What Was Good Was Good, What Was Too Long Was Too Long

Rating: 6/10 (20 June 2013)

What is it with some producers these days? There are those who seem to suffer from a no shut off valve ailment. Trust me, long doesn't necessarily equate to better. Take this movie as a good example. Had about an hour of never-ending battles been cut from this film, it would have beenwellsuper. As it was, it seemed like just another villain who will not, can not, die epic. The casting is perfect. Every single character was portrayed by the right actor and actress. No quarrel with that part. But the battles and fights that seemed a constant assault on the senses were over-load. I attended this movie with a friend who is a true to the bone Superman fan, has never, nor would ever, miss a single movie about Superman...and even she came away from this one unhappy. Bottom line, too much, too long, too aggressive. Too bad.
