95,000 years more advanced than earth?

Rating: 1/10 (17 June 2013)

It seems like the makers of this film are really big into Batman, but may have only heard about Superman through one or two conversations with friends, leaving out important plot points. In the movie it talks about how Krypton's civilization is so much more advanced than ours, but looking at the inside of the buildings, it looks like they are living in caves, with dingy drab walls and almost no furniture. Then within a few seconds of someone disagreeing with you, you are punching each other in the face. I don't see how they made it through the 1st hundred years, much less 100,000 years. Also, if you went into the top scientist home in America, do you think you would find computers and items of deep thought, or would they be like Jor-El and have a suit of Battle Armor? Coming from a highly advanced civilization, I would think as a child, he would be soaking up all the knowledge he can get his little hands on, not cowering in a janitors closet with issues. He is the greatest of all the superhero's by far, no rulers needed to measure this one, but this movie plays more like an alien who comes from a world that is at the same level as ours, he is just stronger. Then that whole thing with Kevin Costner, do you seriously believe you would hear anyone from out in the country areas of Kansas in the 1960's, 1970's, 1980's say, help no one, you should have let the bus load of children die, what happened to "Truth, justice, and the American way". The Kent's were good, loving, American Mayberry RFD type people, not big city people that sat in an apartment and didn't talk to their neighbors. I thought Henry Cavill did a good job as looking like a believable Superman, unfortunately he did not get much support from the script. Laurence Fishburn also had a very believable look as Perry White, but again the script did not seem to make him come across very believable as someone who was running a newspaper and wanted to keep its pages full of print. Lot's of good action, actors, wardrobe, special effects, and even a pretty good story, just as with most movies, TV shows and newspapers today, not much value is placed on the writing, they have to make everyone look like they are on the verge of being committed to a mental ward. There was nothing wrong with Adam West's Batman or George Reeves Superman, and even the 1st Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man, good people trying to help others, the basics of how all the super heroes started.
