Maybe I'm just a sucker for superhero movies that push the whole concept into unfamiliar territory but I really liked this one. It has an interesting feeling of realism to it which can make it extremely boring if you are a huge fan of the much flashier Marvel/DC comics movies. It has everything that I suppose a traditional superhero movie would have but instead it's much more subdued and grounded in reality. Easily 4/5 stars for me.

This seems criminally underrated. With the exception of the final few frames, this is tense film-making and the best attempt yet at a grounded superhero film. As Tarantino says, this is the film about Superman on earth not knowing he's Superman and it's exhilarating.

As a guy who grew up reading comics, someone who watches every superhero movie that comes out, and someone who has always loved the different stories and takes on good and evil, I have to say that this movie takes the cake and sets the bar for what an origin, let alone superhero movie should be.
