So bad on so many levels

Rating: 1/10 (4 October 2014)

Sigh. Why must Superman movies suck? I do think they handled the Zod character fairly well (and well acted)....and that's about it. Otherwise this is so bad and on so many levels that it's almost amazing in that way. From the overdose of smashing and crashing everything in sight (apparently Superman didn't care about the people who doubtless died while he engaged in his macho fist-fights that destroyed about oh 10 million buildings) to the bad acting - Cavill is boring and his "emotionally intense" moments not at all believable - to a handful of has-beens playing forgettable parts (Coster is wasted and the "it's OK if some people die to project your secret," are you kidding me? Oh and let's not forget how once again the all-powerful PC Race Card rears its ugly head from PC HQ (Hollywood) as suddenly Perry White is black. Well gee whiz sports fans why stop there? Why not make Superman black? Or how about Batman Chinese?) to a disjointed and simply horrible screenplay, to the lack of credibility in so many ways, the total lack of characters I care about (including Superman), the list goes on and on. Even the outfit was dumb. What's up with a "scaley" suit? This is Superman, not Aquaman.
If you haven't seen this garbage yet, consider yourself lucky. If you want a Superman fix, watch the original (the only one worthwhile) or get your hands on re-runs of "Smallville." Those people actually knew how to create interesting/likable characters and plots (and...etc etc).
