Starts out Great but slow later on

Rating: 3/10 (21 June 2013)

A mediocre movie overall, starts out great becoming slower and almost painful to watch later on. The original had a far better story and was perfectly bought out. This remake lost most of the original plot and does not have a strong watch ability factor, actors with big names too couldn't pull up this disappointment. They tried to combine the original three parts into one, making a mess of the entire story. FX was great as expected and the background to the disaster on Krypton which was missing in the original is well told, enjoyable but for the first 20 mins. Afterwards the movie goes into a never ending series of flashbacks to Kal el's life as he arrived on earth, even here they have not stuck to the original movie. IMO, the original was much better, even without the FX. If you like CGI effects this is the movie for you, but for a Marvel fan this movie is like a scrambled egg without taste.
