How does Superman shave?

Rating: 4/10 (9 April 2016)

He's invulnerable and indestructible, right? So how does he shave? I wouldn't have to ask other than he does appear in one scene with stubble but is clean-shaven throughout the rest of the movie. I'm thinking kryptonite razor blades? Anyway, there were other confusing issues with the movie, some of the early scene changes were very badly strung together with little bridging explanation. That said, Jesse Eisenberg did a sterling job of personifying a psychotic baddie although the you got the impression that he was pretty much running on empty, principally because of lack of direction and content. Otherwise Afflick and the other main characters were well cast and put in solid performances, but Gal Gadot seemed a curious piece of casting. OK she's a looker, albeit with a very low brow, so put her in a $8,000 dress and stand her in anATM line and she looks good. I'd look good standing in an ATM line wearing $8,000 worth of clothes and I'm an ugly, balding, 65 year old man. Mercifully though her actual speaking lines were kept to an absolute minimum, because she cannot act. To call her wooden would be an insult to trees. I think they wanted to hide her ugly foreign accent as well. I can only assume that she was a political appointee, designed to further the Jewish military agenda in Hollywood. For example, Batman's parent's killer, who was replayed several times throughout the movie, looked distinctly and I think unnecessarily, Arabic just to encourage Islamaphobia. Batman's new moral code doesn't prevent him killing people (even if they are baddies) in order to steal any item he wants for his own purposes. It also doesn't prevent him attempting to kill people for no other reason than he thinks they might be a threat. Are those ideas that we want to popularise through the media of mass entertainment? Or is this the self justification of a beleaguered, brutal, military dictatorship? DC comics always lacked the colour and vibrancy of Marvel comics and in the early '60s used to read almost like a party political broadcast for the Republican Party. Superman was white, (despite being an alien) he was brought up on a small farm in Kansas by poor, God fearing Christian simpletons that taught him to fight for truth and justice. Batman was white and rich, he inherited wealth and drove fast cars and loved gadgets but at least he didn't go around killing people to get what he wanted. So is this movie more representative of modern day Republican Party values where It is alright to kill people, especially if they are Arabs? But the best part of the whole movie for me was Batman hitting Superman over the head with a bathroom sink, that was truly awesome. That made up for all the other failings. I think when a movie has political undertones in it and a politically cast foreign national actress and when the agenda is so obvious, that it is never going to be great. This isn't entertainment, this is the coarsest propaganda and it doesn't work for me, not at any level.
