Too much CGI!!!! Sorry, Sups!

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2013)

Here is my SUPER REVIEW. Best I can offer it is 6 out of 10 on IMDb. I think Henry make a good Superman... but I did not like how they changed the story so much. Russell Crowe was good as Jor El... but, the fact was it was just too graphic. I mean, there was too much action. These days in action movies they are just cramming so much CGI in the flicks that it is hard for the eyes and mind to take it all in. That was really the case here. The fight scenes were so intense that you could not keep up with them. The eyes could not process the information. ---- think about it like this... did you ever try to follow the hockey puck in a hockey game? Same thing. It's just too much, Hollywood.
I did think Michael Shannon (from Lexington) did an OUTSTANDING job as General Zod. He had more dialog than pretty much any other actor it seems.... and he played the role well.
And, I really did not like the story. Parts were OK of course. Lois Lane was in it of course.
I don't know. I know they wanted to create a whole new Superman.... but, I am getting tired of Hollywood changing the characters that were big enough to begin with.
For instance... a couple of movies back, they gave Superman a son. Argh. That angered me.
Bottom line, this reviewer says 6 out of 10 stars.
