A sad time in the history of Superman

Rating: 4/10 (10 August 2013)

It's almost a century since 2 kids who were down on their luck created the world's most iconic and inspirational hero. And there has been several remakes and reboots since that time. Unfortunately, this latest installment is all about showing off with modern tech and special effects, with little real substance.
There is no story. It starts with the usual Krypton agenda and then just melts down into chaos and destruction. If anything, the makers have conjured up a script that keeps wrecking itself and which in turn allows the main characters to wreck everything in it for more explosive scenery and effects with little regard to any potential innocent lives that might be at risk.
Even Christopher Reeve (the best guy to ever play the title character) in his Superman movies always put innocent lives first no matter how minor the probability of injury to them.
The movie refused to progress after I gave it an hour, it was continually spiraling into on screen destruction and more destruction. We kept waiting for something else to happen!!
There are some obvious occurrences in the film which will echo a lot of 'WTF?' phrases, but I will leave that to you. Don't waste too much time or money on this, wait for it on DVD or something...
Here's hoping they get it right next time.
