It was two and half hours of ridiculous nonsense that made me profoundly disappointed. After watching trailers for upcoming movies and then this, it became clear that movies in general are being dumbed down. This one today is Exhibit A.
The story line bore little to do with the Superman legend except for the "S" on his shirt, which we are told, is not an "S" but a symbol from Krypton. It was two hours of computer-generated space-ship crashes and building collapses. The other half hour was a putrid combination of Star Wars, It Came from Outer Space, Field of Dreams (complete with Kevin Costner watching his "kid" in a corn field), and Bewitched ("You're not like other children, but you have to keep it a secret."). Several fight scenes offensively resembled the horrific scenes from 9-11, complete with a skyscraper collapse after a vehicle crashed into it followed by petrified pedestrians running away from a cloud of dust.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
