Nice Try - Enjoyable - But a miss to Donner/Reeve's Superman.

Rating: 7/10 (13 June 2013)

This was such a nice fresh start to a super hero movie that no one has been able to duplicate since the 1978 classic directed by Richard Donner, and starred Christopher Reeve.
I really enjoyed the way in which the story was told. But wanted more. I'm bothered by a few moments in the film where it pushed my disbelief to far. And it came off insulting my "Movie" intelligence. One thing was never even answered. Unless I missed something.
A lot of eye candy. But without a proper structure for a story. It's just eye candy.
Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed it. Not the best Summer Blockbuster in my opinion.
The actors did a great job. And Costner, and Crowe. With the little screen time. Were more entertaining to watch then the rest of the cast. And I felt Lois Lane, was poorly cast. And I love that actress.
It was fun. Not fun enough. And I still think Superman : The Movie, is still the best super hero movie ever made.
I like the originality of the ideas and the way the story was told. Entertaining. But I don't think it lives up to the the hype "From Studio Exec's?" that we heard about in the months leading up to its release.
I really wanted to love this movie. And I wanted to be blown away. Instead...it was very interesting...and too much eye candy, with not enough story.
