Not great

Rating: 3/10 (22 March 2016)

I watched this because I plan on watching Batman vs Superman later on this week and thought I needed a catch up. Halfway through I found myself checking the time to see when the movie was going to finish and towards the end I was checking the time more and more frequently. There were several things I didn't like about the movie:
1. General Zod trying to take control of Krypton with like 5 people and 5 ships.
2. General Zod failing to take control of Krypton after he and his 5 people and 5 ships get surrounded by (or surrender to) ?government forces. I don't know what to make of that whole scene.
3. Clark Kent's father turning up when those kids were bullying him.
4. The dog being in the car when the tornado struck. Why were they travelling with their dog in the first place?
5. Casting of Louis Lane: personally I preferred Amy Adams in rom coms. Louis Lane played by AA is a likable character but doesn't come off as being the intelligent, strong willed news reporter that I want her to be.
6. It could just be me, but the clergyman in the church looked evil. I thought he was Zod in disguise until I saw the real Zod.
7. Why was there a random desert scene in the middle of the movie? And why didn't Superman and Louis Lane have their little heart to heart before they reached the barriers? That scene felt very awkward.
8. How and why did the fight scenes switch from Clark Kent's hometown to a very populated city. Why did Superman not try to minimise damage? Instead he let a truck hit the building he was standing in front of and jumped like a boss through the gap.
9. How did Jenny get trapped under that building and not the other two? That was the second stupidest moment in the movie.
10. Superman killing Zod in one second, which he had not done in the preceding one and half hours because of his morals. How can those morals go out the window in a second?
11. Louis Lane turning up at the museum. That must have been the stupidest moment in the whole movie.
12. The woman soldier at the end of the movie smiling because Superman was "hot". That was the third stupidest moment.
The more I think about it, there are so many inconsistencies and random scenes. Too much pointless action. Too many explosions. They were just included for the sake of it. Poor storyline after the first 40 minutes. Became boring after the first 40 minutes. I should have just read the synopsis. Hope Batman vs Superman is better.
