Mixed feelings about this film

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2013)

Let me start by saying this film is very action packed and exciting.
I went to see it with my boyfriend and I took some persuading (not a fan of action films but also saw iron man 3 twice after enjoying it so much) so I gave it a go.
I found I was captivated by the hardships of superman, and how down to earth he was.
The relationship between him and his adoptive parents is lovely and heart warming, but also had me tearing up at parts due to the love and compassion that you could feel between the actors. I enjoyed the plot, since I went into the film completely oblivious and unknowing, unlike my boyfriend.
I enjoyed the romance, the thrills, the good looking Henry Cavill.
The parts I didn't enjoy, and maybe because I am a girlie girl, we're the fight scenes. In my opinion they dragged. Considering superman was supposed to be "indestructible" and a one of kind super hero, I felt his glory was sort of stolen by the fact that anyone from his planet can obtain these powers, it was a bit like having too many super hero people.
Also, when he was fighting the others from his planet, I thought it was never going to end, it was a bit weird to watch since neither of them appeared to get injured, it look like a battle that would last forever,
Other than that, I found the film to be enjoyable, deep and the animation and acting for the film was impeccable.
I recommend this film, but beware, if you have somewhere to get to, please see this film at least 3 hours in advance since it lasted a lot longer than I expected.
