SPOILERS AHEAD:



I wasn't impressed... It just seemed like the idea behind the "action" scenes was that there isn't a problem that can't be solved through lifting. Throughout the film all he ever seems to do is pick up or catch a variety of large objects.

He enters the public eye again by catching a plane, he then proceeds to save a woman by carrying a car, catching the Daily Planet globe, saving lois by lifting a ship, and then saving America by lifting an island made of kryptonite (which was in my opinion ridiculously stupid given even a small amount is meant to make him weak).

He even, despite being the ultimate good guy, decides to hit on a married woman. How? By carrying her around Metropolis.

Clark was underused, Lois was a bit of a bitch to him and her husband, Superman wasn't very iconic, Lex was an idiot, his assistants were cliche in a very bad way.

Retro is fine, but this crossed from "hey, that makes me nostalgic of the old films" to, "hey this is just a rehashed version of something we saw 30 years ago".
