Lets break down the word GARBAGE

Rating: 1/10 (12 January 2014)

I put off watching this because I was forewarned I would hate it. My friends were right. But it was on a flight and there was nothing else to watch. There are actually people who reviewed this movie and gave it 10/10!!! Then you look at other movies that same person viewed and rated and you see that they gave The Shawshank Redemption a 6/10, or Apocalypse Now a 4/10, which proves the world is full of idiots. So lets break down this movie by what it is: Pure Garbage.
G: For the Grotesque use of some of Hollywood's best actors. You have Russell Crowe, for starters, and you have ZERO story or plot.
A: For the As%ho#e's behind the total disrespect for anything Superman. Way to take a great superhero and a lot of history and flush it down the toilet for CGI and explosions.
R: For the Refund everyone with any sense should have asked for from Warner Bros for allowing this sacrilege to be made.
B: For Banishment. The story holes are more numerous than NBC's Revolution. I could write for days on this, but this one is the most obvious... So Krypton is about to explode. There are spacecraft available, buy you decide to banish murderers on one of the perfectly functional spacecraft instead of trying to save your own people? The mentally challenged behind this film should be BANISHED from Hollywood for murdering the franchise.
A: Did I mention the creators of this filth are As%ho#e's?!
G: For God, cause that's who all the dead in this movie are on their way to see. I mean Kevin Costner basically tells a young Clark Kent that sometimes you gotta let the children drown, even though you can easily save them. Seriously?! That scene just made me angry and you could hate the entire movie for just that one scene. Superman letting people die, and Kevin Costner allowing himself to even speak those lines are preposterous! Then Superman continues to have fights in downtown Metropolis, destroying skyscrapers like donut-holes to a fat kid. There was no warning that Metropolis would be under attack. Are we just supposed to think there are no people in them and that the billions of dollars in damage is no issue? Why not just have the fight in the ocean, or the mountains??? Oh, cause less effect with explosions, right? Terrible!
E: For special Effects. It now seems obvious that a story and good acting no longer have any weight over CGI, special effects, fight scenes and explosions. That's all this movie is. Why not just re title Transformers? Okay, so the movie is an embarrassment to anyone who has ever been a Superman fan or anyone who likes good acting and a story. I actually was excited because I am both a Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe fan. Fortunately, in 1978 Hollywood put out a far superior film with very limited special effects or computer technology. Glenn Ford, Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, not to mention others, were the Russell Crowes of the day, only bigger. They acted, they had a script, and the movie told a story. Oh, and Superman did everything in his power to save a person if he could, and he definitely didn't kill anyone. The 1978 version is no 10/10 by any means, but it is the closest to what Superman is supposed to be. The first half of the movie is beautifully written and filmed. Yes, the second half with Reeve and Kidder is a little silly, but still fun. It is still a solid movie after all these years, and I suggest watching that to clear your mind of anything you might have remembered from Man of Steel.
