Only one man's opinion....

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2014)

Where to Start?
I will first off say I am a big DC fan and have read a fair amount of material but I am by no means an encyclopedia of comic book knowledge. I have always been a great believer in watching a film expecting nothing and accepting it in its genre. Don't watch this movie and expect a period epic. Having said that if you like comic book movies then this is the nuts!
Therefore, I'm not going to moan about what Superman would and would not do. Superman is an icon and in this film you see a true representation of an alien trying to fit in on Earth (as much as we Earthlings can portray it I guess).
Henry Cavill is great as Kal-el and fills the boots nicely nicely. The plot moves from his birth on Krypton to his acceptance on Earth as you would expect and Snyder paces the story perfectly.
The action and effects are superb and the soundtrack is thumpingly good.
Do yourself a favour and leave your preconceptions at the door and just enjoy a very well crafted movie that will have you entertained throughout.
I personally think that Zack Snyder is the right man to bring the DC canon to the screen in spectacular fashion and this is just the start of a lot of awesomeness to come.
