Conflicting Feelings

Rating: 7/10 (29 June 2013)

Being that I'm only 20-something and I haven't seen the 70's/80's Superman films, I can't whole hardheartedly say that this is the best Superman ever made but it is the best I've ever seen.
I grew up watching the comic books my dad used to read turn into motion pictures. I've spent those long hours in line waiting for the midnight premiere of Spiderman or avoiding any social networking until I was able to see the newest superhero film, in fear that someone might ruin it for me.
With that said, I was a little disappointed with the Superman. I'll admit it, once I saw Christoper Nolan as a producer I immediately associated this film with the Dark Knight. While Superman did share the dark/gloomy but bad-ass tone that the Dark Knight has, to rush to compare them was a mistake.
I think I was hoping for a more quote-ready film or to feel a stronger connection to Superman. Also, some scenes seemed rushed, while others were phenomenal. To be honest, I'm not sure what I was looking for but I know I didn't leave the film feeling completely satisfied.
But that didn't stop me from going to see it a second time ;)
