Ayelet Zurer

Passing eccentricities of character, but serious trouble staging honest and coherent emotional scenes....a surplus of preciousness and a deficit of truth-ringing reality.

Try not to giggle when...Langdon is being called in for '[his] expertise, [his] erudition.' The guy from Bachelor Party? Just kidding, Tom, we love you—just not in this kind of pricy but conspicuously soulless crap.

Currish...the film's niche audience is indiscriminate aging dog lovers; people lovers should look elsewhere.    

On balance, this new cinematic take on a 75-year-old icon constitutes a worthy Superman movie and a modest improvement for a franchise that had creatively stalled.
