The Superman Movie we've been waiting for. *Minor Spoilers*

Rating: 7/10 (15 June 2013)

This movie does true justice to Superman's origin for the modern age. It starts with a great battle on the planet of Krypton. The Kryptonians have advanced weapons, ships, armor which makes this first battle seem like a sci-fi epic akin to say Star Wars, Star Trek, or Battlestar Galatica. Let me not even beat around the bush this is a superhero film, but David S. Goyer does a great job making it obvious that Kal-el is an alien, so we'll there will be many sci-fi elements to the film. That part is even more emphasized because of the films villains, General Zod, Faora, and the other Kryptonians going to Earth, a more primitive civilization(at least in terms of technology) than their own.
After arriving to earth the movie does have a pacing issue due to using flashbacks to tell Superman's past on Earth. It isn't until Clark Kent/Kal-el (at this point)reaches the Fortress of Solitude does the film pick back up and he dons the Cape and become Superman.
Now without trying to spoil anything the 2nd act of the movie it shifts over to over the top action. Which isn't a bad thing this is a superhero movie first and foremost. So as Superman clashes with Zod and his crew there is a heavy dependence on CGI, which looks exceptionally good, but expect the CGI haters to do what they do best when reading or hearing it from them.
To sum it all up, this film does a great deal to show Supes struggle to accept his role on the world, being ostracized for most of his life having powers and the sudden appearance of the banished Kryptonians plays into this struggle even more. This film does great justice to Superman, he still is about truth, justice, and the American way. He's may not be as cheery and light-hearted as this 1978 Christoper Reeve Superman, but don't forget this is a reboot, and in turn a new Superman.
Give this film a shot, superhero fan or not it's worth a viewing.
