Lacked everything we were promised in a new superman *CONTAINS SPOILERS*

Rating: Null/10 (14 June 2013)

I have been looking forward to this movie for the last year and have been a superman fan for quite some time. I did have high expectations but realized they might not be fulfilled and I was OK with that. However, it contained absolutely nothing that I hoped for. It completely lacked the depth that I was hoping for and the pacing was awful. For being an origin story there was almost no origin there was no him becoming superman and how monumental that was which was what I was looking forward to. In one of the first scenes he stumbles across something from krypton and wha la he has the suit and now hes superman just like that. The pacing was awful and there was no emotion in the story and in superman himself Cavil was very simplistic the whole time. The dialog was ridiculous with a line even saying, "Are you f'ing stupid" The entire moral of Superman is to stand for a becon of hope and to show people how to find the best in themselves even when they think they are not capable. The movie showed none of this, aside from Lois it did not show anybody's reaction to this Superman. To tie the knot what made me most upset was in the climax when Zod was about to kill those people and Superman snapped his neck and killed them. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! This goes against everything that Superman has ever stood for. You never kill the bad guy! no matter what! there is always another way they could have easily wrote for Zod to be sent back to the phantom zone. I was a big fan of Smallville and remember begging Clark at the screen to kill Lex because the world would be so much better off. But, he refused because of the moral aspect which is everything that defines superman. Overall, I am very let down because it completely lacked the emotion, depth, and story that we were promised and I am bummed I have to wait another 10-20 years now for them to reboot and hopefully get it right.
