We waited and waited and got...

Rating: 4/10 (23 June 2013)

After reading some early reviews, i went to see "man of steel" with some doubt in my mind. i couldn't figure out from the trailers if this is going to be kal's long journey into himself, or rather this movie has CGI blockbuster written all over it and nothing much else. well, 2 and half hours later i knew exactly what the answer was: a big production with very little heart in it or real appeal to superman fans.
Some pro's called it for what it is: "an opportnity missed", and i couldn't agree more. zack snyder is a great director for his part (Watchmen was great), but somehow the writers handed a script with nothing new in it but a rehash of donner's superman 2, and a lot of fighting and explosions just for the heck of it.
The result all in all, is B sci-fi movie with great actors that had to deal with a crappy storyline. its such a shame that after 7 years since "superman returns" we get a reboot that lacks so much soul and devolpment, and hands us a circus of CGI on the big screen.
Superman really deserves better than this. a lot better.
