Best SuperMan movie made by far, score 8 out of 10

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2013)

DO NOT go expecting see a "Dark Knight" like character just because Christopher Nolan and David Goyer wrote this movie. This is not at 1970s remake of a Christopher Reeves type of hero. This Superman is a new, fresh, well needed look on our favorite hero: SuperMan. Awesome Special effects. The opening scene on planet krypton was cool enough to make a movie just with that story. The fight sequences were AWESOME . General Zod's duo of Fao-Ra and Tor-Ran( the really Big dude with the mask) provided Kal-El with a very formidable foe. Feo-Ra was actually pretty bad ass. Henry Cavill looked like what a "Man of Steel" should look like. I didn't like Louis Lane in this film. Also, General Zod didn't really "scare" me the way The Joker and Bane did in the "Dark Knight" movies. Don't get me wrong Michael Shannon was a good General Zod, I just wanted him to be more evil. You have to remind yourself again that these people are "Aliens" from another planet, so as a villain they would think and ACT differently. The beginning of Clark Kent I thought they could have done a better job of letting us know what he was thinking. He didn't speak much at first, but as the movie continued he felt like he was a believable "SuperMan". Again, this is NOT Batman begins so the whole origin story was kind of a flash back to when he was a kid and not like a SuperMan in training movie. In closing, and not to spoil the movie, I give it very strong "B+". I will review this film again so maybe I will switch to an "A". This movie was full filling yes, But left me curious and hungry for more. It will be interesting to see what they will do next as the events left the "door" open to soooooooo much.
