If You're Cautious About This Movie Stay Away

Rating: 1/10 (17 June 2013)

I'm just going to cut to the chase. Everybody saying this is the movie of the year and that the critics are wrong were loving the movie before it even came out. I don't know how many times I've seen " Man Of Steel Best Movie Of The Year" weeks before it came out. So this is for the people who want to watch it objectively.
It's an okay movie. Okay in every since of the word. The Writing is okay. The direction is okay. The action is okay. The Editing is horrible, or should I say the story structure since Goyer didn't look at the complaints of TDKR and constructive improve his script. The acting is superb , but nothing to really run home to, Snyder just picked excellent actors to fill in mostly generic uninteresting role.
I'm going to compare this to two movies. Transformers and Avengers. Now In Avengers there's no real sense of tension or danger and in Transformers there's a lot of havoc and chaos. The problem with Man Of Steel is that there's so much carnage that it feels like this is the climax to end all climaxes. In transformers and Avengers it was a city or two that leveled. If this movie followed through with the destruction it caused then there'd be no Metropolis. Superman doesn't save one person. What's more is that Avengers and Transformers are smart enough not try to use civilian life as an emotional trigger. They pretend like nobody died and keep it moving. This literally has buildings falling on people and Superman not only doesn't bat an eye, but there's no aftermath of this destruction. Just feels lazy and takes any emotional punch out of the movie.
