Overly hyped over budgeted junk

Rating: 1/10 (13 June 2013)

I just got home after walking out halfway through an advanced screening of this movie. If you like lots of shaky camera work, lots of CGI, loud explosions and a terrible storyline this is the movie for you. The actual storyline takes a back burner to the cinematic action, and is shallow at best. The viewer could get more story from an episode of Smallville.
Just as bad is the camera work. OK, I understand a shaky camera seeming more lifelike during an action sequence. It is not needed during a simple sequence where Clark is learning where he came from from his father. The camera doesn't need to wobble like the person filming it was drunk while shooting the scene. It doesn't even make it more realistic feeling, it instead distracts from the shallow, emotionless delivery Kevin Costner gave.
The only funny moment I saw was when Clark got in an argument at the bar and got his revenge by impaling the other guy's truck, but the the CGI generated shot didn't even look realistic, especially with the overly dark filter they gave the movie.
I'm not alone in this, my wife and son went along with me. My wife was urging me to go when I was giving it more time to develop.
If you want well done rehashed superhero movies go watch The Dark Knight instead.
As for the comparisons to Transformers? The first one was far more watchable and enjoyable than this, heck I actually liked it.
How bad is it?
This is the first movie I have walked out of since Dracula 2000. This movie was so bad even cheesy low budget stuff I've seen such as Carnosaur was better.
This is the first movie I felt obligated to review just to save the viewer time and money.
Save your money, save your time. Someone will do Superman again and deliver a better story.
