Man Of Steel once again proves that DC is a one man band

Rating: 3/10 (12 June 2013)

The film feels like a lot of it got cut out and the film was edited together with music and ended up feeling like a never ending trailer.
The first time I can cite pacing issues and actually mean it. The film is stunning to look at it, but the film doesn't really have a conversation until the last act, it's insane. The film also does a crazy amount of expositions because it wants to be an origin story, but doesn't have the balls to be a character piece.
The film has these great action set pieces, but when you see other people are in danger around Superman, you care very little, because the film spent no time developing any of the side characters. The film is cliché, generic, formulaic, and just isn't a lot of fun. I wouldn't have mind a character piece, but the film instead tries to be just another action film, but without the boisterous pleasure of something like The Avengers or Spiderman 2.
