I know, right? I'm naming him Clark. My mom thinks it's after her home town, so she's really happy. I don't have the heart to tell her that I'm a sad fan, and that the name actually is from Superman.
Critique and criticism are not actually the same thing. A critique is a non-judgmental view of an object or person, and is an open-dialogue. Critiques focus on the positive as well as the negative, and are generally a well-balanced view of the subject.
Henry Cavill's performance in MOS is that he's a little rough around the edges, and while talented, he could use a little more loosening up, and he could work a little on his timing. I felt like there were some awkward deliveries of lines that, if he had a little more experience, would have been done with a little more finesse. Overall though, he did a great job as Superman, and I look forward to seeing him grow as an actor as he continues his work in MOS and other films.
Balanced, positive, while acknowledging the issues. That is a critique.
Criticism is an absolute, judgmental view of something.
Cavill was wooden as Clark. Of course, a lot of that is probably due to the script, which was just terrible. Then again, he liked the script. And he doesn't really seem to have any chemistry with Amy. They're just kind of there on screen together. I don't think they're even friends. People in other films have said he didn't go out with them much after work, and he probably didn't go out with anyone on MOS either. And he makes weird faces when he's in scenes. I don't think he can convey any emotion at all, except for maybe three emotions. RDJ is so much better about this. And IM3 was a better film than MOS, and Goyer sucks. But at least Henry looks the part of Superman, except for the fact that his costume was too dark, and didn't have the trunks, and he doesn't have the spit curl. Is his hairline receding? He doesn't seem to have much of a sense of humor either.
There are ways to critique someone without being a passive-aggressive bully.
MOS was the greatest film ever created. I'm making a monument to it out of bottle caps.
