Man of STEAL !!!

Rating: 1/10 (15 November 2013)

There are various ways in which to expect Superman to be, based on comics, personal opinion and taste. I will not consider these in the review, since individual taste can't be judged.
I WILL however speak my opinion about a - if not the - SUPER-hero-MOVIE. It is supposed to be a lot of fun, action, good script and most important of all - inventive. It should show us our beloved Superheros in ways we've never seen them before.
This is ultimately not the case with this movie !!! It rips of approximately 30 major movies without the slightest bit of shame. to give you some examples: The ships attacking the cities (looking like the STAR TREK vessel nero uses) release an energy beam to destroy buildings (INDEPENDENCE DAY). The Robot chick (TRON look) jumps (UNDERWOLRD MOVE, even with the bent knee). There is a lot more of this, but to complete the list, I would have to watch the movie again, and I certainly won't do that!!!
The girl-friend of the hero volunteers absolutely unneccessariely to go to the alien ship where she needs the computerized father of the hero (again, rip off TRON) to do nothing else than - escape! This escape fails so that the hero has - another - reason to save his - useless - damsel in distress. I'm not a feminist, but this portrait of a woman is shamefull! Useless decoration! Whoever wrote this should be visited by "the black widow" if you get my meaning!
The movie rips off shamelessly a lot of movies, but that's not the only bad part: the flashbacks happen now and then, suddenly and lame, don't help to build the already set super-heroes character and even lack the right amount of pathos, gravity and heroism.
This is the worst movie I've seen this decade - and I've seen Super- Shark and Sharknado!
Don't support the "copy-paste"-Strategy with unimaginative (or unwilling to take risks) Hollywood and DON'T BUY THIS MOVIE!!!
If you want good popcorn-Super-heroes: Go Avengers: Far from perfect, but an eternity better than this S***
