10 reasons why Man of Steel disappoints

10. Tedious action scenes 
Although it packs a lot of  action there is no scene that really takes your breath away. In a word it gets tedious.


 09. Amy Adams
Amy Adams is a very bland Lois Lane.

08. Michael Shannon
is miscast as General Zod and instead of displaying powerful ruthlessness he is a mere barking dog.

07. The opening scene on Krypton
Although well made, is a ridiculous action scene where the scientist Jor-El takes on Zod's henchmen and goes swimming in a Matrix-like underwater breeding station. Intead of making this key scene grand and beautiful, the filmmakers chose to turn it into a Star Wars-Avatar-Matrix themed action scene.

06. Jonathan Kent´s death
Another scene that should be a key scene in the movie sent my eyes rolling. It was just incredibly stupid. Why did they have to make it another action scene with a tornado involved? Really? He dies in a tornado? And Clark Kent does nothing? Outrageous.

05. The ending
I mean after the final battle, those scenes were just dreadful. There is a scene where Superman talks pointlessly to a general and his assistant laughs and says "I just think he´s kind of hot". After the heaviness of the movie this joke misses the mark completely. And there at the very end Clark Kent is now a journalist at The Daily Planet. How convenient!

04. Charmless
Where is the charm? The fun? There is not one witty or funny scene in the movie.

03. Flow
The movie does not flow well. Part due to a lot of flashbacks, part due to editing and a big part do to senselessness. A lot in the movie just doesn´t make any sense. Why did Clark Kent all of a sudden in primary school start to have X-ray vision?  Why does Lois Lane just pop up like in the train station? Why did Zod want Lois Lane aboard his ship?

02. Lois Lane and Clark Kent/Superman chemistry
There was obviously no chemistry involved so that kiss in the end was painful to watch.

01. Fast pace
The movie is in too much hurry to give way for the next action scene that little time is taken to giving the characters and their interactions any depth. There is basically no time to care about these characters.
