Worst movie ever!

Rating: 1/10 (26 March 2016)

I normally do not like extreme ratings, too high or too low. Modesty in everything, I usually say. But when a movie is as blatantly deceptive as this one is, then to me the extremely bad rating is deserved. This was supposed to be a superhero movie, I thought. It wasn't. Coming out on the Christian's Easter weekend (spoiler alert!), this movie is a very, very tricky way of getting people into church for Easter without them knowing it. There are references to God and the devil throughout, so that you come to see Superman as God's representative and Lex Luthor (an obvious atheist representative) and the reincarnated Zod as the devil. Superman is crucified on a spear, dying as a sacrifice to save the world from the devil. Batman is his apostle Paul who at first opposes him, then sings his praises. Predictably, the last scene is the casket of superman getting ready to come back to life. What a disappointment! Everything was predictable. They made sure to get in all the usual necessary tricks to draw in everyone's emotions - the male muscles, the girl (Amy Adams), the action, the great CGI scenery. But there was nothing worthy in the story. It was nothing more than a Christian ploy to tell the Easter story through Superman. Really, really poor taste, in my opinion.
