Saw it at the IMAX theatre (in 3-D). Amazing! Great acting, a timeless story and a technological marvel of a production. I give it 4 stars!

The only thing I didn't care for was the blatant "Christ-ification" of the Man of Steel -- "the Father's Voice" directing him ie ..."they are a strange people but they have great potential -- and so I have sent them YOU, my Son ..."; his self-sacrificing saving of the world, after which he falls back to Earth 'dead' and in crucifixion pose, no less.

Oh BROTHER, I say! Give it a break, willya!

I did like the treatment of women, and of men as characters though. For example, no manly duking it out with Lois' new mate. This is the 21st Century! THe 'rivals' are portrayed as understanding, emotionally controlled, mutually supportive, more concerned with Lois-and-child's well-being than their own wants. What a giant leap forward for mankind!

And no 'saving' poor helpless little Lois either (well, he does of course - but she saves him at the end). Even the "villian woman" shows courage and integrity, doing her fair share of 'saving the world'.

I'll stop now though, before I let the whole story slip out! What awaits is a brand new and exciting 'twist' to the Superman saga that's fuel for a whole new series of movies I bet -- but you'll have to see it for yourself. :-)
