2/10 - Let's ReBoot fans with Super-man-handling of hero!

Rating: 3/10 (14 June 2013)

I saw it last night. At the end, the theatre's audience seemed in shock! No loud applause or cheering as I have witnessed for many other excellent movies. More like muted shock. I believe this movies true intent was not as much to reboot a possible franchise but to reboot the fans of Superman into an audience bent on CGI/video game mayhem and destruction. Explosions, mayhem, tornadoes, wars, decimation of planets, buildings, vehicles....all in order to sell the future of Superhero movie-making. (If we can put them all together in one Justice League movie, we'll have ten times the audience for the cost of one). Let's cater to the millions of mindless, de-sensitized, fantasy fueled mentalities that sit in front of CGI mayhem and manage and control worlds, destinies and destruction vicariously. All they want is destruction, loud noises and flying debris (we mustn't show nor hint at the human element of the victims - no guilt intended). Let's be realistic. If we try to tell the comic book story, it will take forever with one movie every three to four years. Imagine 7 or 8 hours of production in a decade? De-sensitize the masses-promote war-mongering. Let's all get rich!!!!
