No matter what hatred comic book and D.C. and fans of decorum and the well-told story might have for the Henry Cavill franchise due to his association with the director of the Christian Bale Batman franchise that broke rules of story-telling and marketing to rouse the sensitive and vengeful, Henry Cavill puts in a respectful and commanding Superman performance; rest assured.
The director Zack Synder was encumbered with some of the same marketing issues that angered Batman fans in 2012 as the same Christopher Nolan production team that gave Bruce Wayne a nuclear helicopter sowed doubt into the very fabric of Superman by mishandling the reveal of Superman's super-strong suit and cape.
Breath easy. The cape is alien made and strong. (Like the suit)
Anyway, technically, this is a Kevin Costner film, so all haters should reserve judgement of the holy relic of Superman until they have watched the movie.(Unlike with basically all other movies)
The film is philosophically quite sound and action-packed.
For people disenchanted with the idea of yet another coming-of-age story of yet another superhero, please understand that Zack Snyder did direct Watchmen by replicating the graphic novel and so should be at least considered with a modicum of respect by all fans of story. Superman is all about coming-of-age as the main character is an alien and thus every story recounts this fact sorta irrespective of whatever you think about the USA, children or animals featured in movies, J.J. Abrams, J.J. Abrams directing Star Trek and Star Wars, like, back - to - back or tickle-down-economics. (For that matter)
Also, Zack Snyder makes the fair point that Superman, raised in a Christian value system of forgiveness and self-restraint, never quite got to realize his potential as a mass-bending world-beater.
Good point.
The tragedy is palpable.
