I have never been a devoted Superman fan, though I enjoyed some of the films. (Superman: The Movie, Superman 2, and Superman Returns.) I thoroughly enjoyed this version of the creation story. There is no doubt that this film’s Superman is not the perfect paladin of previous performances. The story of the Kyrptonians and the destruction is one now tinged with hubris and an element of self-destruction that I think is an allegory people are missing while being too wrapped up in the Christ imagery Snyder applies to the screen with the subtly of a nuclear blast.
