Finally Superman is Superman

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2013)

I didn't have high expectations going in to this movie, especially after the appalling mess that was The Dark Knight Rises. However I would go beyond "pleasantly surprised" and say it left me with a buzz. Cavill really looked the part, the pacing of the movie worked well for me, and I thought it was the first movie that captured what it would be like for someone like Kal El growing up so different on another world.
It is also the first time Superman has been.. well.. SUPER. Every other movie has portrayed him as pretty much a human with powers. Man of Steel was a movie about a guy so much beyond human that we can not even compare.
Perfect movie? No. Great Superman movie? Heck Yes!
