I rather enjoyed Man of Steel. What did you find lacking, B.?

I was never a big Superman fan, and don't need to see yet another origin story... Really it was the big battle, after half the city has been destroyed (and he's saved the other half) they proceed to destroy loads more as-yet-untouched massive glass buildings, as if he's never heard of collateral damage. Yay, Superman, thanks for saving us! Mind where you throw the villain next time, eh? Even taking the battle out into space didn't keep items safe.

Hmm, you suppose he's a bit more of a morally ambivalent Superman than the Boy Scouts we're used to? The dads tried to pass things along to him but they both had morally questionable positions.

Yes, it was a little like saving a house from fire by blowing up the neighbouring dam. I was also a little puzzled by the scene where Kal kisses Lois: was that some massive car park in the centre of Metropolis? If so, where were the cars?

In retrospect, this Jor-El is closer to the Smallville reboot than the 1970s version, assuming his son will eventually rise to a kind of benevolent dictatorship (cf. Miracle Man).
