Truly one large Misfire

Rating: 1/10 (23 May 2014)

A very disappointing movie. A film filled with lots of plot holes and a Superman that never acts like Superman. The special effects were good and for the most part so was the acting, but the overall story just felt so empty.
I just wanted more than action, I wanted a story filled at least with some heart and at least some logic. The flashbacks were good because at least we were treated to some great Kevin Costner scenes, but the way Ma and Pa Kent treated their son and hiding his powers sometimes was just odd, especially when he explained to him the whole saving the kids on the bus wasn't a good idea.
It wasn't as bad as their Green Lantern movie, but it wasn't much better. Warner Bros/DC Entertainment has to realize not all their movies have to look like The Dark Knight with their bleak settings and lighting. The whole film was colorless and for that matter joyless. When I first saw the original 1978 Superman I felt joy and pure excitement after watching it, but this film left me empty and depressed. Not because of the movie itself, but because of the story and it's tone.
