Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for sci-fi fans, action fans and animation lovers. If you loved Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Fast-moving, at 1 hr 16 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

The Man of Steel finds himself outshone by a new team of ruthless superheroes who hold his idealism in contempt.
