Just another remake that falls short...

Rating: 5/10 (25 February 2016)

Ritualistic, stylistic and not much more. Full of Smash, bash, beat 'em up and destruction, it will surely please all the immature little kids out there...but it doesn't do much for the moderately intelligent. Stan Lee did his infamous bit performance here, so he probably approved the outing. Or is it perhaps that he is becoming desperate. No matter, he is becoming a liability rather than the anchor he once was in the Fantasy genre.
Man of Steel is chock full of action, but very empty in the areas of back story and character building. In this film no character is sacred, especially Superman himself. Relying solely upon visuals, there isn't any real story line to grab onto. We are treated to more astounding technological wizardry that isn't explained certainly, and scene after scene of monumental fighting and destruction, but only one or two scenes total showing the Superman soul...as I said in the Summary, just another remake that falls short.
