We were all excited to see this movie. Especially those who survived the premiers of Christopher Reeve's first movies. And what did they get?
They got 3 odd hours of Lois Lane and an occasional spattering of Superman himself. For the most part he was gone, returning only to destroy the town in his fight with General Zod.
The movie on the whole was grey, bleak, and comprised mostly of flashbacks and history. The humor was forgettable, as was everything except the ending, which left us all with a slightly disgruntled feeling. On the positive side, you get to relax and watch as buildings topple and metal crumbles like tinsel beneath the awesome ab powers of those from Krypton.
It was a movie not worth saving up for unless you're a real die hard Superman fan, or you're watching it with friends. Which is quite a bummer, especially for Christopher Nolan fans. We were expecting something smashing, like Inception or The Dark Knight Rises, but instead we got the leftovers of Nolan's genius.
I'd give this a 2 of 6. Aside from the shaky, dizzying cinematography, that's all there is to say about it. Quite disappointing, really.
