So we are looking at essentially a remake of Superman (nothing wrong with that).
So how does it compare? Favourably.
The original is perhaps a little softer, more romantic and more idyllic whereas the remake is darker, richer and a little more interesting.
2 changes that worked for me, the origin part of the story on Krypton which is much more expansive (creating more of a universe feel, literally) and the extended character of Superman Senior. Brando was the quintessential sci-fi 'head in a bottle' character using him to explain Supe's back story in the original, Crowe's character came full combat ready and I think it added well to the overall story.
Really enjoyable effort that sits well as a representative of the DC universe :)
