Took my kids to see this movie, they liked it more than the adults because it had the feel of a Transformers movie with all the up close fight scenes. Plot was hard for them to follow since it used many flashbacks to show young Clark Kent and how he got his morality. Lois Lane was very unrealistic, like sneaking into the ship when it was 40 below outside or being invited on the bombing run. Over all too many gadgets to keep the crowd interested instead of just a good story... Oh and how many people were presumed killed in Metropolis with all the destruction...
This movie might be considered "OK" except that it is compared to the original 1981 version, which was "Out-Standing". Overall a nice horror flick, without a good plot or any good scary scenes.
I hate it when the movie critics try to read so much into movies that they think the average movie goer is looking for. We are looking for a good plot, some action, some comedy and might as well throw in some bit of a love story for the girls. Movie goers will like this movie, hah to the critics...
