Just got back a bit ago from a screener. I'd give it a 4/5. A bit slow in the middle, but capped by lots of action. Definitely felt more like a Michael Bay movie than Zack Snyder though.

Henry Cavill was playing World of Warcraft when he was called that he got the Supes role.

Cavill's one of the broskis!

I'd like to know if the word "Superman" is used in the movie. Please spoiler tag the answer or PM me. Thanks!

Awesome clip shown on Leno. Better action in that one clip than in all of Superman Returns

I can't wait for this.

The silo flame looked a bit unrealistic though.

We don't need to keep giving praise to Donner's films. They're intensely flawed. It was revolutionary once, but Le Voyage dans la Lune was revolutionary once too, but we don't see scifi filmmakers slavishly lifting from it today. The only thing which deserves any direct reverence in a new Superman film is the source material, and it sounds like this film has liberally lifted directly from Birthright and a few other books. That's what we need to see. If they're not delivering something original, it should be something from the comics. We don't need to see them lifting things from the Donner film anymore. Singer tried that already and it failed to deliver everything Superman is capable of delivering.

I'm not interested in the growth of "Superman's" character. I'm interested in the growth of Clark's character. Without Clark's supporting cast, there is no Clark Kent. Superman without Clark Kent would be boring and stupid and COMPLETELY unrelatable. You can get some character connection if you play it off as him being Kal-El and living life as Kal-El, an alien on Earth who is working to preserve his alien culture as the last of his kind, but when you say he is "Superman", is always "Superman", and only does "Superman" things, then that cuts off the [philosophical] humanity of the character. Ironically, it brings it a bit closer to the nihilistic core that the "Overman" concept originally sprung from. And that means that no one would care about the character.

Any links? All we have seen is positive reviews with a very less number of negative ratings.

And the last trailer was stunning. Is Jor-El some kind of hologram? in the last part of the trailer i think i saw someone getting vanished in the spaceship.

So lots of lingering shots of Amy Adams' legs and ass, and Diane Lane was recast at the last minute with Bar Refaeli?

You do not understand this character or his mythology. Please stop acting like some sort of authority.
