I saw MoS last night. I liked it, and my dad absolutely loved it. I did think the flashback sequences were a nice touch and were a good way to break up the definitely extensive action sequences. Though the way Kevin Costner died... My dad and I laughed. It's sounds horrible, but I'm from the Midwest. Tornado warnings/watches are part of life here. And we love our animals but not enough to run back into an F5 tornado for them. Kind of lessened the emotional impact of that moment for me.
Anyways... I could see the way the film lacked a bit of heart as others have said. They needed some more character development and maybe at least one or two scenes of Lois/Clark just talking to one another to better establish that relationship. I think it was very apparent Warner's was scared to put too little action in, as that was one of the main criticisms of the last one. The result was that they put a bit too much in.
I am glad they went with a different villian than Lex, and I didnt even mind the ending since this movie was more about Superman learning to be Superman than being the Boy Scout he is when he is well established. And Henry Cavill is one seriously fine looking man
. I look forward to what they do in sequels, and this is from a gal who has never been a huge fan of Superman.
