better than the last Superman retelling

Rating: 7/10 (8 April 2014)

I thought this Superman movie had a good story behind it even though it left out the humor that Christopher Reeves films had. It begins on Krypton and we see how Kal came to be and what his parents did to get him to Earth. And we learn about bad guy General Zod, whom was sentenced to being frozen but turned out to be good for him since he survived the planet explosion. They track Kal to Earth where he is Clark Kent and in this story not a reporter but a drifter, trying to hide his abilities but has a need to save people. He befriends Lois Lane and meets Zod, then they battle it out on earth. I thought the special effects were good with throwing each other through things and bringing down planes.
FINAL VERDICT: It was just an entertaining 2 hours plus movie. Worth checking out.
