Superman: Man of Underwear Not Shown

Rating: 8/10 (28 July 2013)

Though only unfazed a couple of days ago, "Superman: Man of Steel" is still fresh in my mind. I felt that in the end, I don't know that I would go and see it again or own it. However, I love that Superman has put his underwear inside of his "uniform".
Henry Cavill (who was also in Tudors, one of my favorite TV series of all time) plays the very handsome Clark Kent. His biological father Jor-El is played by very handsome and always charming Russel Crowe. Though I didn't know until just now, Diane Lane is Clark's "earth mother". Diane does not look herself in this movie and maybe that's why she is a remarkable actress. (Because Diane Lane can play anyone and look like any character, even one out of a classic comic like Superman.) Kevin Costner plays Jonathan Kent. He is the perfect "father figure" for a character that is in the movie not long at all but in the comics for awhile. Amy Adams plays the famous Lois Lane. I love the surprises of Laurence Fishburne ("Matrix") and Christopher Meloni ("Law and Order: SVU").
I found that a lot of this movie was untimely. I felt that the story line jumped all over the place. Characters did not look like they were supposed to and were not in it as much as they were supposed to. You are able to understand why the bad guy was a bad guy and how Superman's father dies, but I always felt that the Superman comics had A lot to do with the romance of Lois Lane and Clark Kent. I felt that Lois Lane was not the character of the comics and I felt that they forgot about Lona Lang, Lois Lane's cousin and Clark Kent's first love interest. Lona Lang put a HUGE impact in the romance world of Clark Kent/Superman. Lona Lang is a 15 second scene in this movie. Lois Lane and Clark Kent's story is a 1o second scene at the end of the movie.
To sum it up, I felt that this movie was just all over the place and they left out A LOT for a two and a half hour movie!
