Man Of Steel Review
In Man of Steel, Zack Snyder tries to reinvent the origin of superman. Do they suceed? Well...
We start off in Kyrpton and spend quite a bit of time there before Kal-el is even sent off to earth. Kyrpton looks pretty cool and Russell Crowe did the best he could with the time he had there but once little Kal-el is sent off in his ship, the movie hits the ground hard.
Clark is shown as an adult and we get to know him in a series of very choppy, badly directed flashbacks. While the casting for Clark as a child was pretty good, the actors themselves I wasn't very impressed with.
My hopes for this movie were REALLY high. I wanted to like it very badly despite the bad critic reviews, but honestly, I just didn't. What kept going through my mind was, "Why should I care?" and "When will this end?". The end half of the movie is overwhelmed with a lot of boring action while the character development is nowhere to be found. Lois and Clark had NO chemistry whatsoever and I didn't understand why they cared so much about each other.
No one really killed it in their roles and the plot was EVERYWHERE! I am very disappointed with this film and honestly I doubt there ever will ever be a good superman movie. Again, I really wanted to like this and really tried to find the good in it, but everything was just so bad that I couldn't even be entertained by it. Sadly, (and it pains me to do this) I give Man of Steel a 1 out of 5 stars because it really was just a hot mess. But hey, on the bright side, Henry Cavill is really good looking. (Hate It)
