A disappointment, but some good qualities

Rating: 3/10 (25 July 2013)

When I went to see this I was hoping that this would be a good reboot, but sadly I was disappointed. I did like some of the references that they placed in (like the brief showing of a Lexcorp truck) as well as the prologue of Krypton, who's society and culture remained a mystery up until now. Also there were a few adjustments to the original Superman films that I did like, one of which was fixing his costume which was just plain ridiculous. What I didn't like is how little plot there was. Pretty much the whole movie was fighting, which is good if the movie is short like Taken, but for a movie about two hours long, it's not the best. It also could have been better if they featured a villain that was introduced in the comics but not the second movie, Superman II, but seeing as they wanted to make this more realistic, I can see why they picked General Zod. Overall though, the movie was a disappointment, and I feel they could've done better.
