All out action and sets up nicely for no.2

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2013)

First and foremost, this film is a spectacular action movie, regardless of your stance on superhero proper-gander. Of course being a Zack Snyder film, all out bloodshed and destruction comes as standard, but the balance between this and the subtle, powerful scenes between the characters is a welcome intrusion.
Mixing both past and present events from Clarks life, and letting us see how key events have shaped his development allowed us to see a real in- depth look at to how this great being was nurtured into the great symbol of hope he later became. The cleverly structured film - although it stutters in some parts - has a nice, clean flow to it and is a fresh take on the superman genre.
DO NOT LISTEN TO CRITICS' REVIEWS!!! Critics have come down hard and I do not know why. Is it a vendetta against Snyder?? The user reviews speak for themselves.
Last of all, I will reiterate my earlier point... this film isn't just for hardcore superhero franchise fans. I took my girlfriend to see this and she was drawn to tears within the first 20 minutes. It sets up nicely the sequel in which (hopefully) they will further explore the relationship between Lois and Clark.
We look forward to the continuing franchise and expectations have certainly risen for the sequel...A must see.
