What starts out as an interesting take, ends up as a disastrous and ridiculous fight amongst aliens!

Rating: 6/10 (23 June 2013)

Zack Snyder's 'Superman'. When I heard that Nolan is involved with the writing of the movie, I expected a great deal from his new Superhero venture. The movie started out with a good origin background and great promise, but ultimately the flaws and screenplay made me lose interest in the movie. Some flaws in the development of the character and story are so glaring & ridiculous - 1> The day Clark Kent gets to know the details of his origins, the next day the whole earth becomes aware of it as well. 2> Lois Lane knows Superman's identity from the very beginning, and Clark joins the 'The Daily Planet' much later. 3> The whole movie turned out to be more about General Zod than about Superman. 4> And in this version, Superman didn't give a damn about the destruction and lives; he never tries to take the fight outside Metropolis, instead he slams the aliens into skyscrapers.
Henry Cavill looked great as Clark Kent/ Superman, but there wasn't much to act. I don't know why Amy Adams agreed to do such a underdeveloped Lois Lane. As for the rest of the amazing cast - Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner, Lawrence Fishburne and Diane Lane - I don't know how they got involved with this mess.
The first half gave dark and interesting glimpses into Clark's life, but the second half was just an irritatingly bombastic fight between aliens (I mean, Kryptonians), with the earth as the arena, and humans as the audience.
