I saw the movie and thought it was good, borderline very good. The critics seem to have rated this movie quite poorly, probably worse than I would suggest but do not get it confused, this movie does not hold a candle to the Christopher Nolan, Christian Bale Batman trilogy, as I believe those three movies are easily the best Superhero movies ever made. It is easy to recognize why that trilogy was so highly rated, one did not have to be a fan of any Superhero even Batman to recognize that they were very well made movies with great acting, dialogue, action etc.

 

I've always felt like Superman was overrated mainly because he's just too powerful, Batman is more realistic perhaps this is why I tend to gravitate towards him. With that being said I was very confused throughout the movie because a lot of it seemed to be long, but necessary backstory. Thankfully my brother in law sitting next to me filled me in that Superman is actually not human, and is from Crypton....I suppose that makes sense now. 

 

It could be that it adds to the realism, at the same time I recognize that for one to enjoy Superheroes open mindedness is crucial, but I tend prefer Supervillains over their Superhero counterparts. Maybe it's the cynic in me but I do feel like anyone blessed with any type of super powers would certainly use these powers for their own benefit, and not to better others. In regards to the movie, Lex Luthor was probably my favorite character. Again I am not the most familiar with Superman or any of his nemesis' but Jesse Eisenberg did an excellent job of playing the mad scientist who is itching to ruin the plot for the majority of viewers.
