I thought it did a good job of breaking that mold and becoming more than just a blockbuster. It had a heart that a lot of those films miss.
Plus, I don't understand how you can criticize Superman being a recognizable icon. It's not the film's fault, and how is that a bad thing anyway? Is every future Batman, Die Hard, Indiana Jones or Star Wars film just ticking the boxes because they all have iconic characters in them?
I also don't find the backstory to be lightly touched on, considering we spend at least half an hour on Krypton and even more in Kansas. Regardless, everyone should know Superman's backstory at this point, considering he has been around for over 70 years. I mean, come on.
It might have but it's execution was a mess.
When the character is used simply to cash in and put butts in seats that's bad.
It was poorly edited with bad shaky cam. Yeah we know the story but some care could have been put into it to make it flow well. The movie was pretty jumbled. Past, Future, Present, Past, Present, Past, Present. It couldn't make up it's mind. Like I said the movie was Mediocre at best. It could have been handled much better than it was. You like it, that's okay. I respect that.
Amen to that. Costner saved the film when he was in it. His scenes reminded me a lot of my own father.
I don't think Superman was cashed in on at all, or any of the characters.
Pa Kent is actually one of the elements of the film I wish was better. I liked the idea of Superman's two fathers, much like Batman who has both his father Thomas and Alfred, but Jor outshined John big time in my eyes. I just wish more was done with Pa Kent. I will admit though, the moment where
Still, I don't like how much he wanted Clark to hide who he was, and thought his death was poorly executed and unnecessary.
There are times where the cast stumble, sure, but I think that is more to do with some of the writing than anything else. I mean, Pulitzer Prize winning Lois "freaking" Lane says the word "tinkle!" Unacceptable...
In all seriousness, I think Henry had some great moments, my favorite of which is
I remember saying after I'd just seen the film that I thought that Cavill was relatively boring in the role and that my favourite scenes in MOS were the ones with Costner who gave a good performance.
Cavill is no Chris Reeves that's for damn sure!
I think that's sometimes key. The level of expectation can sway your opinion of a film. To be honest, my expectations of MoS were met. I thought it would be mediocre and that's how I'd describe it best.

I was thinking exactly the same thing!
She looks nothing like the character she's supposed to be portraying. Of course, neither does Daniel Craig.... ;)
I've no idea why you'd say that.
