Saw Man of Steel today. It wasn't very good. I think Henry Cavill was pretty great as Superman, but the whole start of the movie was really awkwardly paced and kinda dumb and deus ex machina-y.
Also, that wasn't Timothy Olyphant as Zod?!
Potential spoilers (highlight to read): The whole opening sequence on Krypton felt way too generic-action-blockbuster-like, Timothy Olyphant...er, Michael Shannon was not very unique or interesting as General Zod, the whole movie's pacing was weird, there was way too much focus on action, Superman hardly did any fucking life-saving, completely content to demolish an entire city and buildings to crush his enemies, showing very little compassion. Seriously, we have a couple brief scenes from before he's Superman of him being heroic, but once he dons the suit and cape I'm sure the casualties he helped incur way outweigh those. I would've loved to see him saving people as he fought, going out of his way to protect them and not destroy half of fucking Metropolis.
That said, the super-fight-scenes were pretty sweet, and there was a serious moment of "...woah" when Superman did what he didn't want to do and finished Zod. Just the way he did it, how out of desperation it was. It was a seriously well-done moment. Until they made nothing of it and cut to the end.
The end was probably the best part. With Kal showing the government that he won't let them track him, but showing that he's placing his trust in humanity to let him work on his own terms. It was a pretty heartwarming moment. Followed by an incredibly predictable joke.
So yeah. Basically the only real good part is the latter part of it.
