pancakes are delicious, what? you don't like pancakes?
Well at least you're not full of yourself.
It makes no sense! In the movie we have an alternate Earth with places like Smallville and Metropolis, but freaking iHop still exists!
Why shouldn't it?

so kansas can exist but ihop can't? did you want them to just make up a bunch of fake brands of cars as well?
I wish Kansas didn't exist. Why would he wear a Royal's shirt, no one likes that team.
saw it this morning... had some time to soak it in. best superman film ever for me.
Grabbed some of the action figures too last week
These 4:
Plus Zod in Kryptonian armor (helmet is removable):
Those are great, I still can't go and buy some :/

And lots of punches that hit hard.
Spent my formative years in the KC area... I'm not a baseball fan, but it was great they put the Royals nod in there. Of course Clark would be a fan. Although what must it feel like to watch professional sports games and know you are way, way better than any player on the team could ever hope to be.

Such a piece of shit movie. The story sucked and there was no character development. WAY too much action. Also don't get me started on the end
what a piece of shit.
ZOD GETTING KILLED BY SUPERMAN
Superman doesn't kill no matter what! This movie is such bullshit! Talk about ruining a character!

YEAH! TELL US HOW YOU REALLY FEEL!
Everything I've wanted out of a superman movie. To me, it's the best superhero movie of all time. Fuck the haters.
+best special effects
+heartfelt moments
+great story
+holy fuck amazing action choreography
+amazing cinematography
+superb acting/cast overall
Just a very satisfying film overall, from start to finish it doesn't let up. I don't know where the hate comes from, but for me personally, this was the #1 superhero film I've seen, and the best in a long time. The only other film that excited me this much was the original spiderman. Wow. Great entertainment, I'd see it five more times.
I agree with the minimal character development complaint, but that's simply a symptom of not enough time.

I feel like Man of Steel 2 will have a lot more character development, with the origin finished and all the characters/pieces now firmly in place

I expected better from you....
My hat is off to you, sir.
lol, what! This movie is 2 hours, 20 minutes long. Thin character development is a script issue, not a time issue.

When was this? I never remember that happening. I found it but that scene was retconned. So it doesn't count.
The two hours and 20 minutes was spent perfectly though. Yeah, there was a lot of action, but holy shit that action blew my mind. It was amazing, and I wouldn't trade any minute of it for more dialogue. This first film was about getting the pieces in place and just visually blowing people away in between the heartfelt moments. The plot moves very quickly. I expect MoS 2 to be a lot more dialogue/character development focused.
Saw it. Loved it. Actually, with all the complaining I was expecting more action.
I was waiting to see it for myself, but it was great to see Bruce Wayne shares the universe because
Action movie 11/10
General movie 8/10
Tear jerker movie 7/10 - had more feels moments for me than any comic movie except for Spiderman 2.
IMO, best sci-fi action movie ever. Haven't been this anxious to go and pay to see the same action sequences again since the first Matrix.

This. pretty similar to how I felt. I enjoyed Iron Man. I enjoyed Batman Begins. I enjoyed Thor. None of these films took me on an emotional rollercoaster like Spiderman 1 and 2. Man of Steel did. And on top of that, it probably had the best action and special effects of any film I've ever seen.
looks like Antje, Cavill, Crowe and Costner were the standouts.
On Faora, i think a really cool and interesting twist Snyder couldn't gone for is keep Louis and Superman's relationship on a professional level - Louis reporting and interveiwing superman, with any romance delayed until a sequel. What they should've done is put some sexual tension between Faora and Superman. I would've liked to see them fight and almost kill each but towards the end, joining in the sun and then perhaps Zod killing Faora for it. This would've been way cooler cause Faora is freaking hot!
Not with Snyder directing again.
It should, though, considering that's how most superhero trilogies go.
He was also watching Jayhawk gridiron! =-P
A good day to be from Kansas!
Minor spoiler
people in the theater really loved the "I'm from Kansas you can't get more American" I live in Wichita.

But it's not in his skill set. It doesn't matter if it's what other sequels do (which isn't true either) if the director doesn't know how to do it.
Dammit it's what I want. Spider-Man 2 did it, and that's my standard for superhero films.

I'll say this: if you like seeing Superman and shit blowing up, this one's got it. Shit blows up real good. It's a spectacle, I'll give it that.
But it's all style, no substance. A cold, thoroughly mediocre blockbuster with a half-ass love story, one dimensional villains, flat characterization, generic destruction of non-descript buildings, and a metallic dour tone that sucked any amount of fun the movie attempts to do. It's not an enjoyable film to sit through, which makes it an failure as a Superman film and a summer blockbuster.
