Man of (computerized) Steel

Rating: 5/10 (14 June 2013)

This is a film about one man: an alien (Kal-El), a human (Clark Kent), a man of steel (Superman).
That's a lot to take on for one guy and Man of Steel makes sure the audience feels a similar burden. The film covers too much ground. It starts at Superman's alien birthliterally. Maybe if fanboys would take it down a notch the rest of us could enjoy a superhero movie at a pace other than super slow and melodramatic.
Besides the length and heavy backstory, the corniness of Man of Steel was full throttle. Lame dialogue, thoughtless editing, and 'not-so' action packed. I'm not the biggest fan of Superman, but if a superhero movie is done well the main characters will win me over (ahem, Avengers). If you're into Superman, than read this to get some nerd anger out. If you're not, now you know that this is no Iron Man or Dark Knight. So don't waste your timeand it's a lot of time.
