"Good Comic Book Adaptation!"

Rating: 7/10 (30 June 2013)

Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Russell Crowe, Michael Shannon, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner and Laurence Fishburne star in this 2013 action film based on the DC Comics. This begins in another galaxy on planet, Krypton where scientist, Jor-El (Crowe) sends his infant son, Kal-El to Earth before corrupt Kryptonian, General Zod (Shannon) tries to stop him. Before Krypton's destruction, Zod kills Jor-El before being imprisoned and We meet up with Kal-El who lives as Clark Kent (Cavill) learning he was raised in Kansas by adopted parents, Jonathan (Costner) and Martha (Lane). We also meet Daily Planet reporter, Lois Lane (Adams) who encounters Clark and discovers he's not from Earth. Soon, Zod comes to Earth after being set free from the phantom zone and challenges Clark to surrender. Clark makes a difficult choice for the fate of the planet to battle Zod where he proves to be a symbol of hope and justice. Fishburne plays Perry White, Editor & Chief of The Daily Planet. This is a good comic book adaptation with a good cast, neat effects and excellent score by Hans Zimmer as usual. I recommend this, especially for comic book fans.
