Ayelet Zurer drops the ball on this one.

Rating: 7/10 (15 June 2013)

The kid who plays Kent Clark whines and has no honour, pride, or respect for his powers. He whines and bitches about having these powers, but he doesn't man up or do anything about it. And that comes down from his mother. This Anakin Skywalker vision for the character is miscast. Whilst the movie has no sense for a main character, there is none. Laurence Fishburne was a complete disappointment. Was expecting him to wave up and take the movie by storm, like he did with The Matrix. Since the aliens look very similar. I was expecting great things from him. Like I did with Tom Hardy in Batman. It wasn't even close. Most 3d movies over the last couple of years have brought you in and do good things. But this one, it, there's some shining bright lights in there that really burn the eye sockets.
There's more boat scene in the trailer then there was in the movie. What happened to that? Hopefully we get some more of that boat action because there's a strong that there are some strong missing elements in the story there. The whole boat sequence needed to add more spice to the concentration of the character because there's so much to dream about at sea. I thought we were getting close to sea monsters and that the bad guy would get involved. There's more time in the city than there was at sea. Which is mind boggling.
Where's this island that this mother figure is talking about? This whole sequence is convoluted and off-track. By the end, you think it's over but it's not. The last hour picked up a bit and the best action I've seen all year 'in a movie.' The guy who played the main character. He wasn't big enough. I don't know, this seems to be a very important character and there's no focus on him and what he deems wise, especially in that scene. All in fall, this is not a surprise "Man of Steel" can't jump he just hits the ground. He's too heavy for his own good.
