Can't we make a superhero without a tortured soul?

Rating: 3/10 (7 April 2014)

Who is the guy who directed this film? I mean, seriously. I wasn't fifteen minutes into the film and I had five or more "HUH?" moments. From simple things like "Why couldn't they put a cloth around their baby instead of giving us a full frontal nudity shot of the kid?" to "Why in the world would they have a monkey skull hidden under their city?" to "Their world is dying but they have time to put General Zod and his people on trial and put them in cryo-stasis?" to "I thought Jor-El said there wasn't time to evacuate the planet but they have time to get the BAD GUY off the planet????" Badly done rendition of Superman that depended on special effects more than good story telling. I know Christopher Reeve's movies were hokey, but this was definitely not the direction to go in. Oh, and let's not forget the little detail of Superman killing the bad guy in the end. Which isn't like Superman. At all. At least be true to the character.
