It thinks it's a Very Important Movie.

Rating: 4/10 (11 February 2014)

The dialogue is wooden, preachy, self-important, and silly. I pictured the actors trying to keep from laughing or wincing at the words they had to say. A lot of the lines are written as if they are supposed to be Big Pieces of Wisdom but they are anything but. Lois Lane is reduced a damsel in distress waiting around for Stuporman (he is so DULL) to save her. They have no chemistry. Despite the big names, there isn't much acting in it because the special effects are supposed to keep you occupied. I thought the CGI, and the costumes, especially on Krypton, were laughable. What acting there is doesn't really uplift the movie much. (I never realized just how bad an actor Kevin Costner is.) Amy Adams comes across as a little girl trying to sound tough and grown-up. I usually enjoy Russell Crowe but for some reason he just wasn't convincing. The movie keeps cutting back and forth so quickly in time and place, with no titles to guide you, that it's hard to keep up with the plot. At the same time, the movie just drags on and on.
