A fallen hero

Rating: 3/10 (1 July 2013)

Superman is one of the most iconic heroes out there, and he has been with us since 1938. At first he was portrayed as quite ruthless, but in 1940 a new editor decided that superman should have a code of conduct of not killing.
That has ended with this Movie, in several ways.
First of all superman wouldn't let his father die of such a stupid reason of a hidden identity. It's a total 180 of the character we all know to be superman.
Secondly he actually kills one opponent. This is a product of our time and American policies. "It's OK to do whatever is necessary, for the right cause". Superman could in the past always find a way, but in this movie he for some reason doesn't.
Thirdly he fights recklessly and is probably responsible for several innocent bystanders' deaths.
That is why I can't really see this as a proper superman movie. He just wouldn't act the way he does in this movie. As a action movie this still fails at so many levels. The Fights is painstakingly long and pointless. Immortal fighting is not very exiting! There isn't any acting worth mentioning. There is no scientific base for 95% of the things happening. The CGI is quite nice, but who in god's name give pointless CGI a perfect 10 score?
Now for the things that raises the score from 1 to 3.
The Krypton sequence. Henry Cavill have lifted some weights. Russell Crowe. That is it...
