I actually really enjoyed this film, which surprised me as: a) I hate origin stories b)I'm not a huge fan of Superman's character. While this still had the origin sequences, thankfully they were less drawn out than I expected. As for Superman himself, he is given a different take in this movie, and it was a move I greatly appreciated. The character felt more human, less sure of himself and still trying to find his feet in the world. A couple of story decisions were a little cliched, but it seemed to fit with the new character. The cgi in this movie is nothing short of breath-taking, and it really shows you how far animated effects have come. The last fight especially is given the grand scale fitting of such a brawl and you get a clear sense of just how powerful these characters are. In fact, the powers of the Kryptonians are expressed well throughout the film and it was always entertaining to see them in action. Great, explosive fun. The kind of thing I want from a comic book movie. :)
