I went into this movie running through all of the other reviews gathered up. Some of it might be a repeat of what you've either seen or read, but this movie felt large. Never before have I felt such a presence overwhelm the screen. The sheer presence the king of monsters brought to the screen came in powerful and left the same way. You just don't mess with this big lizard.

He came in commanding. There have been movies that display enormity of a creature, but this captures these colossal titans. Even the "Muto" was able to leave its mark. There were actors notable of course...especially Brian Kransten (Sorry if misspelled). Just dazzling, so much of a step up compared to the last American Zilla. Just no to that, and bring on this new god!

This movie was a tricky one, to be honest, at first I was expected to be disappointed (Due to the last...failure, of a certain *Cough* Supermans movie). The world deserved a spectacle such as this, and an inventive retelling to the Superman franchise. Being the only one to dig deeply into the past, a time before Superman had come to be. A place, much different than ours, granting our eyes and imagination a spark of beauty, sadness, and a world far away.

I will not call this movie perfection however, nothing is ever without its faults. Time will tell what becomes of this, but for me...it was inspiring to see The Man of Steel raise from so far down. To burst into the scene like this, and once more become an ideal to strive towards. Hidden messages work into this movie, action fills at times, and a story complex enough to be satisfying, but not confusing still.

Well done. Those are my final words to the talented actors, directors, writers, and others who made this possible.
