A more realistic Superman

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2013)

This version of superman is a great one, first of all we see the background of krypton how they avoid natural child births and the way the refuse to leave krypton even if they have the technology and ended rushing the end of their planet. One think i would have liked is that they added the part that people from krypton couldn't leave the planet because of a genetic defect added a thousand of year ago by the eradicator (all in the comics).
Later we see a well made story about Clark's travel around the world, with a couple of flashbacks about his younger days, we see a more human Jonathan Kent who knows what will happen if people discover about Clark's superpowers, who teach him how to be a good person but also a dad worried about his son that will say/do anything to try to protect him.
We see a Lois Lane who is a good representation of the comics, a woman who travels around the world searching for the next story, a woman who is clever and can track Clark following only rumors until she can get the full picture, that is the Lois Lane all the comics fans know a woman who get things done.
Then we see general zod ship arriving earth demanding the surrender of Kal-El, and guess what Clark surrender to humanity telling them that he is one of them and he is a friend, he goes with general zod only to find that he will kill every human and create a new krypton.
One thing i didn't like is about the ship atmosphere they leave a lot to the speculation. Kryptonite, Red Sun, those are superman weakness, they should had stay with that.
Now we enter into a non-stop action scenes watching superman fight with people with the same powers as him, outnumbered, and almost defeated at times.
I read about people complaining about how superman didn't move the fight to an empty place,i think that people never read a superman comic, like when he fight Doomsday he destroyed a lot of metropolis, or while fighting metalo or lobo or some enemy that have similar powers to him.
Then we arrive to the climax when he is fighting General Zod, when he realized the only way to stop him is to kill him, when Zod said that he is soulless and he wont stop no matter what, that he was raised to be a warrior and to protect krypton.
And to the people who said that Superman do not kill they are so wrong, in the comics superman EXECUTED general zod with kryptonite, he killed doomsday to stop him, He always protected the human race no matter what.
In resume is a great reboot, with a couple of winks to fans (lexcorp everywhere) with a couple of details that could have been dealt better, but those details only will bother really big fans of superman that know a lot of the Comics.
