TO THE HASHI: Winner, Bizzaro Superman.
Many die-hard fans of the source material, the easiest of them to please, they’ll praise anything with their favorite characters in it. But if not the average moviegoer than the astute cinophile in the disguise of one will want for something more than pretty spectacle. We got that with the trailers, they’ll say. Give us substance in exchange for our dollars. Chris Terrio’s script shows signs of an effort in that regard, as well as Snyder’s epic direction style and Larry Fong’s beautiful cinematography to compliment it. They brought out much substance in the visual presentation, texturing the film with a look and feel worth every penny of the IMAX inflation. Alas, the sum result of their efforts can be described as having been, narratively, in vain – the painful variety.
