Blinded by the special effects...

Rating: 3/10 (30 October 2013)

I seriously cant understand the reviews for this movie on this website. Or any other website for that matter, I mean, yes its action packed, brilliant special effects, blah blah blah. But where is the acting, were is the character building, where is anything else that people actually used to care about in movies.
The casting for a huge catastrophe, Henry Cavill as Superman was not working, his acting was so forced that sometimes I actually sad for him, I mean the effort he had to put to get the emotion out. All the other characters also felt out of place, not natural. I seemed like its was all forced, I don't how to articulate this better, but that is the way i felt, unnatural.
As for the screenplay, well one thing is for sure, Mr. Nolan does not like chronology, it works, it cools, keeps the audience attentive. But it did not this time, the story for so fast paced that with the added non chronology, It felt broken, disconnected. I couldn't get any connection with the characters, understand them. The option was never given. Throughout the movie you distanced from the screen.
Bottom line.. worth watching for the special effects and some really crash bang make everything blow up and come crashing down scenes. But not a movie to write home about.
