Review
Over 7 years after the last Superman Movie - 'Superman Returns", he's back as the Man of Steel. For comic book fans, this has been a long awaited return and was it worth the wait? We'll let you decide. The Last superman movies supposedly racked in $400 million at the Box office and Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures, makers of the movie were a bit disappointed. They were expected at least $500 million, but in all it was a successful movie. This and other issues regarding commitments of the movies Directors, Producers and cast caused a proposed 2009 sequel to stay under wraps. A fresh storyline and cast were put together for the new movie and with almost $250 million in 3 weeks at the Box office, will it perform better than it's predecessor? Let's wait and see.

We definitely loved the action ( there was a lot) and the general special effects of the movie, to me the action beats those in the Batman movies hand down. I don't remember how Clark Kent and Louise Lane met in the comic series, but the meeting this time around wouldn't have been the way I would have written it. But that's just me, i guess it was wasn't a bad way to make an entrance in the 21st Century. I didn't love the way Clark, watched his earthly father die, just because he didn't want to reveal his identity. He could have used super speed or something, but the story tells us that he didn't fully know his capabilities by then. He didn't know he could fly and all at the time. In all it was a good movie, i would watch it at least 2 more times. But let's know what you think....... If you have't seen this, you should.
Henry Cavill, Amy Adams and the whole cast did a good job.
