Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2013)

I have enjoyed this movie to the very end--and truly mean that. It seems that the latest superhero movies are finally beginning to get what people want--and in this case-expect to see from Superman. He was able to use his powers well and the sonic boom like take off was perfectly done so that people can feel how strong he really is. This was an origins movie so I do have a few annoyances that I will forgive but there are some that really question where they are going take the next movie--because they have to do another one. I mean, superman has to show how strong he is going be--if you are a lover of any comics--and have seen the cartoons--you already know he isn't as strong in this movie as he can/will become. I love how they did touch on how he must work to overcome the weakness felt about being on the Krypton ships. I loved how Lois was in the movie and it showed the bond that they are going to have and had begun to feel--but it didn't take over the movie--I would have lost it if they turned this into a freaking chick flick (and I am a chick)... My major annoyance that they really will have to fix in the next movie--superman does not kill people. He would have never bent down to kill Gen Zod. Superman stands for truth, justice, and the American way--he is honorable and of the highest integrity. He believes in justice and would not break that rule for any reason-even if it costs innocent lives because though he would want to save them-he won't kill another person to do it because he doesn't bend his personal values for anyone. He stands for us and with us when we aren't strong enough to do it alone. How dare you people compromise Superman's values. Additionally, in the comics/cartoons Zod is a great nemesis--one that wouldn't be killed in a 2.5h movie. One more thing-Lex Luthor--I mean, where was he?! I know you don't have to bring him immediately in but he is a great foe for superman--there could have at least been a teaser trailer at the end of the movie with just people walking around and a sly comment is just made by a bald man curious about another life form...so strong and powerful..i mean-anything to tie into the story--u could have also left Zod alive and did an enemy of my enemy is my friend with Zod and lex saving him to work together--then lex is betrayed by Zod--and lex and Superman have to work together and then lex goes after Superman. I mean--come on.... Also, what about a cross over--when the heck are you going bring in Wonder Woman!? She rocks and is incredible and strong for women to look up to. DC needs to do some cross overs--we love that stuff--seeing people working together--our heroes that we look to for guidance! (Channel the avengers movie....it rocked it out of this world).
