Why so much hype?

Redundant and unnecessary.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The movie in total was boring. There were some interesting scenes but for the most part the tone was too serious and uneven, the characters were boring and to some extent unlikable. I don't think a lot of detail was put in parts of Clark Kent's life. I also don't think a lot of emotion was put into the acting. The actions scenes were great but even they don't save the movie from its stupidity. One scene that may piss off some fans is the scene where Superman is forced to snap Zod's neck. Personally that doesn't bother me as Superman did what he had to do. In conclusion, the movie was boring and it's nothing short of wasted talent.

I only recently watched this movie after having heard some things that didn't sound all that positive but I have to say I was surprised by how good it actually was. It was better than expected, not boring and you can definitely watch it in your downtime. There were a few plotpoints I honestly found stupid but other than that? It was good

This movie ruined the DC movies for me ever since I seen this terrible movie every time I see a DC movie with the exception of suicide squad and wonder woman the movies that feature Henry Cavill's dark superman ruin the movies for me. I loved the first 2 superman movies with Chris Reeve and returns was ok. I loved Smallville, that the show is better than all the DC movies in recent years. Marvel keeps dominating the box office making thst money and getting good reviews, DC can't do both. Marvel makes great movies DC makes good shows flash , arrow, legends of tomorrow, Supergirl. I like my light superman not a dark and gritty superman this movie kicked up the dark universe, because of this movie the DC universe is dark one of favorite parts of the deadpool 2 tralier was where he said to cable "so dark are you sure you are not from the DC universe?". I like just about every movie better than this the worst comedy's are better than this. I like Meet the Blacks better than this , Spawn, all the FF movies including the 2015 reboot better than this movie, superhero movie with drake Bell. The list can go on there are plenty of movies I like better than this movie. I like all the actors that played Clark kent better than Henry Cavill, I like Chris Reeve, Dean Cain, Tom Welling, Brandon Routh, and Tyler Hoechlin from Supergirl.

I've never been a big Superman fan. Growing up I gravitated more to Batman and Spider-Man, but this film was entertaining and the best recent DC film, just behind Wonder Woman. It is too bad, because this DC Universe has so much potential. Henry Cavill was cast perfectly for this role and I really can't see any other actor in this day and age playing the titular role. Forget what follows it and just watch this as a stand-alone film and you'll appreciate it much more.
