I've been avoiding this thread for months because I wanted to avoid spoilers... but I finally saw it this afternoon. Pretty solid. I always feel like I need to watch movies like this a second time to take it all in. Definitely chock full of action. Epic action movie... but I never really felt overwhelmed or exhausted by it. I think I might have said this a few years back after Returns... but they are just never going to make everyone happy with a Superman movie. Too many varying opinions of what the character should and shouldn't be and do.

They definitely went head-on toward addressing issues people have with the Superman "storyline" in general.

Spoiler!

Specifically, Lois being a great journalist but not being able to figure Superman out. Not in this film... she's the one who puts the pieces together. That's why I enjoyed the ending. As the film went on I was beginning to wonder if Clark would ever work at the Planet in this universe. They handled that very well. I was almost more excited for the next film than excited for this one. -- I love how they put forth real-world problems Clark would encounter growing up. You almost wanted to see more of that, but eventually you have to get him in the suit and get the action going. --- Seems like the biggest complaint I keep reading online is about all the disaster and destruction over the last hour. And it may have been a bit much but I don't understand the argument that if Superman flies away to a cornfield or away from Smallville and Metropolis these villains will blindly follow and continue the fight there.
