Yeah, on paper this looks like a steller team up, but I think the problem lies with Zack. 300 wasn't all that good; it was all about the visuals and the special effects - as was Man of Steel. The movie had some good ideas, but none was explored all that much. What bugged me was Supermans ignorance of human lives. He just didn't care. and the fact that Lois Lane figured out whom Superman was and ran around calling out "Clark! Clark!" all the time really got to me. No way Superman would destroy a city like he did in the Fight with Zod, nor would he let a city get demolished as it did by the cryptonians. THAT'S what made this a bad superman flick. Cool super hero movie and cool special effects, but it had nothing to do with superman.

Comics are natorious for re-telling and re-imagining of charactes and universes.  We have had versions of Superman where he lands in Soviet Russia. Plus its not like we havent seen superman fight in a city before levaing destruction all around.  Just watch some fight scenes from any of the Animated Series or new DC cartoon movies.   Obiously nothing to the scale of this movie but if thats your one negative I think its weak to not call it a superman movie.  If anything the only thing wrong with movie when compared to source material is that Clark looks way too cool.  I like my Clark Kent a bit more nerdy can clean cut but hey I am not going to deny its a Superman movie because of that.

On a movie level it had problems, like the weak love story and a few plot holes but I think its a solid start for a Movie I never thought I would actually be able to see on the big screen.  I dont mind this Superman but the chemistry he has with Batman must be brilliant.

But this isn't a comic, nor is it a cartoon. It's a full blown live action movie, and you can't do live action movies like you do cartoons. Just look at the Dark Knight Trilogy; those flicks weren't treated as cartoons, and benefited for it. And look at ALL the other super hero movies; they've moved away from the cartoonish (yellow spandex anyone?) and are better for it. The destruction in Man of Steel embraced the cartoonish.

And I'm not NOT calling this a Superman movie, I'm calling it a bad Superman movie. Had it been another kind of movie it would have been cool, but it just doesn't suit a realistic "darker" superman. He killed THOUSANDS of people, and let another TEN OF THOUSANDS die. Does that really sound like sups?

And I totally agree that the chemistry has to be absolutely perfect between sups and bats, and that's one of the things that has me worried. How much chemistry were there really between folks in MoS? Not all that much. I don't think the director can deliver that.
