This was more like "Man of Steal" (my money).
I walked out of this film just after the jet attack, and Superman crashing into the IHOP with one of the villains. Product placement sure can be annoying. These overload of CGI shows hold absolutely no wonder element for me at all. This disaster fest had no magic, no romanticism, no humor. Violent to excess is an understatement. I will never forget the pure excitement and wonder the 1978 film had. The goose bumps and thrills I got at moments like when Lois said "You got me? Who's got you?" are not to be found anyplace in this poorly scripted mess. Glenn Ford was in the original for less then 10 minutes of screen time, yet his Jonathan Kent's emotional tear jerking death felt like a dear old friend had just passed. They sure don't make them like they used to! I've been following the progress of this film's production over the last few years, and very sad that it's turned out to be total disappointment for me.
