Clark Kent
General Zod
- Origin story
Villain's plot:
After a failed military coup, Zod is sentenced to the Phantom Zone, but swears his revenge on the house of El.
Rankings:
I really, really liked the first time he learned to fly.
Henry Cavill makes for a good Superman, though not the best Clark. Don’t understand the choice of Amy Adams as Lois.
The finally got the cape right!
At the sacrifice of a weird, shimmery, scaled pattern for the suit.
This is secretly great.
Notes
It’s not terrible, but it’s not great either. Zack Snyder makes weird choices along the way, and then defends them afterwards by saying his vision is different from anyone who disagrees.
