Visually stunning best 'serious' superhero action in a movie so far

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2013)

This movie is not your typical Superman portrayal of him in a colorful suit saving cats and damsels in distress. I saw it twice. Although i loved it the first time around, in the second viewing I completely understood why the writers and director took the approach of portraying this Superman the way they did. All the actors were great. Character development was kept to a minimal. The reason behind that decision is because it is a Superman origin story. The main focus was him. The action and visuals were beautiful and stunning. Best 'serious' superhero action in a movie so far. Throughout the movie you see the internal conflict Superman has to overcome. Not all is seriousness. Superman ends with a positive feel. He seems to feel relieved about all the conflicts he is having and shows us a lighter side of him by the end. The sequels to come are going to be as phenomenal. The director understands that in order to give fans the 'real' Superman he had to stray away from what we are accustomed to. How was Henry's performance? He was excellent as the new Superman. That man carries the suit with pride.
So please do your self a favor and do not listen to the 'professional' critics who are bashing this movie based on previous incarnations or lack of romance.
