- TriviaHenry Cavill refused to take steroids to muscle up for the role. He also refused any digital touch-ups or enhancement to his body in his shirtless scenes. He said it would have been dishonest of him to use trickery while playing Superman, and he wanted to push his body to the limits, to develop his physique into one that was worthy of the character.

Top review
Superman's first action movie.
I'm a big fan of the character, it has a lot of exciting moments, a good story and a wonderful soundtrack. Sure, it's not a perfect movie, far from it, but I got excited all the time.
