CGI overwhelms the action sequences

Rating: 6/10 (16 June 2013)

I was interested only because of Snyder's direction and Nolan's story. But I must admit I was disappointed. What really let the movie down is the CGI. It was too exotic and you hardly see anything that happens in the action sequences. Especially the climax action sequence feels monotonous and the only thing you remember is that they destroyed some hundred buildings.
Henry Cavill perfectly fits the bill as Superman. Apart from Russell Crowe other characters hardly make any impact. Hans Zimmer as usual nails the BGM.
300's action sequences were complemented well by CGI, but in Man of Steel CGI spoils everything.
Man of Steel's action sequences have too much resemblance to previous alien invasion movies. The climax action is very similar to Matrix Revolutions, you will eventually feel bored and want the movie to end. For a change I have to agree with the critics.
