Yeah - I'm no comic book geek really, I mean I like the Batmans, the Iron Mans etc. but still, I never read any of the Superman comics or saw all of the older films.
It's just a good film man. Good action, good fight scenes, good effects. All round worth seeing
And I mean....what else is on right now in the UK? After Earth is meant to be a load of crap and that was the only alternative here

I'm seeing it this wednesday.
I definitely would not. They explain so little that it is just really frustrating to sit and watch. I didn't like it at all personally and I'm a huge action/superhero fan. But I didn't know enough of the backstory behind Superman so I spent 90% of the film being confused about why the hell there were so many plot holes and gaps, etc. I also just disliked the film style in general and the way it jumped through time so much.
I don't know, he's super idealistic and unwilling to let others get hurt, so I see him as emotionally a bit weak. He also only sees things in black and white which I'd consider a character flaw as well...it takes higher thinking skills to realize that sometimes things aren't black and white. I'll be interested to see how it all plays out. All in all, I liked the movie...but I thought Kevin Costner's character was a bum goblin.
I got to see it at 7, before the mid-night viewing, i felt special ;D but overall I thought it was an amazing movie, I really don't know much about Superman, but after watching the movie I understood better
