I loved the trailer to this new reboot of the Superman franchise so I had high hopes for the film, but I came away from the cinema feeling a bit underwhelmed and disappointed. Parts of the story are interesting and I liked the way Michael Shannon's villainous character is integral to the plot but director Zach Synder and whoever wrote the screenplay explain certain things in a clumsy way that I found unsatisfactory. Michael Shannon is the best thing about the film. How many times have I said that recently about this fine American actor? The story should have been given more thought and less attention should have been given to the fight sequences which, dare I say, reminded me of the mess that is Michael Bay's Transformers. Too many buildings are destroyed, and it's a bit over the top and messy. Watchable in parts but ultimately a let down. 6/10
