FANTASTIC MOVIE! Brilliant action and storytelling

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2013)

10/10
I gave The Avengers 10/10 and it was my firm and vehement feeling that it could never ever be topped. But I am afraid to say that not only has superman attained such height, but has surpassed them in a single flight, and without having the audience giggling with laughter. It is a serious and superbly woven story, starting in Krypton, then departing for earth, and then melding the two worlds. The action scenes are breathtaking and more importantly, they are very well blended within the story. THERE ARE NO RUSHED ACTION AND FORCED action scenes, and that it is a little jewel in a crown full of little diamond scenes. The acting is TOP notch.
Crowe has so much panache. He made the first quarter of the movie regal. Handsome and never losing his well put haircut. Not many men since Bradley Cooper have been able to rock long hair but oh my, crow does it like he reared in into style aeons ago.
Cavill is a serious often morose never perky but self-assured and determined superman. He takes no prisoner in his approach to handling a tricky situation, most of it instilled by the sound bits of advice dispensed by his deceased father. He is SUPERMAN. A man that never wavers in the face of adversity.
My only little disappointment was how blandly the urgency of an imminent alien attack was handled. The president of the USA, that ever ubiquitous face when calamity comes to sow was conspicuous by its absence. There was no sense the authorities were bothered by the happening befalling earth.
But all in all, SUPERB ACTION. SUPREME ACTING MENTION TO GENERAL ZORD. GENERAL ZORD BY HIMSELF IS ONE REASON TO GO SEE THIS MOVIE AFTER CROW. JUST SUPREME ACTING FROM THIS GUY WELL DONE SIR.
Even the supporting cast (the kryptonian one) acts as if they were born and bred in Krypton. Very roughshod, life battened and hardened people (dour like the Scots). SUBLIME ACTING REALLY!
FULLY RECOMMEND. 5 STARS MOVIE 10/10
