It's an improvement

Rating: 5/10 (27 November 2013)

I believe this franchise has potential, bold statement, I know. I don't doubt financially it will succeed, I surmise from a quality standpoint, and it's an immense improvement over the last reboot effort, Superman Returns. With the combination of director Zack Snyder, screenwriter David Goyer, and the man in the tights Henry Cavill, Superman possess a stronger connection with the average human, something I felt lacked with past depictions.
However, a cardinal critique of mine is that the plot is messy and underdeveloped. Plus, I deem Faora was a more compelling villain than General Zod, and that pains me to confess because I'm such a great admirer of Michael Shannon.
