So I’ve made no secret of my distaste for this movie, and it hasn’t even begun production. The reasons behind my opinions are based mostly on director Zack Snyder‘s casting choices.

Firstly with Henry Cavill being given the title role which he does not fit in my opinion, and now Amy Adams as Lois Lane. What is Snyder thinking?

Snyder is quoted as saying; “There was a big, giant search for Lois. For us it was a big thing and obviously a really important role. We did a lot of auditioning but we had this meeting with Amy Adams and after that I just felt she was perfect for it.”

“It goes back to what I’ve said about Superman and making him really understandable for today. What’s important to us is making him relevant and real and making him empathetic to today’s audience so that we understand the decisions he makes. That applies to Lois as well. She has to be in the same universe as him [in tone and substance].”

While this is all great in theory, if you don’t believe your actors in their given rolls, how can you believe in the film?

Amy Adams is a great actress, at least from what I’ve seen of her, but Lois Lane she is not. She simply does not have the fire that Lois needs to light under Superman’s arse.

She clearly does not convey a strong essence, and this is why she simply will wither into the background. Much the way Kate Bosworth did in the previous Superman film.

Does anyone else think that Diane Lane would make a better Lois than Amy would?

Go ahead, start with the hate mail… I’m getting used to it. LOL.
