Man Of STEAL

Rating: 1/10 (28 June 2013)

At first I didn't want to believe what I was watching.I thought that they'd have a really good scenario to reboot the franchise.I was wrong.What I watched was something that was ''dressed'' to impress only visually.Another film made for 3D that lacks ''depth''.After all these years of watching films,I have learned 2 things: 1:Never trust the trailer (in this case,the dark knight-like trailer) 2:Never trust the film's IMDb score.
Now,about the plot:Haven't really read Superman comics,but in every film or series about Superman,some things were were always the same:Lois meets Clark Kent,fall in love with each other and LATER he reveals his secret identity to Lois.NOT IN THE FREAKIN BEGINNING OF THE FILM!It's like ''nice to meet you,I'm the Super Guy you'll be seeing a lot from now on''.Another thing.Black Perry White?Really?Not a racist thing,but something that reminded me of the black Kingpin in the Daredevil film,which was a major inconsistency.
Not much of character depth here either.Superman,during the first hour an a half of the film,spoke for,like,5 times.Never gave us the chance to see why he fell in love with Lois BEFORE the ''Clark Kent'' era.They focused on the wrong stuff.Even when the action started I was so bored I wanted to leave the cinema (and ask for my money back).Russel Crowe was a good choice for Jor-El though,as well as Henry Cavill for Superman.But the scenario wasn't good enough for him to show his potential.Overall,my rating is extremely low because of the high expectations I had for this film.I just want to forget I ever saw it.In fact,if such operation was possible,I'd like to have the memory of the film surgically removed from my brain.
