Superman?

Rating: Null/10 (16 June 2013)

Way, WAY too much CGI.Too fast, too choppy. Too much destruction. Hard to follow. The final battle scene is way too long and CGI that keeps changing in size proportion is extremely distracting and quite frankly, amaturistic (don't think that's a word). And not necessary. Not sure what or whom Zack Snyder was going for. Movie is much more action-adventure than super hero. I found it extremely weird the casting of Diane Lane & Kevin Costner (really?) as Clark's earthly parents. I mean, what was the last movie these two were in and how long ago? Hello...it's the summer of 2013! Russell Crowe did very well as Jor-El. He's always a pleasure. I did enjoy Superman. Henry Cavill did a very nice job, wore the suit well. I also enjoyed seeing all the "hidden" references to both the last incarnation of the Superman franchise and the TV show Smallville, which I loved. I had higher hopes, but movie fell flat. Audience connection and emotion doesn't come thru with all the special effects commotion happening. I did shed a tear during the tornado scene, even though I can't understand why he didn't just run out and save his dad? I still contend StarTrek is the best movie of the summer. Iron Man 3, a distant second.
