A Masterpiece.

Rating: 8/10 (15 June 2013)

I went in expecting a great film, I came out absolutely speechless. Every single element of it was brilliant. Yes, it did seem slightly jumpy at the beginning, but in reflection I think it just makes it more efficient, so as to avoid being slow, and yes, the Lois relationship did escalate quickly. There were slight imperfections, but nothing to get hung up on, this is an action movie after all. The second he hits Zod for the first time (outside his home) I went ecstatic. The action managed to be consistent and lengthy but at no point boring, nor did it seem overdone, the story and characters were at the heart of every battle, making it respectable and awe-inspiring. + The way the action was presented on screen was quite original and extremely effective, particularly the first flight scene which was just exhilarating. Anyone who refuses to enjoy this film, I feel bad for you because that was one of the best cinema experiences I have ever had. Far from generic, it had no real plot failings and it was fast, beautiful, thrilling, funny(in parts), exciting, touching, mesmerising and most of all... epic. Beautifully epic. It had it all. One of the best films I have ever seen.
