Meh....Action sequence was too Michael Bay-ish

Rating: 7/10 (15 June 2013)

This could have been a great movie. Picture if Terrance Malick and Christopher Nolan directed a movie, this would be it. The only disappointment was the fight scenes. They reminded me too much of Michael Bay's transformers. They were confusing and unrealastic. Also all the blatant brand placement cheapened the movie and took away from its richness. The brand placement went overboard. I don't think I have ever seen so many brands displayed in a single movie in such a shameless manner before. They made sure that every brand shot got a good 5 seconds of air time. If someone checked their phone the NOKIA logo took up half of the screen etc. Seriously? I felt embarrassed for the main actors who signed up for this movie/2.5hr commercial. Well I guess they needed some way to pay for all the cgi they used in the excessive, mindless fight scenes.
The guy who played Super Man was perfect for this role. Great looking Guy, strong dark and silent. The guy who played the villain was too cartoonish. I couldn't really take him seriously.
All the flash back scenes of when Kent was a boy were pure magic. Like art. Very touching stuff. But I definitely think they got carried away with the cgi and action.
