I was really looking forward to seeing this, being a fan of the original movies. Nearly 35 years have passed since the original Superman, so I knew it would be a different beast altogether, but this sloppily written venture was a disaster in its own right.
The story was hampered by the director/writer trying too hard to incorporate original characters like Lois Lane, who really just did not belong in this film, There was no necessity for her to be in this film at all.
Then there is the action! There just seemed to be no end to the smashing up of things, it became so tedious I almost walked out. Zack Snyder has made some brilliant films, but I did walk out of "Sucker Punch" which has now garnered my worst ever movie award, and this seemed to follow on from this. Beautiful, highly stylized but essentially an empty exercised.
Henry Cavill was pretty good though.
