What a disappointment

Rating: 3/10 (7 July 2013)

I really wanted this Superman movie to be great, instead I walked out of the cinema feeling disappointed at yet another movie that has sacrificed good writing for as many special effects as it can cram into a couple of hours.
CGI can't and won't ever replace a good script, this movie, the latest Star Wars movies and many others are example of this in the last decade. Back when Independence Day came out CGI mass destruction was cool, it looked great, now, it still looks good, but it's getting old. I can't get past the fact that half of Metropolis was destroyed in this movie, a lot of the destruction was caused by Superman himself. How will the Americans fix that!? It's taken more than a decade to rebuild the World Trade Centre site! Yet I'm sure in any future sequel everything in Metropolis will be back to normal. Oh and beside the destruction let's not forget the hundreds and thousands of people that no doubt died! Good job Superman.
Like I said I wanted this movie to be great, but it was disappointment, largely let down by a ridiculous storyline and over reliant on CGI mass destruction.
