This was not Superman

Rating: 1/10 (15 July 2013)

I guess this movie is good if you like action movies. But as for me, I have always loved Superman and this wasn't Superman at all. Too many people died. He never let anyone die. Lois Lane's character was all wrong and what happened to the original theme music? This was over the top and nothing like my favorite superhero. Maybe Christopher Reeve is really my favorite superhero and I'm still holding on to those classic characters that Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman and Marlon Brando brought to the table. I left bummed and wondering why there wasn't yellow on his suit and the theme music that I sang growing up as a child was non existent in this movie. AND his foster father died of a heart attack, not by being swept away from a tornado and he leaves his foster mother after that. And I'm not exactly sure how he had kryptonite in his DNA if that's his one and only weakness. Maybe I misunderstood something. I don't know. I didn't like it. I walked in excited and left upset. The only good thing they did was bring my attention to Henry Cavill. Very handsome man!
