Disappointed (spoilers enclosed)

Rating: 2/10 (8 July 2013)

------------ Warning spoilers enclosed -------------
It is said that when a person is writing a story. The writer often begins the story with the greatest sincere intention. Its also said that towards the middle of the story, just about everything the writer wants to say has already been said.
By the end of the story. The writer is just throwing things together and trying to put an end to the story with the quickest solutions possible.
(1) The beginning of the show "Man of Steel" was spectacular. (2) I was absolutely impressed with the new (CGI) version of Krypton. (3) I was confused when the storyline deviated from the original version of Superman. (4) I didn't really care too much for the new storyline on Kripton and I felt that the storyline on Kripton was dragging on to long. (5) When Kal-El was finally shipped off on his journey, I was disappointed by his apparent very short flight to earth and its uneventful earth landing. (6) In the next scene we are on a fishing ship and some bearded man is being treated like an idiot after he carelessly did something. (7) There is an emergency distress signal (from an oil platform) coming over the radio, the ship makes an attempt to assist the Coast Guard in a rescue attempt, but the Coast Guard turns down the ships offer. (8) Then this bearded guy (from the ship) somehow ends up on the platform and rescues the trapped survivor's on the oil platform. (9) At first, I didn't even realize that the bearded guy was superman, (until the rescue). I was actually thinking that the oil platform was damaged by the Kal-El infants ship. (10) Next, when the bearded man ends up falling into the ocean. The writer/director/producer tries to tell Superman's childhood history through a series of memories. In a nutshell, all his childhood memories add up to a boy who was constantly bullied and on how his dad (Kevin Costner) teaches his son how to show restraint and to not fight back so he won't be rejected. What a pointless storyline, the boy was already being treated like a reject! (11) To me, this was a huge failure because there were to many gaps in Clark Kent's childhood. I was left wanting to see more "Kevin Costner" - and Clark Kent interaction in the movie. (12) The instant relationship between Superman and Lois Lane was horrible. There was virtually no development of a falling in love relationship there at all. Their storyline seemed like it was written by a teenager who fantasies about love. It was horrible! I'm surprised they didn't fly off to a church and get married the first day they met. (13) The events that led up to the fight scene seemed like it was just hurriedly thrown together, the plot was horrible and hardly made any sense at all. (14) The battle itself was on an absolutely awesome scale, but yet rather ridiculous as well. It was nearly an hour long, and just happened to be within a few blocks of Lois Lane/The Daily Planet/The Drilling Machine-Space Ship? (15) Come on, with the budget of this movie and with the concept that Superman can fly anywhere. Why couldn't they have fought in many places like in the desert of Africa and other places on the earth? (16) With the massive disastrous effects taking place just blocks from the Daily Planet, it's amazing how the only death that was shown was when Superman broke the villains neck. And that seemed ridiculous because Superman had a hard time killing him in order to save the families life. What a ridiculous scene! (17) All in all, the movie was horrible. It had a terribly long and boring/pointless/plot less storyline. There were too many gaps, inconsistencies and bad connections between scenes and various phases of the movie. (18) It seemed like the movie was just thrown together like a jig- saw puzzle. Like the writers/directors/producers thought that the awesome CGI alone would cover up the pointless/plot less in the movie!
What a horrible superman movie!
What a disappointment!
