I came out surprised from this reboot.

Rating: 9/10 (12 September 2014)

Let me tell you something, I remember seeing the teaser trailer (when I was there going to see The Dark Knight Rises with my dad as always) a year before the movie came out in theaters a year later. I had mixed feelings about it by the teaser. On one hand, you have filmmakers like Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan making a grittier and serious Superman movie, to me it sound like a match made in heaven. But on the other hand, before this one the recent Superman film we had was Superman Returns and that movie was a big disappointment, and Zack Snyder did do Sucker Punch, which wasn't the best movie that Snyder had ever done. To be fair though, I'm not much of a big Superman fan, I just know very well about the franchise. Anyways, a year later after that, I saw it in theaters on the day it came out (June 14, 2013) with my dad and brother. We didn't expect anything from it. But what we saw blown away from our expectations. It was the day that I finished middle school, and I'll never forget that great experience. Now, on to the movie.
I heard lies from people (the ones that are obviously trolls) told me that the film sucks because of stupid reasons. They complained about Superman killed Zod (spoilers!). Really guys, did you seen Superman actually killed Zod in Superman 2? They complained about how Superman damaging everything. Sounds like you haven't even seen the movie, the only ones that are making damages to some towns and cities were Zod, his army, and the US Marines. Superman done little damage. The only damage that Superman did was this mountain, and even then no one was in the mountain. There was one guy on this website that I know of (I'm not telling you the name of that person, but let's just say he won't be on this website any longer) that think like Zack Snyder is the worst director in the world because of stupid reasons. Dude (the troll I'm talking to), did Snyder do something in your life? He didn't do anything, heck no one including himself, that made the movie, will ever listen to you because all you want is nothing but attention.
For the movie itself, I thought almost everything (and I mean almost) about it was perfect. The acting is great, everyone did a great job for what they had. The visuals are just as fantastic as any movie that Snyder had ever directed. The writing is great for the most part. And the running time honestly didn't ruined my experience as much as some people had. Everything you can think for technical stuff is pitch perfect. The score may not replicate to John Williams's score to Superman 1&2, but for what it is, it was fantastic. Again, I may not be a Superman fan, but I did enjoyed the first two original movies, the cartoon show, and the comic books as well. After all of the campy stuff that the Superman movies have (even though I liked 1&2), and after the second one, the later movies became not so good especially Superman 4 with that Nuclear Man. For this movie though, I'll say it's nice to change things up a bit, it is a reboot after all.
However, I do admit that there are flaws to this movie. What I meant by almost is that the flashbacks sequences does seems to make the movie at a stop sometimes. And there are some contrived plot-holes as well. And the romance between Superman (or Clark Kent if you want to call him that) and Lois Lane did felt kinda forced. But really, those are the minor problems that I have with the movie.
Overall:
Unlike my previous reviews (except for the Mission To Mars review) that I told you if I can recommend a movie or not, this one however I'm gonna let you decide what you thought about the movie after you saw it. It's your opinion anyway because film is subjective, not something that everyone is going to agree on. For me, I liked this movie a lot and I thought it was a great way to reboot the franchise. If you didn't like the movie that much, I had no problems with that. Just don't be like one of those trolls to think that it's bad and they think that everyone agreed to them, which it'll never be like that because look at the rating score that this movie had? It's like 7.3 out of ten. I'm now anticipating for that Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice movie even if it had Jesse Eisenberg playing as Lex Luthor.
Score: 9.7/10
