I just saw it today and it was really good. Lois got something to do than just be the damsel in distress, as did Perry White and a lot of the supporting cast, there were small but important nods to a bigger DC universe, the back-story on Krypton was very interesting, there were other interesting reasons for sending Kal-El to Earth other than just making sure that he survives Krypton's destruction, Zod was really a formidable and interesting villain, the action scenes were really cool and although they were long, the dialogue that is spoken in them really makes up for that. A lot of critics were complaining about the mood being too dark, but I think that that's just them being nostalgic for the previous Superman movies, in which the mood was lighter. The intent was obviously to do a realistic, modern-day take on Superman, and to me and a lot of other fans, there's nothing wrong with that. It actually makes it much more relatable and more interesting.

It would be really cool if there was a sequel and if that happens, I have a feeling that Lex Luthor would show up, considering that there were some nods to LexCorp in the movie. There were also some nods to Wayne Enterprises, meaning that this movie could open the doors to a DC Cinematic Universe similar to the one that Marvel has. And if they could do a "Justice League" movie that is at least as good as the "Avengers" movie, that would be really cool.
