Superman man of steel 20134/5/2024 ![]() There are three separate Kryptonian expeditions to Earth - one of which has nothing to do with Kal-El or General Zod. Not to mention all the gizmos and effects that don’t get special names. ![]() Somehow the filmmakers have turned one of the simplest superhero origin stories into an overstuffed tale involving a Codex, a World Engine, a Genesis Chamber and a Phantom Drive (which I think gets converted to a warp engine, or vice versa, or possibly both). There’s too much plot, too many sci-fi conceits, too much technobabble, and almost certainly too many holes. (I say this as a lifelong lover of comic books and superhero movies, who put The Avengers on my 2012 top 10 list.) From a dragon-riding Russell Crowe as Superman’s father Jor-El battling the forces of Michael Shannon’s General Zod on Krypton, to a numbing finale so catastrophic that a sequel (or, mirabile dictu, a Justice League movie) would be hard-pressed to outdo it without destroying the planet, the film bludgeons the audience with scarcely any respite.
