super hero origin stories have become so ridiculously formulaic so im glad Nolan and Snyder made the film the way they did. non linearity, breaking up the segments.

Yes, I was so relieved I didn't have to suffer through 30-40 min of cliche backstory
Really liked the approach they took
i agree. Saw it last night, loved it, thought it was really well done and very entertaining and I've never been a big fan of superman.
Havnt read any of the thread or any critics opinion are people really criticizing this movie a lot?

So, I just got out. I'll have more when I get home, but I'd just to say this:
IT'S SO FUCKING GOOD. IT IS SO. FUCKING. GOOD.
Cavill was great, Adams was great, everyone was great.
The Battle of Smallville (yes, I'm textbooking this shit) was so awesome. The Superman/Zod fight is the best comic book movie fight ever. Jesus, that was such a throwdown.
Goddamn, I gotta go back.

I just got home and it was quite enjoyable. Action scenes were my favorite part, and I feel Snyder really captured the impact of the superhuman fights. I loved that part.
Some of the other stuff was a little weird,
Overall, a movie combining these action scenes with Iron Man 3's dialogue would be absolute perfection.
Also, after seeing IM3, FF6, Now You See Me, and this movie....this was the first time the audience actually clapped at the end of the movie. A little odd.

like how few people were really in danger while a city was being destroyed.

Loved the movie. Watched it twice. IMAX was full and people clapped at the end.
Not just marvel in terms of spectacle there is nothing quite like it.
Yes.
Yeah, I got Paranoia, Pacific Rim, Despicable Me 2, Turbo and World War Z trailers.

But he should have trimmed his chest hair. It was coming out of the suit.

I SAW ITTT!
Great popcorn flick. Incredibly entertaining. Action was perfect, this is what Superman fighting should be. Score was powerful.
"If You Love These People" played during my favorite scene in the film.
The movie was great and I look forward to the sequel.

Time for the spoiler thread.

Catwoman's in the current Justice League of America comic! They can do it!
There can be more than one Kryptonian!
Faora for Justice League!
This would have definitely fit another version of Superman. But nothing about this guy makes it seem like doing this was ever out of the question. Scene was just weird to me.

Running into a tornado to save a dog isn't a selfless act, it's idiocy, made worst by the fact that the person in question was casting aside their duties as a family man.
I'm getting the itch to see the movie again. While I did find that there was a lot to like here, the movie is very flawed and I'm hoping a directors cut is released on blu ray.
I was driving today and thinking about where I would put this movie when compared against the Marvel films. Basically this movie is better than all of them except IM1 and Avengers. The rest of the Marvel output is mediocre. I am very much looking forward to a sequel with a more traditional narrative structure.

Man I LOVED it. Awesome movie, our generation's Superman for sure.

people dislike good and great movies. it happens.
As a dog owner I don't see what's so ridiculous. After awhile of having a dog, it basically becomes another family member. He thought he could saved the dog and make it back in time.

Based on Rotten Tomatoes, you're very normal.
Yeah, that part was puzzling. No reason why his super son shouldn't have grabbed the dog, if they wanted to save it that bad.

Saw this today and really enjoyed it. My biggest complaint about this movie was Pa Kent. He just didn't feel quite right. I am better there was more of him left on the cutting room floor that would have made him seem more normal. The second act was a little disjointed but it can together in the third act.
Michael Shannon was termendous. Someone needs to get him and Benedict Cumberbatch in the same movie and see which one can be more intense. Henry Cavill looked perfect as Superman and I loved the costume design.The action was truly spectacular. The scale was amazing. And the way they portrayed the speed of the Kryptonians was awesome. This is what god's battling should look like. Now let me see Superman fighting Darkseid on this scale.

Yeah if it weren't for
the dog moving and the car flipping and pinning him, he would have made it back.
