#1 reason not to join UC
Let me start off by the reaction of other people asking me how this movie was when I met them afterward.
"You don't seem very excited about it."
This movie was by no means bad, mediocre, nor did it live up to expectation.
I saw an advanced screening tonight. Enjoyed it immensely but still felt it fell short. I thought Henry Cavill was pretty weak. And before I continue, I'd like to say that the clear cut reason is that nothing will live up to the Christopher Reeves original. However, it was an epic movie. The fight scenes were top-notch. I really mean amazing and incredibly well done and there are enough of them. E, you and anyone who gives a **** about the Superman mythology will and should be disappointed in Johnathan Kent. Not saying Kevin Costner was bad but his character was stupid and completely ruined the the entire point of Pa Kent. Russel Crowe, excellent but... too much presence I felt. Lois Lane, like Rachel Dawes was completely unneeded and seemed to find herself in every scene/situation. The relationship felt forced and when that kiss came I kind of felt like "where is this coming from exactly?".
Michael Shannon, awesome, awesome, awesome.
I'm no good with reviews. Sorry if it seems overly negative but it was worth seeing. Waiting on the rest of you.
Lexcorp and Wayne enterprise references but nothing fanboys should get excited about.
