A fairly moderated review. Congratulation^^ This is rare.
Funny thing is, I have a friend who actually LIKED the collateral damages in Metropolis, because he thought that was a realistic way to treat how devastating a battle between beings with super-strenght could be.
I thought it was just okay too. It's frustrating because i keep feeling that this SHOULD be amazing, but the whole origins sequence was incredibly boring and the rest was a DBZ fight. Still enjoyed for what it was worth.
I may need to rewatch, hopefully i'll like it more
Thank you for bringing an objective viewpoint and making sense in the balkanized world of fandom fighting.
This review completely hits the nail on the head Nice Job.
I agree 100%. This is the most okay film I've ever seen.

It's just okay
Man Of Steel is not as awful as it's detractors claim, but it's also not as good as it could have been. But I still found it to be...watchable enough. First off, I liked the set design, effects, action scenes, and socre (when it wasn't cranked full blast at the worst moments). I also liked the cast, with Henry Cavil making a solid Superman even if the writting doesn't make the character all that complex.
It's the writing that kind of hurts it. For one, the characters end up being kind of flat, and any attempt at making the story complex either makes it more simple, or just fails. The main romance is especially undercooked, sadly wasting a =great casting choice with Amy Adams. But i love that they finally ditched the whole glasses crap by the end. Most of it just feels kind of empty yet the movies seem to think it's far more complex than it really is.
It's hard to explain but it just felt kind of empty, but i do think it's worth watching if you wanna watch it.Zod makes up for an okay villain (with a fun performance by Micheal shannon) I'm up for a more dramatic approach to Supes but this was just okay. Though I think it's not "too dark" now is the city destruction a big deal at all. Seriously, calm down guys.
Again, it's not awful (infact, the hate is really overblown)but I can't call it great. It's just okay.
