Spectacular

Rating: 7/10 (15 June 2013)

MOS might seem loud to some, but I thought it had the perfect balance of character and action. The film seemed to have the whole Superman is Jesus metaphor, but I didn't mind it all. In fact it makes complete sense given the context of the film.
Henry Cavill is very good as Superman. There were a few parts where I could hear his British accent slipping, but otherwise he fit the part, he was very suave and handsome (I'm not gay BTW).
Amy Adams is given a lot to do as Lois Lane. In fact she has a lot more screen time than I expected. The relationship between Superman and Lois is not exactly "great" in this film per say, but Adams and Cavill have very good chemistry between each other, and the fact that Lois knows who Superman is off the bat, made it all the more better.
Michael Shannon is decent as Zod, but I must admit his voice is somewhat of a turn off for me, so I couldn't take him completely serious in the role. The fact that Zod isn't exactly a villain, but someone who believes what he's doing is right, made the portrayal of the character, better than how he was portrayed in Superman 2.
Crowe as Jor-EL is good, but he seemed to be slumming it a little. He seemed to have too little energy.
Fishburne as Perry White was fine, but he really wasn't given enough to do (which is to be expected). He was very demanding and bossy, much like Perry White would be.
Costner and Lane are good, but they didn't have much screen time, so I didn't feel they brought much to the table.
Again the 3D brought nothing new to the table. It was a complete waste of money (as usual).
Also Jenny Olsen (or just Jenny) didn't play much of a role in this film (as I expected), but I must admit she was given a good scene.
I hope this film is successful enough to start a DCMU, however given WB's slow track record; it'll be a long time before we see a DC adaption that isn't Superman or even Batman.
