There is a space between campy and "violent and gritty," that Superman can occupy. It took itself too seriously, which is part of the reason why the criticisms are quite valid. It THINKS it's a serious film with a great narrative arc and character development. But it doesn't end up that way.


I think this was my major problem with the movie, and why it bored the hell out of me. It wasn't bad, it just took itself way too seriously. I'm not saying it has to be a campy superhero movie, but I didn't have any "fun" watching this movie. Perhaps that's a problem with my expectations, but I really wanted to like Man of Steel.

Zod was definitely the best character in the film.
