I was so excited for this movie, and I really did not like it at all.
They warped his origin story, the pacing was really bad and honestly the script just seemed like a mess. I am a huge Lois Lane fan, and she had absolutely no personality or character. All of her original sass and presence was gone, which I thought was partly due to bad casting (I love Amy Adams but omg not for this) and partly due to bad writing.
Henry Cavill was a really great Superman, though, and I really liked General Zod. Diane Lane was also great, and even Russell Crowe who I normally hate. Some of the cinematography was good.
Overall I'm super bummed because I was waiting for ages for this, and I love Superman, but this was just no good. It wasn't fun, which is fine because not everything needs to be, but it also wasn't edgy and exciting and gritty like I think they wanted. I agree with DaddyDominant that dark and gritty doesn't really vibe with Superman (although I thought Superman Returns was better than this...so that might say a lot, lol).
Definitely I would see it at some point but might be worth waiting for DVD
