Unusually, I actually agree with a lot of Bob's criticism, but I don't think the flaws are as serious as he makes out. It's not completely joyless, there were a few moments in the film when the audience laughed. But, yeah, much less so than most Marvel films. I do agree that it was hard to believe their was any attraction between Superman and Lois, despite both actors doing a great job, it was lacking in the script.
Overall, I really enjoyed it and I'm such a Superman fanboy I went in my Kingdom Come Superman t-shirt.

That all I need to hear (it's good) so onward to tomorrow (watching it with my uncle)! I guess I will find out tomorrow if I agreed with Bob statement. In saying so if it did turn out bad, I would of still watch it tomorrow as there is no way I am watching After Earth (I never intend to watch another M Night movie after The Lady in the Water)!
I actually found the movie to be pretty damn good, i've accepted that Nolan Verse movies have no connection to the comics outside of person place and maby thing.
And quiet frankly i like this superman, he was angsty or emo that Bob had us believed, he was a guy looking for his place in the universe.
And i LOVED how everything tied together and how everything was explained, it expanded not only superman but the world he lived in and actually had really inspiring moment, like when:

They decide not to start shooting at superman and the guy from Law and Order SVU says: "This man is not our enemy" Which if you've been paying attention is a huge relief for superman on a personal level. Really i think this movie trumps the dark knight and does a great job setting up the series.
Got a big feeling that this is for Moviebob the same thing as with the Dark Knight Rises. He doesn't like it but tries to find ways to not break it into the ground, despite he will non-stop in future videos. My guess? It's a gotta be great movie, Moviebob just doesn't feel that way.
the way he decried this movie it sounds pretty perfect.
(No i'm not 14 or i like warhammer 40K)
But i've never really like superman because he's the sort of character you're not meant to think to much about.
That's not to say he's never worked for me, I think he's works and the head of the justice league or when Clark kent is the main character e.g. new adventures of superman.
But whenever he's going solo....
I don't know, it just he's presented as all good all powerful but he never seem to be doing much good. When he's only a side you can image that he does that off screen but when Superman is centre stage i start to wonder why he's flirting with Louis what ad that same time he can probably hear at least twenty people who need his help.
Or is there like no crime anywhere in the world going on at that time?

I mean if he spends ten minutes playing catch with Jimi that's 13 forceable rapes he could have prevented (2010 source above)
From the review sounds like that's kind of can i save everyone? problem is the exact sort of thing that the film addresses
Will go to see

Okay, why do you think this? He said it was a good movie. A flawed movie, but a good one. Why can't there be problems in a movie and still be good. Just because the movie isn't a perfect one doesn't mean its bad. Heck, I thought the movie was great and I had major problems with it. (mainly with the chemistry between the two main leads) Does that mean its bad? No! It's great. It just has a lot of problems.Joriss said:
pfft, No one liked 90's superman. Not even in the 90's.
Also, enjoy Tim Tebow when they truck him out for being left handed. (I really think that's it)

I saw it last night @ midnight and I liked it. Nolan doesn't do "grim 'n' gritty", he does "grounded and believability" which means there is an in-story reason for everything, and the story is driven by characters' decisions and emotions. Mainly, young Clark's feelings of alienation when he discovers he's different and sets out to find the answers, and Lois Lane's journalistic instincts drive her to find out the truth of this mystery man. It wasn't Superman himself being dark, it was the atmosphere of the world around him when Zod & his minions (who were suitably scary and dangerous, as they should be) came a-knockin'. Speaking of Zod, his portrayal was awesome, where under that veneer of cold and calculating determination was white-hot psychotic fury! My only gripes are how
they go VERY far into the city-wide destruction of Metropolis. Hey, save something for the sequels, guys! And Perry White, despite Larry Fishburne's brilliantly cool performance, does NOT say "Great Caesar's Ghost!"
But, sharp eyed viewers will keep a look out for the WayneTech logo on the satellite that blows up and the LexCorp logos labeled here and there. Sequel alert!
