Blows my mind

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2019)

When I first watched this, I didn't finish it because I found the build up and flashbacks and exploring Superman's past and beginnings somewhat tedious. So, I made up my mind that I wouldn't bother finishing, though I found Russell Crowe's character excellent. But then my siblings started to watch it, so I thought I would give it a second chance.
And I'm glad I did.
While I didn't get to see the middle, I got to see the climax. And it's freaking awesome! It has great tension, an awesome villain, spectacular special effects (amongst the best I've seen), fantastic musical score. There were several times I thought 'this is the end', but it turned out that there was still more to go. And it doesn't disappoint. Very satisfying.
The acting is top notch and I think the person who does Superman does him wonderfully, possibly perfectly, though I can't judge that as this is the first Superman movie that I've seen and I've never read any of the comics.
Fantastic, fantastic movie.
