Where Was Superman in this Movie?

Rating: 4/10 (24 June 2013)

For anyone that grew up reading Superman comics or enjoying Superman movies you will immediately notice that this is a VERY different story than we've ever seen on "Superman". The Superman we knew protected people and the planet with his life. He also protected his identity and developed a love affair with Lois Lane. He was faster than a speeding bullet. He was driven by principle and purpose. So I ask, where was "that" Superman? The writer and director of this movie chose to abandon the actual history of the character and literally just make one up of their own. This Superman has no problem letting people die or killing people. His struggles with who he is and what his purpose is. As for him and Lois, they have a very poorly developed attraction to each other in this movie.
The movie is FILLED with plot angles that make little to no sense, and it BEGS viewers to abandon sensibility and just focus on the explosions, graphics and action. And trust me, there is A LOT of action. For me, it was too much action and too little actual story.
This is not a Superman that this generation of kids should get to know. This was an abomination of the Superman story and character and only gets 4 stars because of solid acting by people like Russell Crow & Kevin Costner and because the graphics guys did their jobs well.
To DC Comics, you really owe your fans an apology. How could you do this to the most iconic action hero in modern history? Shame on you.
