The scores are 72 RT and 74 imdb. Still a C grade
Snyder didn't give him much to work with. There's multiple scenes where he doesn't even say a word. He barely spoke the first hour.
Look at this:
He looks like he'd rather be somewhere else and not saving people. The lack of color doesn't help the mood either.
Maaan irrc Lois was all broken up about the innocent people that got killed in the deser,and Superman didn't give a damn,and was on some "lets have bathtub sex
",may have even said he didn't care,but I could be wrong about that part
?..That's my thing,i wouldn't even mind the emo superman if really got the feeling he was torn up and conflicted over the burden he got on em....I think you are partially right about him not being given much to work with,and I had that complaint with MOS when I had the same issues about Henry Caville....so some of it is definitely the dialogue he is given,but I gotta question are they limiting his dialogue because he doesn't have the chops to pull it off
Even without the dialogue,there were oppurtunities for him to show us something,things a better actor I think would've just done naturally....even though a good director should probably step in and coach him through it when they see he looks empty,or they see his acting feels flat...its almost like they don't see it
I don't think the director is blind,so this must really just be the depiction they want Caville to do
...Maybe its apart of his growth,and maybe a true sequel would've given us a better chance to see it...maybe he's supposed to be a uncaring,uninterested Superman who doesn't really want the job,who grows into Superman who does...Its taking too damn long for me though
His lack of emotion at the Capitol building exploding
.
edit-fukk what I just said,Superman shouldn't have to "grow" into somebody who gives a damn,thats kindve either a you do or you don't personality trait
