Loved The Hobbit as well but what didn't you like about the new Superman? I know some fans had trouble with how overall dark the movie was but after watching Smallville for 9 years--I couldn't sit through S10--having good actors playing Clark and Lois was a Godsend :):)
I didn't mind how dark it was, but I mainly found the dialogue horrible. Some actors can save bad dialogue, these ones couldn't imo.
With all the superhero movies, what I enjoy most about them is the characters discovering their powers and learning how to control them, which lets us get to know the characters better. There was very little of that.
The way he kept going on about 'you're not my real parents' made me instantly dislike him. I needed to feel a bond between them for that line to really drive home. And the way he didn't attempt to save his dad - grr! So easy to have pretended to be a normal person and still saved him.
And too many building smashing. Felt like they leveled a city.
No, I love getting other opinions! And there were quite a few fight sequences and I think the entirety of Metropolis was destroyed during thef inal Superman/Zod blow out. A trifle over the top :)
Man of Steel was really boring for me. I didn't even want to stay and finish it. I liked the parts on his home planet but that was about it. It reminded me of the second Star Trek movie which the name of escapes me at the moment. I didn't know I could be so bored with all that action. lol
