Felt like watching an uneventful sequel to 300!

Rating: 1/10 (12 April 2014)

Watching "Man Of Steel" and its funny that TV Guide gives it 1 star and yet IMDb gives it 3.5 stars. While I admire the direct Zack Synder (Watchmen, 300), I felt I was watching a sequel to Watchmen and that's not the only problem I had with this movie. I love the cinema aspect of the movie but when you deviate from a origin that's been around for over 75 years, you run the risk of screwing up a formula that didn't need tinkering to begin with.
I realize Synder wanted to put his own spin, interpretation so he can stand out among the rest. But when you try to reboot an establish brand, you often make a mess of things (Amazing Spider-man comes to mind.) And now a sequel is coming and this time Batman & Wonder Woman will join the cast and Zack Synder is directing it. I'm not a fan of Ben Affleck being Batman and I can't say I'm looking forward to the sequel. I hope my mind can be changed once I begin seeing the trailers.
