Just Another Vapid Super Hero Movie

Rating: 6/10 (19 June 2013)

If you enjoyed movies like Thor, Captain America, and The Avengers, and you don't mind seeing them again, then you'll enjoy this movie. It's pretty much the same thing. A lot if fight scenes, underdeveloped characters, and indestructible bad guys that have one weakness that allows the good guy to predictably triumph in the end.
With Zack Snyder directing and Christopher Nolan writing (both cinematographic geniuses) I had hoped for a super hero movie that would be unique and refreshing; not just another typical DC comics flick. Although, the film was very cliché, which I guess is what you would expect from superman.
The Dark Knight trilogy by Nolan was by far the best portrayal of a super hero saga ever seen on the big screen; and well received. The producers of this film had the opportunity to go beyond the typical superman story that has been done many times before and create something extraordinary. But they didn't, which was a real let down.
