Destruction explosions and.... oh yeah, more destruction

Rating: 6/10 (20 April 2014)

Seeing as how an amazing Superman movie hasn't been made in many many years I was extremely excited for this one because the previews looked so promising. The previews felt like it would be like The Dark Knight which was an amazing interpretation of Batman... but this movie, it just felt so awkward and underdeveloped.
So I'll skip the plot line of the movie because everyone knows what Superman is about (this is funny because the writers and director did the exact same thing) and just say my thoughts on the movie. My biggest pet peeve was that all the characters were so underdeveloped. They seem to just be thrown into the movie, have a few short lines, and the fight or do some other bs. We all know that Superman and Lois Lane fall in love but in this movie they interact with each other about twice, kiss, and realize they're in love. For a movie that was 2 1/2 hours long I somehow felt it was too short. How is that possible you ask? Well again there was basically no interaction between any of the characters other than fighting. The only part of the movie that felt developed was the introduction and destruction of Kryton in the first 20 minutes, which gave some rather poor insight on the antagonist. Spoiler alert, Kryton blows up but all the criminals that were banished survived. Cause you know, that's the people you want to save. Damn my review is a mess... kinda like this movie.
BUT THE THING THAT BUGGED ME THE MOST. Superman is supposed to be saving Earth and literally EVERYTHING gets destroyed. I have never ever seen so much destruction in one movie, it was ridiculous. An entire hour of this movie is dedicated to ONE fight scene. Ironically Zod is simply killed at the end from a snap to the neck. IDK why but I'm giving this movie a VERY generous 6/10.
If anything the filmography was gorgeous. Some of the shots with the cameras were so beautifully done.
