Watched it yesterday I might have to call it the best in the genre, simping was kept an all time low, the kiss and the dialogue that followed it though... I could do with out that.
Some notable scenes that stuck with me... Clark embracing his mum after coming back home
Realizing his Mother was in danger when she was getting thrown around like a rag doll, I felt that.
No disrespect to the girl who played Louis I don't think she fit the role physically.
I don't get the hate for the movie by the critics I don't know the general consensus of the people who saw it but it held my attention through out, those fight scenes
I tried watching both the Avengers which I can't get past that scene with Black widow tied to a chair and 10/15 minutes of Iron man, but this was nice through out.
Zod threatened the entire planet. But the minute he started fukking with Superman's moms..you know he had to kill him...lol...He gave Zod that quick 5 piece and broke his mask for flinging her around! LOL
I just came back from seeing it and I didn't like it at all, as both a movie and as a Superman story.
About the latter it just never felt like the true Superman. It was all so dark and grim and as Mark Waid (Top 5 Superman writer) said perfectly in his review, you never felt like Supes was victorious or succeeded in making you feel safe.
The guy showed no concern for human life during the fight with Zod, smashing through buildings and whatnot like it was nothing, which made the part where he suddenly had to kill Zod to save a single family fall completely flat. Millions of people just died in gravity-crushed and collapsing buildings but for three people killing Zod was worth it? Seriously, did anyone feel proud that he killed him? Did that feel triumphant? Because it just felt more depressing than it already was to me.
Then there was my fear of Pa's Kent portrayal. When the audience laughs uncomfortably when he tells Clark "maybe" about letting everyone in the school bus die, you know you fukked up. That shyt seemed a step too far in the trailers and it definitely is a step too far in the movie. It's the point where I could no longer justify Pa Kent's concerns about Clark's well-being because he just turned into a soulless dikk who apparently thinks that it's alright to let people die even if you could've easily saved them. It's a characterization so insulting I can never forgive it.
Then there's the problems with the movie itself, like the atrocious pacing for instance. Scenes jumped around without a clue, like one moment Clark is cauterizing Lois' wound, then in the next scene the Spaceship they're in is taking off and Lois is laying in the snow, like did he just dump her there and fly off? With the spaceship he doesn't even know how to control? Lois asks Martha about Clark and it immediately cuts to her standing at Jonathan's grave, like we really just skipped the scene where she learned to understand him? Or what about the flashbacks which at no point felt like they fluently fit into the story. The story kept skipping around to the point I seriously expected Clark to see a coffee mug and remember that one time in kindergarten when his teacher dropped a mug and he caught it with super speed.
Also, the dialogue was atrocious. Nearly 75% of the dialogue was exposition without a hint of subtlety. I seriously think the movie contains over fifteen variations of the line "You have to decide the kind of man you want to be when you grow up Clark". Pa Kent says it in every fukking scene that he's in, Jor-El says it like twice in the opening and another three times in ghost form, and even Zod asks Clark who he wants to be once or twice.
Then there was just awful lines like the military chick asking "What is that?" when the scientist mentioned terraforming, or as a matter of fact, every line of dialog by the scientist guy and the military was awful. "This man is not a threat", he exclaims in such dramatic fashion I can only imagine the screenplay probably said "At this point, adlib a line about Superman not being a threat".
And honestly, the acting wasn't all that either. Everyone had their moments here and there but just the same there were also a lot of scenes where the acting was dull and uninspired, like nobody was really into it. There's a scene towards the end when Zod explains his very being to Clark and Cavill just stands there looking at him like he isn't even registering what he's saying. For a guy that could win the Best Superman Cosplay award every year for the rest of his life, he has the charisma and screen presence of a wet sponge. Unbelievable.
Oh, but hey, at least the action was great, right? Because that's what matters in a Superman movie, that he punches people through buildings for half an hour straight instead of, you know, ever coming close to standing for what Superman is about.

All the people who keep harping on Superman in MoS "not standing for what Superman is supposed to represent" conveniently overlook the fact that this was basically Superman: Day One. He isn't the physical representation of truth, justice and the rest yet nor is he the perfect embodiment of all the things mankind should strive to be. He is a 33 year old farm boy who never has been in a fist fight in his life and who is in the formative stages of his superhero career. So as a rookie he shouldn't be the perfect, idealized Big Blue Boy Scout because he doesn't know how to be that yet.

I get that. But they didn't even make an attempt to show Clark as giving a fukk about other people's lives during the last thirty minutes of city-destroying mayhem. It would make perfect sense that he wouldn't be able to save everybody, and that the cost of the battle was high. It's another thing entirely that he never even bothers to try and protect or save people until the very end when it happens to be convenient for the plot.

He never introduced himself to the city or media or anything. He didn't even know what he wanted to be yet. He was forced to come out to the world (well, the government) because Zod gave a 24 hr notice to Earth. He doesn't even know that people are calling him Superman. It is implied that very shortly after discovering who is and supposed to be, Zod invaded the planet.
Did you want some screen time of him blowing out fires and catching construction workers falling from buildings after he defeated Zod? Expect all that to happen in the beginning of the sequel when he makes a name for himself as Superman.
How many times are nikkas gonna come in here and post the same shyt? It's been explained already that during the fight with Zod.. it was Zod throwing Superman through buildings while Superman was trying to fight him in safer areas.
