"OMG! Affleck is, like, you know, AWESOME! I don't care what you say, he's gonna be AWESOME!"

Man of Steel was a nihilistic bit of boring cinema. Lots of big things exploded, and Russell Crowe as Jor-El aside, the only thing I felt after watching it thoroughly a couple of times (to see if I was missing something), was consternation that there is nothing to feel from the film. Lots of cool looking things, nothing more. I was hoping, at some point, Superman might wake Amy Adams from her coma that she played the role while in. But no such luck.
