A movie should leave you wanting more, not less!

Rating: 4/10 (17 June 2013)

Here's my overview of Man of Steel:
Beginning: Look at how amazingly awesome and powerful Superman is!
Middle: Look at how amazingly awesome and powerful these other guys are!
End: Look at how amazingly awesome it is when Superman and these other guys fight each other!
Less than halfway through the movie, I was completely desensitized to the action. Z.S. doesn't seem to know that a film exists primarily to tell a story, not just to show action. By the end of the movie, I was BORED of all the action. Yes, BORED. True, it looked freaking AMAZING! But, there was no dynamic range. It would have had WAY more impact had there been some subtlety, had it been doled out gradually. By the end, I simply didn't care. Actually, I didn't really care about any of the characters either, except for Superman himself; ZERO character development. Like, why was I supposed to care about Perry White's intern being trapped in the rubble. I was just introduced to her basically in that same scene! I was like, "Who is she, and why is she suddenly so important?" Z.S. needs to go and learn about: SUBTLETY, PACING, PLOT DEVELOPMENT, and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. A good movie has these things, whether it's an action movie or any other genre. I was disappointed, but I should not have expected any better from this director, who does not seem to be maturing as a film-maker at all (sadly).
