Like a horror movie that's all screams all the time. Who cares?

Rating: 5/10 (18 June 2013)

I think they gypped the story line in favor of trying to make the biggest visuals and explosions ever. There wasn't enough character and story development to really keep my interest through the extremely long fight and explosion scenes. Half the fun of superman is seeing him show up to save people and watching their reactions, and they didn't handle that very well. You have to be able to really get into the characters to care what's happening. They had so many high-power actors, but didn't make the most of them.
The film has very little color; a lot of dark grays and tans. Even people's skin color looked muddy. The special effects people had a lot of imagination, but there's room for a much wider range of emotions in a movie than just battle tension. The pacing was rather like a horror movie that's all screams all the time. Who cares?
