Does anyone else feel that CGI has just ruined movies at this point?

The original Superman took the first hour building characters. You felt invested, you rooted for them, it was exciting when the build up paid off and you genuinely believed a man can fly.

This movie, zero character building. I think the closest the script ever got to being interesting was when Louis was interviewing Clark about overstepping into other countries affairs. This was in the trailer and that's as deep as the movie gets.

Corenswet and Hoult did a good job with such a shallow script.

If you like Marvel then you'll enjoy this but if you're longing for something heartfelt that's not just a script by numbers then you'll have to keep waiting.

I know the reviews aren't great but I like Pacino and Dan Stevens, plus I'm usually overly forgiving with these type of movies, so I would have got some enjoyment from it.

I said would have because I couldn't get very far into it.

The reason was the camera which was so distracting. It was shaking with random zooms and unnecessary camera angles. I don't think I've experienced anything like this before, and hopefully nobody will attempt it ever again.

Baffling choice for such a movie. I guess if the director didn't want anyone to focus on his movie for a split second, then mission accomplished.

S1 was ok, S2 and S3 where superb.

S4 just didn't do it for me.

With it only being 6 episodes long I was worried Netflix might have cut the budget when I started watching and the drop off in quality was clear from the start.

I swear Paige has a different writer than the rest of the cast, with the exception of S2 the character has amounted to nothing more than a bitter moaning side character. Klaus was also reduced to a shell of his former self in S4 which was an another disappointment.

Anyway my rating still stands because I really enjoyed S2 and S3 but the show deserved a better send off than what it got.
