I simply skipped it after reading
that it was another reboot – right after the disaster called “Amazing Spiderman”
which left me heartbroken – that was one movie I will always remember cause I
almost walked out midway when my wife stopped me and I somehow saw it full. But
I must say this one turns out surprisingly good not only because of superb
casting but because it doesn’t take that much time in coming to the point and
not for one moment makes you feel like you are being spoon fed the whole Godamn
story that we already know by heart. Superman for me and my generation will
always be “Christopher Reeve” and anyone playing that character will always be
compared with him big time. This one worked for me as “Henry Cavill” was almost
unknown to me and he was simply superb in the character – hope he continues in the
sequels. Efforts by the whole team are visible in the movie – especially when
you see some big names associated with the movie like “Chris Nolan / Hans
Zimmer / Zack Snyder” etc. Also, the support cast is too good, starting from
Russell Crowe as Superman’s Dad, Diane Lane and Kevin Costner as his parents on
earth, Amy Adams as his girl friend, Lawrence Fishburne as her boss (not a big
role) but Michael Shannon takes the cake – fantastic portrayal of a killer villain
yet again by him. Rest of the things are balanced out by Action and background
score which again is fantastic and the good part is – it never looks over done.
Again it’s America under attack by General Zod (Shanon) and his remaining team from
Krypton the dead planet in search of Kal El (Superman) – the finale is a mind-blowing
action sequence done too good and totally worth the entire money one spends on
the movie. If it wasn’t for the Amazing Spiderman’s disaster – I would’ve seen
it on big screen – now I’ve gotta wait for its Blue Ray launch in very near
future. The movie definitely gets a 3/5 from my side with two thumbs
recommendation for those who missed it for some silly reason like mine. Go for
it – do not miss it anymore.
