By Matthew Murray /

1. Some military woman says:

€œIt€™s just that I think he€™s kinda hot.€

And here is the icing on the cake. The line that made me want to sink into my chair and pretend I was watching another movie. Forget about trying to replicate the Whedon charm€when this line is uttered towards the final scene of the film, Goyer finally opts to be just plain stupid instead. This line sounds like something out of a comedy film. It€™s a really lame attempt to give this film the same jokey feel of The Avengers. Aside from the fact that any intelligent viewer won€™t find this funny, it€™s a complete departure from the tone the entire movie has had so far. For the last two and a half hours Goyer attempts to be serious and brooding. Now, out of nowhere, he goes for tongue-in-cheek? Even though the film was terrible anyway, this random joke was not welcome. If this line of dialogue alone doesn€™t put you off the Superman universe for a long, long time€I don€™t know what will. Let€™s face it, if this film had a much lower budget it would look like Superman€™s answer to Batman and Robin. It certainly reads like it anyway!
