Yes, the man is indeed of steel. Not because the Superman character doesn't even get a scratch after being hit by a flying truck but because the extraordinary chap has consistently maintained a blank puzzled facial expression throughout the movie. Such amount of consistency would be very tough to maintain even for the best of our bollywood actors like Imran Khan or even Himesh Reshammiya. He is well supported by a brilliant crew of actors who seem to have written their own dialogues which is unlikely in most movies.
One of my favorite dialogues in the movie is when the little superman gets very disturbed in his school classroom after watching the x-ray vision of his teacher (in fact even i got a bit disturbed). Psyched out he runs and locks himself in a room saying “this world is too big for me”. That is when his mother(super mom) miraculously turns up at his school and consoles him (rather hypnotizes him) saying “Clark, imagine this world to be a small island, can you see it? now slowly swim towards it.” Hearing this magical words the super kid calms down and learns to handle the x-ray visions of people there on. Even if the dialogues were probably not written for this scene but the brilliant actress could handle the situation with her impromptu dialogues.
Another brilliant part of the movie is that the villain Zod who doesn't seem to get hurt a bit even if a nuclear bomb exploded in his pants but our Super Superman kills him by just twisting his neck. Animation team has put more than 100% in their efforts actually more than what was necessary. Animation is so good that even the doors of spaceship do not shut simply. They shut as if joining thousands of broken pieces together showing weird patterns not seen in any sci-fi movies, just brilliant.
This superman is lot more matured and modern than his predecessors as he no longer wears his undis over his pajamas. The Superman is supposed to be from a planet called as Krypton. But actually i could identify two more people who are from krypton but is not revealed in the movie. Probably that would be revealed in its sequel. But i would like to break the secret for you guys. One of them actually is the Director of this movie. That is because just after watching 2-3 poorly made Hollywood movies he could make this extraordinary masterpiece. Another hint being that the scenes in the movie are completely disconnected which is a usual trend in all the Kryptic movies (movies made in the planet Krypton).
You wouldn’t believe that the third person from krypton is actually from India. He is none other than the reviewer from Times of India who gave 4 stars to this movie, a worthy rating for this masterpiece. Only a person from Krypton could actually appreciate the fine details and beauty of this movie. Like for we mortals from planet Earth it is very difficult to even guess who is younger among the heroine and superman’s mother, Or why Russel Crowe worked in this movie, or why Superman's father went to save his dog and got himself killed like a dog. Earthlings like me without thinking twice buy the expensive movie tickets for crap movies and somehow miss out on excellent movies like this one which could be a source of ultimate entertainment and fun. I don’t want to limit myself to just 5 stars to rate this movie. I would rather rate it with the sum of all the stars flying around my head from the time i paid for the ticket till the end of the movie.
