Love Superman, but terrible directing

Rating: 4/10 (5 April 2017)

This is a late review and probably won't be read, but after watching this film, I deemed it necessary to write a review. I was excited starting into the film, but immediately felt a bit lost. The action shifts back and forth through Superman's life which can be done to good effect, but seemed untimely and made me a bit dizzy. The film was inconsistent with the comic series and the plot was overly simplified, a courteous term stating that there were too many special effects, unrealistic physics, and not an adequate story-line to engage the viewer. This film perhaps could be a good watch for young children, but for young adults who look for good screenplay, this is a one-and-done film.
SPOILER---> I felt a bit betrayed by the fact that Lois Lane immediately found out about Clark Kent's secret identity after a seemingly easy and expedient detective search starting from initial encounter tracing the clues quickly to Clark Kent. In the actual series, she doesn't extinguish the two---having affections for both---until after a notable while.
Notwithstanding that, even with some decent special effects, it is unsettling that Superman or the -Els couldn't be injured (like in the eye) with all the class and impairments. Yet, an -El can be stabbed and neck snapped and die. <-----SPOILER END
I'm hopeful that, like the Batman series, another director in our future can devise an excellent film like Christopher Nolan did with the Dark Knight series.
