The problem is that this one is so so so very different from any Superman we've seen, (being based on newer comic material, 1990-now, not Donner's Silver age stuff) and people keep beating the inevitable Donner/Christopher Reeve comparison to death. This ain't yo dad's Superman. Being so different and alien (ohoho) compared to older Superman stuff is what people are nitpicking it for. That and the non-linear storyline. Don't go in expecting a Nolan movie though, this is Snyder's movie.
But the movie is marvelous. The special effects, cinematography and the design are out of this world. And the cast delivers. There were parts where my jaw was on the floor. Zimmer's soundtrack is phenomenal, and has been downloaded from iTunes since. Cavill is perfect, Michael Shannon is perfect, but Kevin Costner's performance is what really hits hard. His portrayal of Mr. Kent is the benchmark now, like Reeve's Superman was. I for one will go back and see it probably two or three more times.
