Superbly unimpressive...or how many times can Superman scream?

Rating: 5/10 (18 June 2013)

Well, I gave "Man of Steel" every benefit of the doubt. Even when the trailers were lackluster and the soundtrack unremarkable, I still went to go see it hoping that it would reawaken my love of all things Superman...sadly, it did not. While not terrible it certainly was far from remarkable. Guess the best thing I can say about the film was that it stayed well within the boundaries of mediocrity for at every opportunity this movie takes the low road. The story, the acting (lord the acting- can Henry Cavill have less of an emotional range?), everything about this movie felt as if I was watching a rough draft instead of a finished product. Nothing about this film screams Superman as much as it says "Hey! We found a muscular guy that somewhat looks like Superman! That should be enough for you...right, RIGHT??"
