Such a disappointment...

Rating: 1/10 (17 June 2013)

First things first, I am a big Superman fan and I really wanted to like this movie, but I came out of the cinema with a bad taste in my mouth.
Man of Steel just didn't feel like a Superman movie to me. The main problem, for me, is Synder and Goyer. The writing and directing basically sucked, big time. Man of Steel had no heart or soul or character development compared to previous incarnations. If a Superman movie needs anything, it is that.
The scene with Perry White running down the road trying not to get crushed by a falling building for instance, how many of you (be honest now) cared at all If he survived or died? That's what It was like for most of these Characters, I just didn't care, even though I wanted to.
The story was a mess, It just didn't flow nicely at all, with Superman now committing cold blooded murder(comics aside) and Superman and Lois falling in love and sharing a kiss, when only a small amount of time was spent on screen together, It was just unbelievable. I'm guessing the film makers knew of a sequel or maybe a trilogy was to come, so cramming so much into this one movie was just plain wrong, maybe Superman/Clark and Lois' love could have evolved over the trilogy, that would be more believable, and making the viewer actually care for them. I would have liked to of seen less of Jor-El' scenes and more interaction between Clark and Lois, because the chemistry was there, it just needed to be looked into more.
The Actors done a great job with what they were given, especially Michael Shannon (Zod) which made the character his own. which leads to Cavill, I thought he done a pretty good job, he showed all the right emotions but that seemed to take the backseat in the scheme of things as poor directing, writing, noise and over the top CGI played a bigger part, but when has Zynder ever cared about emotion, the answer? He hasn't.
As for the score, It's Hans Zimmer, what more can I say, give him a milk bottle and a saucepan and he can create an emotional piece of music.
Feeling cheated I put on Superman Returns which I originally scored (6/10) to find second time round I enjoyed it more, It felt better, It felt right, It felt like a Superman movie, So I voted it higher :) Final words: Sack Snyder and Goyer then hopefully we can have a movie with Heart, Soul, Conflict and Integrity.
