Well I realize this isn't what everyone had hoped but it is what it is. I normally agree with Roeper, and usually breath a sigh of relief when he gives a positive review. Now I disagreed with him on Captain America, so there's always hope. However what I'm more worried about is that what he wrote in his review is what I feared about the film going in. This film not only seemed like it was Rebooting Superman, but rebooting Superman 1 and 2. I never liked that Zod was chosen as the villain, I'd hoped that they'd go the Batman Begins route and have a villain that hadn't been previously used and focused more on Clark, and less on the villain, but instead Goyer, Snyder, Nolan, or whoever decided it was more important to go into the backstory of Zod and flesh him out. Honestly I could care less about Zod, there are way better Superman villains.
Now I haven't seen the film, so it's not fair for me to write a moratorium until I've seen it myself. But I am concerned for the negativity. But when so many people prop this stuff up like it's Cecil B. Demille's 10 Commandments, I have to put on the brakes and let people know this is a story about a guy who runs around in tights.
