Just got back from seeing this. Really enjoyed it. Don't really get the critic hate on it. Nice twist to the origin story. Great cast. I like the new Superman - much better than the last stiff. At times he reminded me of Reeve. Crowe was a good Jor-El. Made me forget about his odious turn in Les Miserables. I liked Zod more as a zealot than a sneering lunatic.
Also lots of destruction in Kansas and New York - always a plus.
