I will add that the funniest scene for me in The Dark Knight was when Mr. Reese came to Mr. Fox with his knowledge that Bruce wayne may be Batman and Lucius’s answer to him. I absolutely loved that bit. So it’s not like I’m expecting Superman to trip over his cape or anything.

Think of the 129,000 approximate deaths and that many of those people would have had the last thing they be either be Zod’s or Superman’s ass coming at them at 300mph.
I think the makers of this movie thought that everyone liked that fight bewteen Hulk and Loki in The Avengers so hell, let’s give them what they want…BUT MORE!

That was a shit load of property damage. Metropolis is going to be set back about 50 years in development unless Supes helps with the reconstruction.
Should have got a fucking job as a construction worker instead of a journalist.
Yeah, that’s what I was thinkng at the very end when Clark shows up at the Daily Planet for hsi first day of work…at the bottom of the screen it should have said something like “Fifteen Years Later” or that maybe everyone just moved to a whole new city and started over.

Maybe Dick Cheney got the construction contract and was behind the whole invasion…

I liked the fighting scene. It was fun. It reminded me of Neo vs Agent Smith’s fight in the third Matrix film. I expected better combos but oh well, I was still entertained.
I giggled a lot during that fight. I giggled because I was thinking about you hating it so much.
And no, I’m sure it was less than 20 mins.

I have not read all of your thoughts so I may be repeated but anyways here are some of my thoughts.
It’s important to realize that superman is cursed in the sense that the very nature of the superhero itself makes it almost impossible being as good as people expect it too. First off, EVERYONE knows it. The three most common superheros are Batman, Superman and Spiderman. That sets high expectations right away. The thing that makes superman exponentially harder is that unlike the other two, a simple punch or a knife doesn’t hurt him. The villain and the plot have to be crafted in a certain way each time the franchise is made, which makes the plot all the more limited and therefore predictable.
With that being said, I believe they definintely pulled it off with this one. The main complaint that I guess people will have (have not read any post) is that the character development is rather shallow. To this I can’t argue, but I think that’s a good thing. Most people understand on a semi deep level who these characters are all about; they don’t need the very basics of their character explained to them. Maybe people like Perry White and others like him were a bit underdeveloped, but it didn’t severely impact the plot in my eyes.
As far as the acting goes, I really think that everyone did a good job, but Clark’s two fathers were stand out. The actual structure of the plot was VERY well done IMO, in that we see chracter development through a series of flashbacks. And the action was legit.
My favorite thing that the movie did well was try to reset the rules of being a Kryptonian. Before this movie, it was simply “come to this planet, absorb the sun, become god, stay away from green rocks”, but this one did a decent job of explaining how the senses become heightened and that adjusting to the atmosphere takes time and pressure. It also plausibly explains why Superman is stronger than Zod; he honed in his skills through years of being on earth with the help of his loving parents. Zod did not.
Overall the only real short coming was the dialogue, namely that of Zod, the other villians, and Clark’s childhood (“fight me, c’mon fight me”).
Honestly I think that they should have made two movies out of this; the first movie being strictly Kryptonian life; the first scene would be the climax of the first move with the final scene being sending clark to earth, and the second movie being about Clark’s late chilhood and the events of man of steal.

this movie was straight ass, no character development, random scenes, shit cinematography. It jumped around so much, they should have explained Zodd’s motives better, and they completely changed who superman is. He is not a son god sent to earth, he is a human who realizes he is more.

Really Zod’s motives weren’t explained? It was pretty clear cut.
I loved the movie, only thing that slightly annoyed me was the whole no one leaving Krypton thing. The lack of resource thing could make sense… if they hadn’t sent the convicted criminals up in a huge spaceship… I was willing to let it slide though.
Also, I thought Amy Adams was smoking. She may not be a generic beauty, she’s more interesting and unique looking, which in my book makes her more attractive, I’d totally save the planet for her.
Also, I saw an interview with Henry Cavill where he talked about training. He said he did a lot of squats and a deadlifts and had to eat 5000 cals a day. I’m guessing most of the random crap you see him doing in that article was more just the conditioning stuff he did to get lean in the (relatively) short time before actual filming commenced.

He actually is a “sun God” sent to Earth. He isn’t human.
The entire race was bred to do specific jobs. He was bred to be a warrior and to protect Krypton…so that was his purpose in life.
Supes killed him because Zod was about to laser fry a family. I actually thought that much was done well…because in one swoop they erase the “I never kill” issue and show what he cares about more than anything.
