IMO this wasn't really a movie so much as a vehicle for executive greed trying to capitalize on Avengers success.Just seemed like a whole bunch of random situations/ideas crammed in so the film can make big bucks opening overseas and advertising for the next Disney/Marvel movies. Don't even ask about the Mandarin. Not enough room for the problems there.Poorly plotted action sequences,lot's of forced jokes,re used cg, anti climactic, and generally lost trying to figure out what it wants to be. Faverau dodged a bullet here imo. Really hoping Black was rolled over by non-creatives pulling the strings as I had higher hopes for him. Not to mention the amount of artist work that was done and then completely ignored by bumping artists off the credit list amongst other wrongs. Sad that movies spending hundreds of millions of dollars fail due to ego and greed. Hey,at least the upper crust can get a new supercar with the cash they made though. Hopefully DC will repair this void with Man of Steel.
