So here's where I am with Superman. I've never been a huge fan, and maybe you need to read the comics to appreciate him, or maybe the old movies didn't do him justice or maybe he's just not my kind of hero?
I will say this. Go in with low expectations and you will be happy. Go in expecting the Avengers and you will laugh your way out of the cinema. But come on. No film will match The Avengers until Avengers 2 comes out.
So as I say I go in with low expectations and I was pleasantly suprised. It's Superman, there's a certain amount of cheesy dialogue I reluctantly agreed but I felt Zack Snyder's take was much more satisfying. We have a villain that is finally on the same level of Superman without relying on a little lump of rock.
It's a long film but I did enjoy it. There are frequent changes of pace and scenery which helps.
Oh and I love what they've done with Lois! I don't want to spoil it but I feel she holds her own. Previous incarnations are smart but you don't see the evidence of that like you do here.
All in all I think this film is worth seeing at least once and I am interested in seeing where they will take this version. I won't be buying the DVD though.
