So today we received our first look at Henry Cavill as Superman. The new costume doesn’t look as bad as the costume from “Superman Returns”, but it still doesn’t have that true “Man of Steel” look in my opinion.
I think my biggest concern for this movie is some of the casting decisions that have been made. Amy Adams as Lois Lane kind of makes sense but I dont think that Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent was the best choice. Also, I’m still not sure about the casting of Laurence Fishburne as Perry White. Dont get me wrong I like him as an actor but as Perry White? I’m not sold yet.
The biggest casting flub has to be Russell Crowe as Jor-El. Russell Crowe is a great actor but as Superman’s father? I honestly think this is one of the worst casting calls ever made for a DC movie. Now I know what everyone is thinking, that Christopher Nolan is behind this movie so it must be good. Chris Nolan has done some great things with Batman but he is only a producer on this film, not a director. Zack Snyder directing means that we will have TONS of slow motion action shots which, in my opinion, is getting really old. I think at this point, this movie has too many flaws preventing my excitement but only time will tell.
