Here's a take by a guy I know online. Keep in mind it's not so much a review (by his own admission) as it is him ranting about how one aspect of why he thought it was terrible. There's plenty of spoilers in it, so be warned.

The Second Coming of Krypton

Aimless:
(click to show/hide)I had high hopes and went into the cinema expecting a thoroughly satisfying movie. I'll concede that the action was pretty sweet, and that Clark and Lois were well-cast even though they had summat crappy chemistry. Zod was all right and his moments facing off against Superman were among the better scenes in the movie. I loved many of the scenes where Clark simply can't stop himself from acting and I loved the very short sequence where he finds Zod threatening his mum. The ending was all right and accounted for about 50% of the humor-content of the movie. I thought the thing where they CGI:d Reeve's face over Cavill's was sweet :o

However, I really felt as if the script--esp. the dialogue--was kinda shit. I rarely feel this way, which may be a testament to the high quality of other superhero movies but is more likely to reflect the skills of MoS's scriptwriter. I was ambivalent about the scenes on Krypton, where some things were awesome and other things were flat and distracting. I expected to love Crowe as Jor-El but found him irritating except as a weird-ass hologram poltergeist. I missed the actors who played the Kents in Lois & Clark, esp. when it came to Martha.

The worst scene in the entire movie was probably the scene where Faora-Ul--who I felt was the worst character played by the worst actor of the lot--explained that she has an "evolutionary advantage" because she lacks a sense of morality... and that if there's one thing history's taught us, it's that evolution... always... wins. The fuck?

All in all, this was the first movie I've seen in a while that I didn't really feel was worth the time or the price of admission. It had a lot of promise though, and I'll probably go see the sequel when that comes out, if only to figure out how the hell they managed to resurrect Metropolis. [/quote]

Method of Madness:
Was half of that crossed out intentionally?

Welu:

Couple issues is that the Avengers were fighting a lot more aliens and (click to show/hide)they consciously constrained the destruction a lot considering the amount of enemies. Yeah, it looks cool in Superman to have buildings getting knocked down left and right but it's a tad ridiculous.

Well, a live action Batman/Superman crossover film has been confirmed for 2015.

I kind of despised Man of Steel and I'm not convinced they'll be able to match Nolan's talent with Batman's tale, so I'm not getting my hopes up.
