genuinely bad. As the good guy, Clark has his own doubt. As he is different from the others, he at first hesitated to show his true power, fearing that he would not be accepted in the planet he lived. And the bad guy, Zod has his own motive too, which was actually quite a noble one, although he has chosen a not quite noble way to do it. In this movie, Zod is not the megalomaniac that he was in other portrayals.
For the Superman character I'll give 10 out of 10. And for movie itself, I'll give 8 out of 10. This is one good and entertaining movie. And this is the Superman movie I've been waiting for, although it can always be made a little better.
