Not Epic

Rating: 4/10 (21 June 2013)

This film employed the free camera technique to such a high degree that I found it distracting and irritating. In my opinion, the dogged use of this camera style cheapened the the epic stature that a Superman film should have.
Also there was so much fighting. I enjoy a boxing and judo, but the after a third fight I tuned-out and drifted while waiting for the story to begin again... I don't think that the high frequency of fighting and length of each bout contributed to the storyline.
If the speed at which the men or women were fighting were slowed down and the number of fights reduced, perhaps I would have enjoyed the combat a bit more.
Overall I'm glad that I saw "Man of Steel."
