I thought Amy and Henry had ample screen time together so I loved their developing relationship. Unfortunately, if you bring anything really new to a superhero, you risk alienating a core audience so I can see why Snyder held back. The sequels will be more awesome for sure. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443736284850057306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021635145002263987.post-1797677711441883452013-06-23T10:10:39.071-07:002013-06-23T10:10:39.071-07:00Origin stories are always clunky, which is why I u...Origin stories are always clunky, which is why I usually shudder with dread when I hear about a reboot.

The chemistry between Superman and Lois wasn't explored enough for me to care about their relationship. Michael Shannon stole the show. Russell Crowe did fine for my taste, but his performance needed more consistency. Henry Cavill did excellent and smokin' hot onscreen. The director Zack Snyder didn't bring anything new to Superman, he ONLY brought a new vision to him. By all means, I had a blast watching Man of Steel, but it didn't fulfill my ridiculously high expectations. I know the sequels will be better than the origin story.Livia Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00059335917756643684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021635145002263987.post-30876584992625680062013-06-23T09:53:01.279-07:002013-06-23T09:53:01.279-07:00I wasn't sure how well Adams would fit the rol...I wasn't sure how well Adams would fit the role, but she was great. Not the best superhero film, but solid. And it should get us past the origins story. (Which is a downside with reboots - they always have to start with an origins story.)Alex J.
