I so wanted to love this film, but it disappoints on most levels

Rating: 4/10 (16 June 2013)

I can't even begin to describe my disappointment.
Having just returned from watching Man of Steel I am writing my first IMDb review, such is my level of dejection at the ruination of what should have been a stunning movie.
Too fast, too confusing, too loud, ridiculous flashbacks, the plot is simply terrible, I really don't know what more I can say.
Henry deserved so much more to work with! He makes for an excellent Superman but please take this to a Director who will handle it with the care, merit and attention it deserves.
Of all the films I have ever watched (and it's a lot at 44 years of age), none has ever disappointed as much as this. I feel as if someone has murdered what should be the best movie franchise of all time. You get a character who is invincible yet torn of emotions, a love interest, heroic act at every corner, comic ability when required and a deficiency that can be exploited. Yet they've ruined ever single one of those elements.
Ignore those desperate to see their hero succeed in this film. I wanted to give it 10/10 but I also don't want people to waste their money at the cinema.
Abject disappointment like never before. Pretty gutted in all honesty.
