Just got back from seeing a 10 o'clock showing in Baltimore. Definitely, definitely worth the wait. Some things are revealed that I did not see coming at *all* Spoiler: it's HIS kid? holy shit. Special effects adn action were great, it was well written, and I believed the character dynamics and motivations... which can be hard with such epic characters.
It's not perfect though. The main problem is its length: the movie doesn't seem to know how or when to end. I think it had more to do with the overall pacing of scenes towards the end, as opposed to there being too much story. And I might not have a problem with it so much, but I could sense the audience getting a bit restless, which in turn made me want the movie to end, so that people would like the movie.
And Routh doesn't quite do it for me (he's pretty darn close though), and I think the main issue is his voice. Maybe I'm being petty, but... it's just not deep enough. It doesn't evoke heroism...
But any remote fan Superman or comics or action movies should see this, 100%, don't hesitate.
And Kumar is now on my shit list.
