What were the plot-holes in Supes? I might have been too distracted by Henry Cavill to notice.
But I didn't really like Russell Crowe as Jor-El or how they imagined their characters - both her and Lara. And I didn't like the way they made Krypton look - actually, I didn't like very much about the whole Krypton scene(s).
But I did think Cavill did a fine job a Superman and I like the female villain. She was decent.
If ah go into too much detail it would spoil it fuh others... but think to how he and Lois became close, she shouldn'a even find out what she find out. Then he going from having no clue how to fly... to not only flying but levitating (some next level shit) in the same frame. I too didn't care for the Krypton scenes. Jor-El was a scientist (Moorish? leh we see if yuh get dat one ) ... Zod (as he was all too happy to remind Kal-El) train all he life as a soldier to fight. But get he ass cut easy by Jor-El and had to resort to some coward move to kill him. Also Kal-El is de one with de super powers but he let Kevin Costner run back to de truck to get de dog in de middle ah de tornado? Makes no sense.
Some of these I guess is more logical inconsistencies that artificially contrive to move the plot along, rather than true "holes", but these were just the ones I remember off the top of mih head. Overall I thought Cavill was good as an actor and from an action stand point it was good... ah little too much Hancock fuh me in how they was destroying the scenery, but not a big complaint. My biggest complaint was in the writing... the story sucked. Why he wearing ah suit and cape by the way? And de symbol on he chest stand fuh "hope"... what about de other symbols on Jor-El and Zod and dem chest? Wey dem mean?
I have to agree with you on the plot holes in SM. Saw the movie a thought the same thing basically.
Besides the pretty good acting, what was pretty cool though was the small brief visual references to Wayne Enterprises, and Luthor Corp...this was mostly noted during the fight scenes. So basically they tied-in the whole Superman and Batman 'relationship' in the DC universe, potentially setting up a Justice League movie down the road.
Another cool thing was that they paid some homage a bit to the old 'Smallville' TV show, by re-introducing the 'Pete Ross' character, who was Clark's best friend in the first 3 seasons on Smallville. Although they didn't depict Chloe Sullivan (from Smallvile), they actually referenced her family briefly in the earlier part of the movie also.
All in all, despite the obvious holes in the plot, it was a pretty decent re-imagining of the SM franchise, and a much MUCH better offering than the disastarous 'Superman Returns' movie from 2006.
IMO, 6 out of 10.
