Getting good fans reviews. Bad critic reviews. I'll check it out. But..no contest, Superman. If you want a fight, make Superman v Hulk!!

Looks like a horrific crapfest. You couldn't pay me to see it. And I used to have a collection of over 3,000 comics.

Trying not to overthink it, but I totally love the concept. In the world we live in today people would demand Superman leave the planet after what happened in this associated Superman movie. There'd be distrust of him due to his power and abilities and seen as a threat.

Kind of ironic that Marvel's Civil War is coming out at about the same time.

Yeah, no. The critics panned this lemon for a reason. I'll wait for this to come out on video.

I won't be wasting any dough on it. So f'ing tired of all these comic-book flicks. Hollywood has gotten lazy, because they know they can put s**t on a plate and the public will happily lap it up.

I'm going to see it but I see people saying mixed reviews so I'm nervous. I hope I like it.

Reminds me of the old TV show Taxi when Loui dumps a bowl of water of Ted Danson's head because Elaine didn't want to stoop that low.

"She may be better than that, but I aint"

I'm with you, bring on Batman. I think people got their panties in a bunch the minute the learned Afflek got the part and decided to avoid the Christmas rush and start hating it right away.

I bet I'm going to love it for sure now :)

I hope you do! For a 2.5 hour movie, it felt rushed from scene to scene. The action was cool, I liked most of the casting choices (except Eisenberg as Luthor) and it had some good elements at time. As a whole though, I was very disappointed.

When I saw Eisenberg in the trailer I thought it was a brilliant choice, hearing from those who have seen it, that it wasn't. I loved Zombieland so much, maybe I am biased on that choice, but it seemed like a win in the trailer. 2.5 hours? BARF! Why do they do that?

I loved Zombieland too so I really wanted to like him in it. He starts out fine but as the movie goes along he just becomes annoying. He also does all these weird twitchy things and it seemed so out of place. Maybe it's better on re-watch, hope so.

Saw it last night...agree it felt rushed, but I knew it was going to set up the eventual DC Universe so it is what it is in that regard...I'll probably have to see it again to reserve final judgement.

That's funny, I think I'm way better than watching the same story line over and over and over.

If the critics don't like it....it's probably pretty good. I don't really go to theatres much anymore, but looking forward to it when it comes out on dvd/amazon.

It's a superhero movie.....just enjoy it for what it is.

My favorite superhero is Scooby Doo.
Iron Man comes in at a close second.
Then comes Batman.
Followed by Flash.
