Nice Superman reboot...

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2013)

First of all, good choice in casting Henry Cavill as Superman. I think he was better than Brandon Routh in Superman Returns. The movie showed us enough background story for the Superman character, right from when he was born, the explosion of Krypton up until he was recognized as Superman on earth. I'm not a big fan of movies with lots of flashbacks but in this movie the flashbacks were actually quite enjoyable. Other casts were exceptional too, especially Russel Crowe as Jor-El and he played a big part in the movie. Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent was also OK and he showed how far a father would go to protect his son. Could do better with Lois Lane though. Laurence Fishburne as Perry White was not so bad. Overall, it was an entertaining movie right from the start, but the fighting sequence was a bit too fast to be enjoyable (but what do you expect from Superman when he's faster than a bullet). Overall score 8/10 and maybe going to try to watch for 2nd time in 3D.
