Did I mention how much I fucking LOVED the first flight scene?? Goddamn. Goosebumps for real.
Amy Adams is no Erica Durance. Durance made lois, Lois.
I don't have any bias against anyone involved in the movie and was actually hoping to see a great movie, but I ended up extremely disappointed. I think Cavill is cool as Superman, but everything else around him, other than the kryptonians is pretty shit. The amount of time spent on the military, FBI or shitty Daily Planet characters really brought it down for me. The movie just seemed to focus on all the crappy things and push the cool ones to the side really quickly.
Oh well, hopefully they can get it right next time.
Costner and Lane were great as Jonathan and Martha Kent while Amy Adams did a fine job as Lois. I don't recall that much time being spent on the FBI at all.
Smallvile was shot in my town. Seeing main street fucking wrecked by sups and Faora was so damn awesome. Everyone in the theater was giddy lol
So this made $113 million OW without walmart numbers (including walmart numbers its $125 million) included thus becoming the biggest June opener ever beating Toy Story which made $110 million

I tried to be reasonable. I just want people to focus the discussion on the right things.
The movie is certainly divisive, and that's cool. We can talk about that without suggesting that "critics" should shoot themselves though, I think.
Actually, I do.

Just came out of the cinema and I've absolutely no idea what I just saw.explosions upon explosions and absolutely no idea what was going on. Truly shockingly mindnumbing tedium. Just everything thats wrong with Hollywood movies these days. 90% of the budget on effects and everything else just an afterthought.

It's the best scene in the film, by far.
Saw it yesterday - would give it a 6 or a 7 out of 10. Best thing about it was Antje Traue.
But heres the rub: the five-day Wed-Sun debut of Superman Returns, which was $83 million back in July, 2006, would be around $103 million today adjusted for inflation and about $118 million adjusted for a normal 3D/IMAX bump. As such, the much-anticipated, heavily-marketed, etc. etc. Man Of Steel sold just over 15 million tickets, or just a bit more than the 13 million tickets that Superman Returns sold in its official debut weekend. So what seems like a massive improvement on its face is partially merely seven years of inflation and the aforementioned 3D/IMAX advantage. Truth be told, its not a slam on Man Of Steel (because a $125 million debut is an unmitigated triumph for pretty much anything outside of a The Avengers 2 or Avatar 2) but just reinforces that Superman Returns, which earned $200 million domestic and $395 million worldwide, wasnt so much a bomb as a massively over-budgeted tent-pole which couldnt deliver record-breaking numbers to justify its $270 million budget.

Lastly, this movie sets a tone for this franchise that i'm worried about. Where do we go from here? More intergalactic adventuring? I worry that such a grand scope in story telling will take away from the down to earth moments. They have to find a way to make the supporting cast relevant and real.
Superman Returns budget was 270 millions?? Wtf??? How can you waste so much money on such an uninteresting movie?? Damn. No wonder it almost killed the franchise.

I think a lot of that money was related to costs spent in the previous attempts to make a new Superman movie (Superman Lives mostly).

I should clarify by "intergalactic adventuring": i mean anything out of this world related. You have an alien invasion in this one, i just dont see the producers going "ok now lets bring the fight on the ground sans aliens for the next movie". They tend to have this "bigger in scope is better" mentality. This movie sets the foundation in that, at a minimum, buildings have to be destroyed or used as weapons. So if you take that destruction and expand on it, you would need to justify it by either putting a bigger threat or by taking superman away from earth. I don't know; i just do not see them toning it down.

I don't agree, if anything they want to make Superman more human. Its why they spent so much time on the conflict of him wanting to be Human but wrestling with the fact he was not.
If they wanted him to adventure to the stars he would have left ala Superman Returns.
Just like how Batman Begins set the ground work for there being a Batman, MoS did the same for Superman. He exists and the public knows this, so now how does that change day to day life and do people start to challenge him (Lex Luthor) or does more from his past come to haunt him (Braniac).
I don't see them making him leave, I don't see them destroying an entire city again. They got the point across how powerful he is already. Now its time to develop the rest of him. We will probably get something closer to IM3 in terms of a sequel, more time spent on how he balances Clark and Kal-EL or how he goes on being Superman but ensuring Lois does not die in the process.
Lois was a negative, but I think that's just an inherent flaw in the character. Lois Lane is basically an annoying reporter and meant to be a cliché damsel in distress/romantic interest, and neither of those is particularly interesting no matter what way you want to spin it (actress, medium, whatever).
