Oh dear....

Rating: 4/10 (20 June 2013)

Crash, bang, crash, bang.
Huge plot holes, poor script, wooden acting (with the surprising exception of Russell Crow), huge budget, characters which generate little empathy.
Growing up, Kent publicly performs all manner of superhuman feats, all of which avoid any public reporting, comment or investigation. Until the arrival of Lane, who manages not only to unearth these feats existence, but link them together and back track them to the Kent farm. In a matter of weeks. Amazing.
Lane knows Kal Els secret identity. The world knows she knows. Are we seriously supposed to believe that she wouldn't be enjoying a quick water boarding & toe-nail removal by some government agency for such information?
Superman is able to physically overcome a collection of similarly empowered, militarily trained, technologically advanced people from Krypton. Yeah right.
When Zod is killed, our hero shows great remorse. For a genocidal maniac. Interesting that he showed no remorse for the tens of thousands of innocents that died as collateral damage from the super conflict.
Considering the budget of this film, this is a wasted opportunity to reboot the franchise. Trite, superficial scripting with no reason for the audience to engage with the characters, this is style over substance at its worst and must surely follow the previous reboot into obscurity.
