Oh cooome on! What was so bad about it? I thought it was great, typical roller coaster ride which is what summer movies should be like.

The ending went against everything that Superman represents.

Hope they were all Democrats and “sons of Obama”.

However, just look at the battle as a new form of “urban renewal”. Ask Detroit about it.

I like the original Superboy/Man - “Truth, justice and the American way”.

Under Obama, it is “Lies, Injustice and the Marxist way”.

(Or: “Benghazi, IRS/AP/Rosen activities, and Obamacare”)

Any questions?

What do you get when you mix a drunken bigamist with a Communist slut?

$2 trillion equals 1 Kryptonian dollar, right?

Or two of these babies...

Exactly ...and The Incredibles was one amazingly intelligent movie. As for Man of Steel, very good movie. I am glad they didn’t try to add ‘humor.’

The should have used special affects. Filming on site can cause collateral damage.

Something is wrong when adults are giving this amount of attention to a movie about a character with supernatural powers.

LOL. True, but Superman is one of those franchises that has been around since 1933. I’m sure there will be other “remakes,” re-boots, and other incarnations in the future.

If Hollywood wants to make another Superman film to cash in on a well known franchise, I don't have a problem with it.

However, If Hollywood wants to lazily recycle ideas and "reimagine" Superman II and give it the Michael Bay treatment, I DO have a problem with it.

Likewise, I don't mind them cashing in on Mario Puzo's name by adapting another one of his mafia novels to the big screen. But if they decided to make THIS, I'd have a big problem:
