What a waste of all resources

Rating: 1/10 (23 June 2013)

I had no expectations set, I did not even mind seeing a remake of the old movie with better CGI and different cast but it managed to hugely disappoint me. It was an epic fail on all levels.
There was no element of surprise, no style factor, no memorable dialog, no heart touching moment, no wit (except for the brief moment when Superman is held by his cape n thrown badly, and the time when Amy Adams says "S" and you force yourself to think she means "ass"), senseless plot. The new superman has no style, he is just a gloomy and boring guy with lot of bulging out muscles. The only characters who would grab you a little bit are the Zod who has more conviction in the movie than Superman himself and Zod's lady accomplice who has more style and attitude than anyone in the movie.
Most annoying is the waste of such nice actors like Russel Crowe and Diane Lane and Amy Adams, they had no substance to work with, no good dialog either. For an action movie, action did not even start before the interval and later they stuffed so much in few mins that you get bored, and most of it feels like they are doing it for doing sake, just for fun they wanna blow up buildings and vehicles. Superman at times cares so damn much about a single person's life and other times he would deliberately smash into inhabited buildings, baseless! No chemistry between Superman and Lois. Good CGI effects with the spaceships, rest all seemed redundant..stuff we have already seen in Iron man and Avengers, except the costumes nothing was new or great.
Overall poorly devised plot, under-utilization of resources, badly told story, a lame movie
