over complicated and rushed

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2013)

2 Min's into the movie I had a sinking feeling, actually when I heard Russell trying to sound intellectual I had a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. Then they threw in a bit from Avatar and the matrix for some reason some Prometeus was there too. And you could have tacked on that last half hour onto the Avengers or visa versa and you could hardly tell the difference. What about the ending .."without his head he's powerless".
Superman should have being a no brainier, how can u not find a script, its there in 1979 and the one after and for god sakes take your time, you could have made 3 movies to get to the point where Superman has ended up in this one. Movie one origin, without that ridiculous krypton scene in Man of Steel (Marlon Brandos 5 Min's outclasses that whole 20min shambles. he lands family shelter him till hes able to control his powers then high school(loads of filling there for awkward teen who has the ability to kick ass but has to restrain himself), Mr Kent giving him pearls of wisdom along the way before he dies....naturally. Again the natural death of Mr Kent was important and much more profound that the tornado scene in MOS, it was an important lesson for superman and showed him to be much more vulnerable. Then he goes to figure out where hes from drawn to the crystal palace and gets his cape which I would have loved if Jor-el wrapped his son in before he puts him into the escape pod, again for me no brainier and its these little things that make a movie not skyscrapers falling down all over the place.
Any way you could end there after he turns up in ,Metropolis save Louis Lane from some impending disaster in full super man outfit before turning up at the Daily planet for a job and she still doesn't know who he is.
Movie two Superman doing his thing, Louis trying to figure out who he is, Lex Luther trying to harness his power all that stuff. loads of fun stuff including the iconic superman music changing persona etc.
Movie 3, General Zod lands on planet earth and demands the Surrender of superman.
Come on people.....
