In one sentence, "It lacks heart"
In one word, "Disappointing"...because I'm still a nice guy (if not as a fan of Superman, the score is) 6.7/10
My comments from the previous post is already a good enough review about Man of Steel.
Individually, the actors portraying their characters are great, but there was just no chemistry, I didn't feel anything about their connection to each other. The plot development pretty much sucked, not making us relatable to their emotions.
There's also the shaky cam effect throughout scenes that do not need it. (although this could've been because I was not watching the Digital version, and it's just a VERY INEXPERIENCED crew behind the projector)
To each his/her own, but still...how can you say you don't like Amy Adams as Lois Lane because she is....too old?
What kind of Lois Lane did you expect? If she were just playing a die hard journalist who wants to know the truth but also keeps her morality in check because the truth might scare the world, but it so happens that the reporter is a woman, then she's perfect for it as a modern day Lois Lane.
The circumstances in which she was helpless are all events that she cannot get herself out of (falling from a plane, Supes catches her). The escape scene was an example of where she isn't helpless at all.
CGI scenes/fight scenes were spectacular, but truly, do you want to see just those CGIs? I'm a sucker for smart dialogues, not hack-n-slash.
I did see one review that mentioned "There's a big twist in the movie that will make every fanboy debate about it...or not."
And truly that twist is what saved this movie for me, as it makes it more...."Batman Begins"
. But you won't see it until somewhere around 2 hours later...because of that twist, I jacked up my score to 7.3/10...
But still, Zack Snyder, as a director you've failed Christopher Nolan. Prepare to have inception, and a bat haunting your bedroom...
I got to watch today cos I'm on the premiere invite!
