The Superman we all have been waiting for!

Rating: 9/10 (14 June 2013)

First time ever writing a review on this site even though I am a member for a long time. Felt the need to do so because of all the unfair criticism that this movie is receiving by big time "critics", which are all bitter bs in my honest opinion. This is literally the Superman movie we 've all been waiting! I am a long time comic fan of both Superman and Batman and I was quite sad that one of my favourite superheroes did not have a solid modern iteration in the big screen. This movie just did that for me with style. The non-stop action is just spectacular and the new take on the myth is fresh and engaging. When you see 3 kryptonians exchanging punches like speeding bullets there is something right going on there. Henry Cavill even though he did not have enough dialogue made a very believable Superman and some of his expressions were spot on. Russel Crowe and Kevin Costner gave brilliant performances as always and Amy Adams was solid as Lois Lane. Top acting award for this movie though goes to the villain (this seems to be a trend with DC movies lately) Zod, where Michael Shannon gave one of his best performances and provided for a magnificent ending. Also liked the way that the movie wanted to draw some similarities between Superman and Jesus, the church scene was a very good moment for me in the movie. Some of the cons of this movie for me were how Jonathan Kent died and how Lois was all over the place in the end (Superman and Zod go to space and come back and Lois by coincidence is near their final fight). Other than that this is the top blockbuster movie for me this year and perhaps the best superhero movie I 've ever watched! 10/10
