Watch this recently late to the party 2019

Rating: 7/10 (20 April 2019)

Ok so I just watched Shazam (8/10) and I watched captain Marvel (6/10) at the cinema recently and I have just recently been recommended to watch this also by Angry Joe (see utube).
I was born in 1982 growing up watching the old Chris R superman movies and I loved them. One might say I'm or was a fan at the time.
I watched this and I thought the first half was decent. It had heart and it had promise but then it fell into a Michael Bay explosions CGI fest with the other half of the movie which let it down I felt somewhat.
With Shazam for example, super hero movie fare better when they have heart and lovable entertaining characters that we can relate to. The part in the movie - *spoiler* where Lois Lane kisses superman I rolled my eyes I'm 37 years old not 7. So things like this let the realism down for me and really let the movie down. Also the writing was a bit lame to be honest.
Russel Crow and Kevin Costner both did a great job as well as Zod the villain (the guy from Tigerland) although I feel he can't talk properly he talks as if someone has taken a dump in his mouth. But overall the movie is probably worth 1 - one watch. One watch only. If your an avid Superman fan I would recommend but you might be saying to yourself through the movie 'hang on.... did that actually happen?' A lot of the way through it.
It's a nice take a suppose to a side story of Superman but overall don't expect the comedy and heart of a movie like Shazam.
CGI fest with a tiny bit of heart and slightly interesting story.
That's what your getting ultimately. Maybe I'm getting too old for explosions to impress me these days, but as for some that state this is a masterpiece ??? What are you smoking. Have you seen a good movie ? Think Shawshank redemption, green mile, forest Gump, Braveheart (sorry guilty pleasure), the shining, meet joe black, in my opinion these are much better movies but I suppose it all depends on your taste. Man of Steel does not hold any flame of a candle to a masterpiece but it serves as a nice distraction at least for one hour. The second half of the movie ? Don't expect too much.
Enjoy
Thanks Gaz
