Poorly paced, poorly directed mess of a film. Snyder was a bad choice for this. The CGI battle scenes were gratuitous and unnecessarily long,Lois and Clark romance felt forced and rushed and Snyders use of the shaky-cam was distracting and silly. If you want to watch superman fly around and punch people into buildings without any care or conseuqense to anyone you are in for a treat. Otherwise wait till DVD. Oh, please see it in the 2D, 3D is not worth the extra cost for this

This movie wasn't neccessarily perfect, but that didn't stop it from being one of my favourite movies of all time.The action was full-on epic, it had lot's of heartful scenes,stunning visuals, and a great villain. Don't listen to the people who try tell you " oh this movie has high ratings because people are stupid enough to not know what a good movie is", trust me you will love this movie.But the reason I give it a 9/10 is because there's Wonder Woman and you know how good that movie was.

I've never been a big Superman fan. Growing up I gravitated more to Batman and Spider-Man, but this film was entertaining and the best recent DC film, just behind Wonder Woman. It is too bad, because this DC Universe has so much potential. Henry Cavill was cast perfectly for this role and I really can't see any other actor in this day and age playing the titular role. Forget what follows it and just watch this as a stand-alone film and you'll appreciate it much more.

There are divided opinions on this film and I personally feel divided also. The film is a reboot, and I didn't really grow up with Superman I grew up with Batman and Spider-Man, so I'm not really the biggest Man of Steel aficionado. I do know this film feels very different in tone from the classic Superman film of the 1970s, which isn't that big of a deal, but this is Superman not The Dark Knight or The Punisher. Superman should be kinda fun and Boy Scout like, the film does do good with its serious tone, I love the second act where we see a lot of how Clark deals with his life constantly on the run and when he finally sees his Fortress of Sollitude it's very intriguing. The beginning and end of the film however feel very over-stuffed with action and visual effects, they're good effects just overwhelming. Superman punching Zod takes out the whole city and The destruction of Krypton is very drawn out. I'm not the biggest Zack Snyder fan so it was already wearing itself thin. Cavill gives a great performance as Clark Kent/Superman Bit he feels like he's being held back, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, and Michael Shannon also give good performances that are either given to little emphasis (Costner) or too much. (Shannon and Adams) I'm not a big Russel Crowe fan so I couldn't really get into him as Superman's father. All in all the action is good but overstuffed, the characters are well crafted but are depressing in tone, the acting is great but they focus on the wrong characters to often. So yeah this film really is a 50/50 for me.
