I saw it, didn't love it but I didn't hate it either. It was a little too long-winded in the second half, what with the neverending battle. Seriously, I stopped paying attention really, my mind was somewhere else entirely in the theater! Maybe it was because I was a little tired and dreading an hour of driving home at 1am, haha. Others have agreed with me though, the battle scenes took WAY too long. It also didn't really help that Superman seemed pretty stoic through it all, practically the entirety of Manhattan was in ruins (with presumably thousands of fatalities) right under him and he never tried rescuing anyone, just focused on punching down more and more spaceships.
I liked the first half though! It was a great take on Superman's beginning and his finding out about his origin. Very "poetic" somehow. It was a very serious movie though, and I wouldn't have minded a little more light-heartedness within all this drama, but that would have changed the entire tone of it. The relationship with Lois Lane moved way too fast in my honest opinion, they meet like twice and she's pulled into the action for no tangible reason (at least didn't seem to make much sense to me) and you just kinda get the vibe that they end up together because you knew it would happen from the start and without much actual development within the movie. That annoyed me a little bit.
I thought it was a nice movie overall, though! I don't know what went wrong there, I'm usually embarassingly easy to impress when it comes to anything, but there was something about this one that seemed a little off to me. Of course I have very limited knowledge of Superman and I haven't even seen the earlier movies, everything I've gathered about him is from piecing together information I've been fed from here and there but I agree with P-girl, he's the kind of a superhero I would have preferred to see in a more light-hearted movie.
Also Henry Cavill is so handsome that I had no complaints about getting to look at him the entire time.

Perhaps an overdue announcement, but I saw it! It was alright. Definitely not my favourite movie, but it was okay for what it was. I also just don't like Superman that much. I have read some of the comics, but there are just things about Superman that I'm not especially fond of.
Also, Amy Adams wasn't the best casting choice for Lois. That opinion could be based a lot in the fact that I forever see her as Giselle from Enchanted. I wish they had gone more into their relationship, rather than them meeting and then suddenly, no more than two interactions later, there's this huge battle going on, and suddenly Clark and Lois have this "connection". Such is life, though, in a movie with a tight time frame.
