I love that speech from Kill Bill and it is always what I think of when I think of Superman. I still think Christopher Nolan is brilliant, but unfortunately it just wasn't enough. Thank for stopping by.

I still haven't seen it yet and I think I'm holding off for this very reason. I had high hopes with Christopher Nolan's involvement and the caliber of the actors involved but the love story and action bits falling flat like that, well that's just the thing that puts a damper in the overall enjoyment of a movie right? I remember that speech from Kill Bill Vol.2 and I tend to agree with you that the way Superman is essentially, makes him a less compelling character than say Batman (for me at least) Brilliant review though, thanks so much for the insight! :)Michelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220874121683955988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-37189115268896270942013-07-13T16:03:22.371-04:002013-07-13T16:03:22.371-04:00Yeah, the romance was definitely under-developed (...Yeah, the romance was definitely under-developed (but I'm sure it will be a major focus in the next film). I am a fan of both actors, so I was disappointed by their lack of chemistry.

The "romance" between Clark and Lois was just... weird. Like you said, there was no chemistry, and it didn't even really make sense that Lois fell for him after meeting him once, even if he did save her life. *sigh* I was really looking forward to Amy Adams and Henry Cavill, too. Disappointing for such a great cast.Nikki Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00891125945877336333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-43646329729449707472013-07-12T21:48:33.507-04:002013-07-12T21:48:33.507-04:00Thanks!

It was when all the fighting started that I dis-connected. It was just too over-the-top and all the destruction was just too much.

I have heard of a lot of complaints (that I completely agree with) about how old the fighting gets in the movie as well as stinkin' destructive it is. It's really ridiculous.

I'm bummed that I didn't enjoy this more. I was really excited about it for months before it came out, but really felt pretty meh about it when the credits rolled.

The fight scenes were so tedious, they could of cut about 20 mins of fighting and they would of still been more than enough. <br /><br />Like you I was underwhelmed by Superman. It was ok but should of been better. I felt General Zod was the strongest part of the film - actor did a great job IMHOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
