I have been a HUGE Supes fan since I was very young. I was sooooo excited when I saw that this movie was being made and I was even more excited to find out that Snyder was in control.

While there are a couple of things that kind of threw me off (I'm talking to you crazy skull scene) I thoroughly enjoyed the film as a whole. I liked that they included some of the story that took place on Krypton and gave some humanity (yes I see the irony of "humanity") to Supes parents and people as a whole. Even Zod, who until now has only been portrayed (though done so with excellence) as a cold, mostly heartless soldier of fortune.

The biggest hiccup for me was the final climax. That's not how Superman does things. Plain and simple, he doesn't kill for any reason. He always finds another way.

I do think that this is a great movie and I have viewed it several times, It made me feel things for characters that until now were completely tertiary or non existent and that alone deserves praise.

Kudos

As a lover of goosebumps as a teen I was instantly drawn to this as soon as I saw the trailer for it. It has a very similar storyline to the episode say cheese and die but obviously as this is more for adults it's more scary. For those who have seen that episode of goosebumps my job is done, for those who haven't the movie is about a cursed camera, anyone who has their photo taken is killed by a supernatural creature. An antiques dealer named Bird is given an old camera by a friend, she starts taking photos of people with it but it isn't until the second person dies that she realises their deaths are because of the camera. It is then a race against time to find out the origins of the camera and how they can stop this supernatural being from killing her and all of her friends. Can she stop it in time? You'll have to watch to find.
A few jump scares in the movie but nothing too scary and lots of twists and turns, the ending I would have never guessed but it was very well done. Highly recommended.
