should have turned this off after the first five minutes

Mild spoilers in my review. I gave this a 4 instead of a 1 for a few reasons - I was intrigued by the twist that Clark/Superman was an outcast from the beginning. That seems much more plausible since children are unpredictable and growing up is a difficult process. Also Henry Cavill is super handsome in this. The title of my review is based on the following. (young teen) Clark saves the children and driver after the schoolbus crashes into a lake. Of course, this isn't the first time Clark's uniqueness has been noticed. Clark gets a lecture from his father about hiding his powers and an upset Clark asks "was I supposed let them die?" The father, who makes no effort to comfort him stands at a distance and says something like "maybe, this isn't about just a few lives........" REALLY? He is going to lay the deaths of 30 kids on a 12 or 13 year old boy? It goes downhill fast from here as you can see from any number of negative reviews. This incarnation of Superman lets people die, destroys entire cities and has enough plot holes to make net to catch fish.
