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.

Well, I am sure that they are gonna show more of the traditional Superman mythos in the sequel 'cause this movie was supposed to be an origin story, so of course it's not gonna have all of the traditional stuff yet.

And if you're not a Superman fan and the version of him that you like is from way back 50 to 60 years ago, then it figures that you wouldn't like this movie. This is supposed a new, fresh take on Superman based in a real world, modern-day setting. In order to like this movie, it seems that one has to get his/her head out of the past and into this setting. Plus, this movie is actually truer to the Superman of the Post-Crisis comics than all the other movies before, from what I hear.
