Movie Review: Superman has always been the quintessential clean-cut superhero, the sincere saviour of the day. While that essence remains, he now gets a decidedly darker, introspective and brutal edge under the Nolan-Snyder aegis. After emerging from interplanetary exile following a failed coup attempt on Krypton, General Zod and his crew arrive on Earth in search of the Codex - and Kal El (Cavill) - that will allow him to create a new race on Earth, while destroying humanity in the process.
The world becomes a battleground for the inevitable confrontation between Zod and Superman. While huge swathes of cities are wantonly reduced to rubble and the scale of destruction is off the map, there are also tender moments in-between. The curvy Lois Lane’s (Adams) chemistry with Clark Kent is moving, as is the bond Clark shares with his Earth-parents.
