Man of Steel - Tow Jockey Five Second Review

Holy Mother of God! Do you like the shakey cam? I said "Do YOU LIKE THE SHAKEY CAM?". I sure as hell hope so because your going to get it every damn second of this movie. Bring along some dramamine and an inflight barf bag. Did I mention there is a lot of shakey cam going on here? If I didn't, be advised that your longing for pseudo documentary footage, your dream of seeing every trick of coveying action that was used and over used in Battle Star Galactica, and your undying hatred of anything remotely resembling a fucking tripod will all be validated in this overlong master class in this hateful technique. Does the movie look cool? I dunno....you are never allowed to focus...that is until at 2 hours and ten minutes in Superman takes a break from causing untold amounts of horror through collateral damage as he fights Zod and company to make out with Lois Lane...for that we can have a steady shot for exactly five seconds. Look, there are some good bits. The basic story, after we get through the required hour of origin. The character of Zod is much better developed than he ever was in Superman II. His character is given understandable motivations outside of just being a meglomaniac and I liked the acting job done by MIchael Shannon. Amy Adams is charismatic as Lois and Antje Traue was also good as the menacing and ruthless Faora-Ul. The one fight scene in Smallville was well done (shakey cam in action but a bit less shakey). It's a shame that the star of the movie was the tremor ridden cinemtographer, Amir Mokri (may he suffer a severly painful papercut into which somebody spritzes lemon juice for all of eternity) rather than Superman who portrayed by Henry "Ain't I Pretty" Cavill is as dull and bland as dry toast. That may not be justice or the American way...but it's the truth.
