CGI versus the plot

Rating: 7/10 (31 July 2013)

First of all, I didn't expect a superhero movie without CGI. It's 21-st century, not film's golden era. What I enjoyed? The fact this Superman doesn't wear panties over the pants. Cavill really knows acting (late Reeve was so desperately bad) and is a nice looking bloke. All of us with beer bellies may want to look like that if we only care about it. The movie is darker than we used to. The unnecessary humor is expelled except in "I grew up in Kansas" line. So what?
What ruins th film? CGI were pretty good but sometimes made me think "when this scene is going to end!?". Sound seemed a little overhauled. Louis Lane is again non attractive and annoying. Characters are generally like made of cardboard. Story (plot?) is, well, there was no story. And another thing. You wanna bring me the new take on the Superman story? Do it like there were no Superman movie before. Don't go with the presumption I've seen or red all earlier works. Some gaps were filled in story we all knew and that's it? Oh c'mon! The way movie is done it only looks like Snyder took some of the magic he used to make completely perverted 80's comic like Watchmen movie, to twist Superman into a more popular antihero rather than Reeves' that wore bright colors and had almost the same motto as US police has.
