Customer Reviews

Repetitive, redundant, superfluous, monotonous, tedious

I guess it wouldn't be a “Superman” if too many changes were made to the original story. However, the presentation relied heavily on noise and repetitive, gratuitous violence. The CGI, which is the real highlight of the movie, was juvenile and one-dimensional. If you can't think of a good line, then just break something. That might make for an interesting cartoon. The production made this look like a run-of-the-mill Avengers movie. They also relied too heavily on flashbacks and more flashbacks. Antje Traue as Faora-Ul had a nice evil look. I would like to tell you that there are interesting DVD extras. However, all I watched was a rental version with no extras. One reason for renting is to see if it is worth purchasing. With no extras, it made the decision not to purchase for me.
