Superman TNG is too daft to laugh at

Rating: 7/10 (17 November 2013)

Depending on how old you are this is either going to be impressive artwork or vacuous nonsense. So this is Superman for the next generation - the Computer Generation, or should that be the next white Hope? Why can't the next generation get their own heroes and superheroes, and based on this does the next generation really need some heart and soul instead? I've always liked superhero movies, up till nowadays that is – I think I'll have to leave it to the next generation as I'm now feeling as much a fish out of water as General Sod was on Earth. To watch these cartoon blockbusters doesn't bring enrichment, only headache.
Olde story of baby refugee from dying planet Krypton growing up and making his superhuman life on Earth but facing massive problems when his surviving former compatriots visit him to discuss some DNA. In the heat of the violent discussion millions of us Earthlings unfortunately have to die horribly, but so what. At least it looks good even if superficial. The cgi cartoonery is large, fast, spectacular and relentless, so when are they going save paying for real actors? The duel scenes were done cheaper, quieter, quicker and better in High Noon. If only Jeremy Irons had had such a deadly female sidekick in Die Hard 3! I wish I could see Mighty Mouse again to compare Henry Cavill and Amy Adams as Clark and Lois are certainly easy on the eyes, but compared to splintering cartoon concrete, pulverising metal and continuous mayhem anything is. Really missed having some Ker-Pow!'s for fisticuff scenes and Krunjjj!'s for when Supey was hurled through half a dozen skyscrapers at a time though.
I enjoyed it to a point, but got nothing of value from it and will never intentionally revisit it. All being well I'll watch Batman Vs Superman when it's finally drawn in the hope that Spidey's there too and they all smash each other to their component atoms and have done with it.
