If you have seen it once, you have seen it a thousand times

Rating: 5/10 (27 December 2013)

So my fam and I went into this movie hoping for a more adult version of Superman. I was hoping for new twists, better CGI, adult dialogue, mind-blowing cinematography, interesting characters, believable scenarios (within reason, of course), and something that generally would be more interesting than what we have been forced-fed in the past by Hollywood.
The movie started strong and quickly but quickly devolved into mind numbingly boring fight scenes that dragged on for what seemed like days.
Let's start with the length of the film. Far too long. You will catch yourself (and family) laughing every time you think it's about to end and it doesn't. It taunts you a second, third, fourth, and fifth time in very unamusing ways.
The characters are boring (well, except for maybe the dad).
There was so much potential with this story. There could have been a great apocalyptic moment of world wide survival against an enemy here in the flavor of The Walking Dead, but no such luck. We were treated instead to another long drawn out fight scene with the same CGI fight techniques used over and over hundreds of times.
By the end of the movie I was reading the paper instead of watching the TV. And I HATE reading the paper!!!
7.4 IMDb? Really? This rating system is seriously flawed.
