Rewrite of the Superman origin story has Kal-El coming to Earth, meeting his father's consciousness, and doing battle with the Kryptonian traitor General Zod and his band of genetically-engineered warriors.  Director Zack Snyder and screenwriter David S. Goyer self-consciously jumble the timeline of Clark Kent's coming of age, but for them all Clark's "high points" are either action-oriented or moments when he manfully restrains himself from kicking a tormentor's butt -- which, sadly, qualifies him as the deepest character in the film.  Overlong and almost humorless, though with one bit of unintended hilarity:  after bemoaning the Kryptonian system of eliminating free choice with genetic engineering, Clark's dad proceeds to tell Clark everything he must do now that he's on Earth. Kids' stuff.
