And what can be said about this? It's very difficult to enter into a film like Superman with its 400th reincarnation, but I tried to do exactly that, blanking out the much loved humour existant in the older films, forgetting who or what Zod was/is, and all the other things we've learned to love about Superman over the years.
I think what Zack Snyder has done with toughening Clark up, giving him a rugged background and challenging strife through his childhood was good, but I'm not entirely sure that enough time was spent building that backstory, and it was a little bit simple in the way it lays the breadcrumbs out that are then followed through as the film goes on.
It lends quite a lot from recent blockbusters, and even not so recent with some scenes reminiscent of Independence Day, Transformers, and Iron Man.
Either way, as an alone, I quite liked the new take, and look forward to seeing what they do with the next one, and as such....7.7!
