Steely and gritty and refreshing...

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2013)

I was pretty skeptical to watch this movie to tell you the truth because well after The Avengers, my expectations were like SKY HIGH!!! But needless to say, this a very unique take on superman and I love the dark, somewhat broody new superman a lot!!
Very tastefully made and thank you for introducing superman's parents too. That was also another new aspect for this movie.
However, I wish Lois Lane's character had a bit more to it rather than what has been done. Maybe its just me or because its what Iron Man 3 and The Avengers did for me, but I'd really appreciate if the female protagonists get meatier roles too. Its not a one-man show after all.
And last but not the least, the romance between Lois and Clark??? Well there was no fire and that's another aspect of the movie that did not go down well for me. But overall a superb take on Superman. Henry Cavill is undoubtedly the best choice.
