My Comments:
This movie blows. Not that I was expecting it to be good, I mean it is Superman directed by Zack Snyder afterall but I thought that maybe, just maybe, with that cast it could be decent. No. It isn't. It's bloated. It's ridiculous. The fight scenes are overly long and confusing. There's not really any chemistry between Kent and Lane. And they kill Russell Crowe TWICE. They kill Kevin Costner, too.
About the only plus I can give it is that Crowe and Cavill look great so there is some eye candy to be had. Still, 2 stars is a generous rating.
