One of the Better Superhero movies out there

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2013)

First of all I'd like to admit that I'm a movie buff. I watch movies a lot, but I don't watch them from a critics point of view. All I want is something engaging and entertaining! And even after watching so many Superhero movies, I found this one entertaining!
The movie starts with showing the whole Krypton situation and how Kal El came to Earth. CGI effects were good here. Russel Crowe was actually quite good as Jor El.
Not much is shown about the upbringing of Clark Kent. Only some flashes are shown that are relevant to the situation. No complaints there. Louis Lane however knows Superman's identity from the start, and I've mixed feelings about this.
Action sequences are good. I particularly liked the combat scenes between the Superman and two Kryptonians in Smallville. However, as the scene shifted to Metropolis, CGI became just too tiring. Also, in some scenes, Metropolis looked like a Ghost town and it felt like there are only 3 people in the entire city !(lol)
Some people complained about Henry Cavill being casted as Superman. But I think he did a great job. Rest of the cast was OK too. As for the controversial ending (Superman snapping Zod's neck), I totally buy Snyder's point of view that Superman's aversion to killing wasn't explained in the movie. And unless he has tried it, how can he be sure about it.
I'm sure the movie has its own share of flaws. But from an average moviegoer's point of view, the movie was different and engaging. I really hope they bring in a sequel :)
