missed the boat

Rating: 5/10 (19 June 2013)

just seen MOS. Hmmm, disappointed to say the least, this movie just doesn't have heart like the earlier chris reeve films. I like the bits of him growing up and for me that was the best stuff but there needed to be more as it wasn't explored enough. There is also way too much cgi,especially the beginning on krypton and the final showdown. While some of it is brilliant some of it also isn't. The flying scenes were impressive over the sea and through the clouds but the fast up close stuff wasn't. The big end battle had so much devastation it was like superman you've probably killed a few thousand people with the damage to buildings you've caused so it would have been best if you had just left and fought elsewhere. I always thought superman would fight but with causing as little damage or threat to human life as possible but that just doesn't happen here and it didn't feel right. There was so much slam bang action none of it meant anything as it went on and on and so there was no stand out stunts or moments. The movie kept my attention but I didn't feel any real emotion for this film apart from one bit with pa kent. I will definitely watch 2 because I think it will be truer to the original concept and more grounded. Cavill I have to say is perfect for superman today both in looks and acting wise so hats off to him. Half marks from me, 5/10 as it wasn't really a bad or good film but I probably won't watch it again.
