3. Less Cheese, Please
There are bits and pieces of dialogue that you never want to hear in a movie. Expository dialogue and cheesy lines are among them, but sometimes these lines can be forgiven if they are funny or ironic. Lines such as "I can't love, I don't know how to. I never learned how to as I was growing up in the ghettos of Beverly Hills" or "Pain? I don't feel the punches. I only feel your absence. It's hurts worse than a one-two combo to the gonads." In Man of Steel cheesy and expository dialogue was delivered, but they weren't funny. It was painful. Lines such as "I'm Pulitzer Prize winning writer, Perry!" Thank you, Lois Lane. We now know you are a very talented writer indeed and that you like to toot that horn whenever possible. "You're a monster, Zod and I'm going to stop you." Hmm. As if you had any other choice. "You can save them, Kal... You can save all of them." Except for the 100,000 dead buried underneath glass and steel beams from the buildings you collapsed on them. Please, please, please David Goyer, let me get what I want and no more cheesy lines or expository dialogue. We can't take it. Silence really is golden during these times. I wish that these were the only lines I had a problem with in the film, but a certain villain fell flat because of what came out of his mouth, leading me to my next point...
