OK, so why the heck is this sporticus guy running around doing flips like a monkey every damn second? Quite distracting if you ask me but then again there isn't much story to be had anyway.
Very cheesy, not the greatest acting on the part of Sporticus who i will give credit only for being an athlete. The other 2 characters are more interesting.
I gave it 2 stars for those other actor's contributions and because of the healthy message for kids, but sheesh they need a half decent actor who is YOUNGER to play Sporticus.
Someone with a bit of charm who doesn't take himself as seriously but who you can take more seriously OK, figure that one out ;)

Any new Superman movie is a must see for me and i went in intrigued by the possibilities of a "modern" spin on this classic tale.
It had some interesting angles like the brooding, handsome, tortured hero bit and the new "bio leather" type costume but though there were some good parts the whole film seemed disjointed like some weird, cool alien with no vertebrae.
Firstly, the whole opening sequence on Krypton was too long. Also, Zod was less than captivating. So was Amy Adams who didn't fit the role of Lois Lane. Bummer.
The flashbacks were cute but not as rich as I would have liked. Neither did they fit seamlessly into the narrative. There was no feeling like, "oh wow, i really wanted to know that and boom here comes flshback." it was more like, "getting bored....oh flashback? Yes please. And afterwards- OK, whatever."
The action sequences were boring to be honest. The tension created in a single encounter like the one in the bar when the guy punches Clark for standing up to him was greater and had more opportunity for drama than the entire long, drawn out fight sequences with Zod's drones.
They set the movie up for some strong drama and then let it devolve into some phony sentiments between him and Amy Adams and him vs the Zod crew.
For me this was the third in a line of 3 disappointing superhero films lately.
The worst: Avengers. Yuck
The second to worst: Dark Night Rises
The best (but not as good as it could've been) Man of Steel

As a watcher of many movies I often find myself bored at watching the same tired clichés recycled over and over and packaged as original movies.
Thats why i was refreshed to watch this movie- a film that has an original story and gives us a look at a different world.
I found the casting to be excellent. The male lead was strong & handsome and inhabited his role with controlled emotion and dignity. The female lead was beautiful in an innocent way and her demure manner and emotional expressions were well suited for her role.
Well done & thanks for a good film experience!
