I'm not a Superman fan, but I like the Silver Age-y Superman, that was brought back by Johns in Secret Origin.

This is as far away from it as possible. It almost felt like they were going for another Birthright. Superman's fine the way he always was. Don't tug on his cape.

I'm not a grumpy old sourpuss (well, I am a bit). I can accept different versions. I LIKE new versions. If they're done right. This just didn't work for me. The Kents made no impression on me, I didn't like the non-linear storytelling. While I'm okay with the thought of him travelling to the end of the Earth to do a gritty job there, it's been done with Wolverine in the X-Men movies. They just added Deadliest Catch and Ice Road Truckers in an attempt to show off his tough manly-man side.

I hope that in the sequel, we'll get to see the mild mannered reporter. Hopefully they're going for Lex, not Brainiac, because another alien robot-esque army might be too much of the same thing.
