Exciting but not fulfilling

Rating: 6/10 (6 November 2013)

Let me get the positive things out of the way so I can rant....
SUPERLATIVE ACTION - The movie has the action that finally reaches the scale expected of Superman movies. The action is up close , personal and at the same time grandiose.
REFRESHING CHANGES - The movie makes some slight changes in some parts of Superman mythos which are interesting, refreshing and full of new potential
NOW THE RANT......This movie could have been so....so... much more than it was. The plot especially pre-action felt disjointed , rushed and crammed. Emotions were not allowed to build up and sustained .
The setting ,cinematography ,casting etc. were good but somehow the non action scenes were lacking in emotional depth. I couldn't get invested in the story as much as I wanted to. A little longer treatment was required to get the build that the makers were hoping for.
The romance between Lois and Clark felt fake. Also some of the situations involving Lois appeared ridiculous as they felt forced to contain her presence.
But all is forgotten when the action starts.It is relentless , epic , thunderous . The movie ends nicely and you leave the theater excited for a better sequel
PS...THE MUSIC IS AWESOME and lifts the movie immeasurably.
