Mediocre

Rating: 5/10 (17 August 2013)

No John Williams' score. Dragons?? Seriously... Dragons? Krypton's 'wildlife' should have been kept completely out of it --even if there is any. There was a very odd dynamic between the two star spangled lovers --trying too much to make the story 'different', it failed to carry this viewer along-- and no white robes on Krypton? A spaceship instead of the ice forming his temple? No British accents? So many things that should have been included were let go, things that worked so well in the original. The original 1978 version is so much better. Zod was not menacing, Zod in the original? You just felt his evil. His insanity. This film? 'Guilty' of being mediocre. Even ,IMHO, Superman Returns was better, a film that should have been built upon, why go back to scratch?
