Quotes

[first lines]
Jor-El: Will you not understand? Krypton's core is collapsing! We may only have a matter of weeks! I warned you, harvesting the core was suicide! It has accelerated the process of implosion!
Lor-Em: Our energy reserves were exhausted. What would you have us do, El?
Jor-El: Look to the stars, like our ancestors did! There are habitable worlds within reach. We can begin by using the old outposts.
Ro-Zar: Are you seriously suggesting that we evacuate the entire planet?
Jor-El: No, everybody here is already dead. Give me control...

User Reviews

DC's first big step!

The movie catch the Superman's essence very well. Is the road of Clark Kent searching his place in the world while he has a life among the humans. Zack Snyder gave us his own version of the character a little dark but how it has to be. At the end of all, this Superman movie is great, DC started perfect their universe. DC is the best.
