After the last Superman reboot, the painfully tedious "Superman Returns", back in 2006, I can't say my expectations were high for yet another (reboot). Initial promo pics though did stir some interest, apparently this would have a darker tone, and the sight of Superman handcuffed did look promising.
So is it any good?
Oh boy, yes it is. Zack Snyder has been brought in to direct and has given the franchise the much needed kick up the arse it needed. The relatively unknown Henry Cavill plays lead, and he is ably supported by Amy Adams and Russell Crowe but the star of the movie is Micheal Shannon as General Zod, the guy was born to play this role. This is a Superman film with balls, steel balls, dark, brooding, violent and intelligent, a fine reboot, and a great super hero movie.
