It's not a bird or a plane...it's a CGI disaster

Rating: 5/10 (14 June 2013)

Wow, I'm shocked at how much I disliked this movie. If you were fortunate enough to grow up with Donner's joyful and poetic Superman and Superman II, this hot mess remake comes across like some horrible CGI mash-up of those two films, told - to no benefit - out of sequence, and with absolutely NO sense of humor. This lame movie will likely only please the tragic generation of kids raised on CGI video games and with no grasp of wit. None of the cast need be ashamed - they all come across fine, especially Adams, Lane and Shannon - but Henry Cavill made no real impression. The biggest offender, however, is the director. Zach Snyder should be ashamed. Ever heard of a steadicam? Or master shot? You spazzy fool.
