Not as good as hoped...but still good

Rating: 7/10 (11 September 2013)

I'd score this 7.5 out of 10. Found it pretty entertaining, not overlong. Didn't think that the end battle felt like it was overlong either (which a lot of people have moaned about). Watched it in 3D, which I think spoilt my enjoyment of the movie. The 3D wasn't up to much (the 3D trailer for 'Pacific Rim' looked awesome by comparison).
The only thing that I really didn't like was the silly flying dragon thing that Jor-el rides at the start. I can only suspend my disbelief so far, and this seemed like something from 'The Never Ending Story'. They're an advanced race. I'm sure that they would have better modes of transport than a dog with wings.
I've seen a lot of people complaining about Supes killing Zod, and that "Superman would never kill anybody". These people obviously have short memories. In SM2 Supes kills Zod, even after he's taken away his powers and rendered him harmless. And he doesn't show an ounce of remorse. Ursa and Non also die, though not by Supes hand (although he doesn't try to save them). In MoS He had no choice but kill him. Not doing so would have meant the destruction of the entire human race. You can see the turmoil etched on his face (before he does it) and then the despair afterwards.
Liked Henry Cavill in the part. Brought a lot of humanity to it.
But really it's just a movie isn't it. As long as it's entertaining, I don't care too much. I'm not going to look for plot holes, or analyse it too much (despite the paragraph above).
