I spent 5 hours this week watching Man of Steel and taking 5,000 words of notes. It was like being trapped on an alien planet where the atmosphere consists 80% of characters telling Clark what incredible, grandiose things he symbolizes, 20% of daringly bad fight scenes, 15% of grimly constipated expressions, and 15% of acting this bad.

(Much) more to follow for the masochistically inclined.
