The worst movie in creation!

Rating: 1/10 (13 April 2014)

I am a die hard Superman fan and have watched all the movies, even the not so great ones (yes Superman IV I'm talking about you). I didn't even mind the latest reboot attempt Superman Retuns because it was at least trying to stay true to the ethos of Superman.
I was against this movie before it even came out when I heard who had been cast in the lead and in protest I wouldn't see it in the cinema because I knew it was going to be ruined, the suit alone was testament to that but I eventually caved when my son mentioned he wanted to see it.
Boy I wished I hadn't bothered. My son's interest shifted in and out, even he kept saying things like, but Superman isn't supposed to look like that or do this etc.
I do not know why they decided to DESTROY Superman so badly, oh yes I do, MONEY! For someone who knows nothing about him, this might seem entertaining but for anyone with even the faintest knowledge of his origins/backstory, this movie is criminal.
Clark's actions make no sense. He would never let his own father die and for NOTHING. Not to mention that Clark Sr is a complete dick who thinks it's OK to let little kids die just to keep mini Clark's secret, though why Clark feels the need to run around so blatantly saving people is beyond me. Like he couldn't have used a little subtly even as a kid. I mean, everyone knows he has super powers by puberty for Heavens sake.
Lois Lane is completely impossible to like. All the supporting cast are.
Clark Kent, as iconic as he is, just isn't endearing in the slightest. I mean, it's Superman, the ultimate superhero but Henry Cavill has zero charisma, he just looks good with his shirt off.
General Zod was better in the days of Terence Stamp.
I'm all for a reboot as long as you are going to make a BETTER movie but with Superman, the best, it seems, has already been done. Perhaps there is no one to fill Christopher Reeves' boots or a script that can fully encapsulate such a hero is yet to be written.
If in this age of CGI and over the top big budget action my son can say he thought it sucked and the old movies were better, what does that tell you?!
