Worst Superhero Movie. Ever.

Rating: 1/10 (29 June 2014)

I've been watching and reading Superman since the 1960's. Comics, the George Reeves TV series, movies. Yes I am that old. This movie is a travesty. The only good thing about this movie is that it is so ridiculous that it can't be taken seriously. The scenes do not flow, the storyline isn't explained well to the audience, the first hour of the movie is so all over the place that it's just nonsensical. And just when you think the movie is finally getting its act together, it just gets weirder. And weirder. And more bizarre. And finally, just stupid. They ruined it right off when Superman almost immediately blows his cover to Lois Lane. Really? Couldn't we have a little mystery between these two? And then her. Lois Lane. Oh. My. God. She went from being a mere reporter at the Daily Planet to a major action figure, taking off into space, fighting Kryptonians, and standing by her Superman, who, despite being FROM Krypton, has to use HER idea to finally kill off the bad guys. That's because, you know, Superman can't figure that out without her help, even though she has no idea what she is talking about, but is just taking a lucky guess. The only thing Superman was good at in this movie was breaking stuff. A LOT of stuff. Seriously, think of the most stuff you've ever seen broken in a movie, factor it up by about ten, and you're close. And not only did he break a lot of stuff, he didn't seem to know or care if anyone else was in the way when he was breaking it. You know, things like dozens upon dozens of high-rise office buildings being completely taken out. Which, by the way, should have meant at least 50,000 people trying to escape but for some reason the streets had remarkably small crowds that day (should have hired some more extras). I could go on and on but really, at the end of the day, this movie was more about Lois Lane being a hero than Superman being one. Watch Superman II instead.
