Geeky Randy's summary

Rating: 3/10 (22 April 2014)

It's a bird It's a plane It's a superhero that's responsible for more deaths than the villain!
The BATMAN BEGINS of SUPERMAN (with the former's director being one of the latter's producers), except half as fun and a quarter as good. The movie details the origin of Superman (Cavill), from the CGI infested planet Krypton to the CGI infested climax on Earth where the superhero likely causes more casualties than villain General Zod (Shannon) ever planned to be responsible for. And where to begin with the overblown A-list cast that's led (yet again) by the unknown actor playing Superman? Amy Adams is simply not spunky enough to be Lois Lane; Kevin Costner is as unconvincing as usual, what with his blank expressions and his monotone delivery how does this guy get work?; Fishburne plays Perry White, and really serves no purpose to this particular story; Russell Crowe is irreplaceable; Diane Lane equals *yawn*. Would it be wrong to assume that the cast is unnecessarily comprised of all-stars in order to compensate for the lack of quality in the story? Hmm.
*½ (out of four)
