Argh! My eyes!
Let me elaborate though. Superman's okay, but I don't like Clark Kent. That's why I couldn't tolerate anything past the first few seasons of Smallville.
I'll just leave this here

Going to Brooklyn @ 8 for it.
I have yet to see a Superman movie that doesn't suck, so I'm very hopeful. (The first Chris Reeve movie was good. It sucked in that really good way. Sort of like Rambo or Robocop)
It was decent, I would have liked it to be a bit more introspective though. The characters got a bit lost in the whole "save the world" plot and didn't really get a whole lot of time to grow. Things were a bit too busy all the time, not much time to sit and reflect on things. Better pacing could really have put things into focus a bit more.
I would say Superman Returns is the superior movie in many regards, especially in terms of storytelling, BUT I still enjoyed Man of Steel and I feel they have set up a pretty interesting Superman Universe which hopefully they can exploit in future movies. AFAIK they have already green lit a sequel.
Pretty much this.
Although it was good, I don't see myself buying the dvd or watching it again. It is a bit more intense than other superman movies, series, etc. Superman was in desperate need of a reboot (that 1981 movie was way too old), but I think I would have preferred if Byan Singer handled it.
Today's the day!! Gonna watch it tonight with some friends.
Who else is going to go?
