Or should I rent it or wait to see it on HBO?

I wanted to see it in the theater, never got around to it.

Worth the rent, not worth the buy IMO.

maybe, but probably only if you're a Superman geek (no offense), and really, the suit is a little off for those guys.

If DC can finally string a few of their heroes together into a run like Marvel has done, then MOS becomes more worthwhile as a repeat watch.

I liked it. Thought the Krypton scenes in particular were very well done.

I thought it was great. The Superman film I have been waiting for. Great action and a lot of heart at the center. I think they did a great job. The effects were a little overwhelming at times, but it got a lot better upon repeat viewings IMO.

Did not suck. Imo it is the best Superman movie. But superman is far from my favorite superhero.
He is basically a God with only one weakness and that is how he is treated in this movie. The battles between SM, Zod and the kryptonions are epic destruction, the way it should be. FX are excellent and at least it wasn't another Led Luthor land grab. Still, it is Superman. I bought it and will watch again...when the mood strikes.

9/10 for a Superman movie.
7/10 for a popcorn flick.

ETA: at no point is Clark Kent a bumbling fool. Always hated that about the Reeves movies.

It's flawed, but it's certainly better than any of the marvel movies that everyone her loved

It's definitely worth the buy. It's the Superman movie we've been literally waiting decades for.

It had a good to ok first half, second half was epic just on the fact that Superman was actually fighting people that challenged him.

I absolutely loved Krypton in this movie. I wish they would do a prequel set on Krypton with Jor-El and Lara as the main characters and them having conflict with the council or General Zod. The book, last days of krypton has great source material for such a movie.

I saw it in the theatre and I enjoyed it but now that it's out on dvd, I'm not certain I want to buy it.

It's really long. That's the biggest issue I have with it.

It's not a crappy movie IMO..... just really long and a little too much CGI stuff.

Its a pretty decent super hero movie, but not spectacular by any means. It isn't horrible or refund worthy, but not sure I would buy it. Thats just me.

IMO The Dark Knight is the best super hero movie ever made. Mostly because of the Joker character.

I was cracking up at how pissed off Zod would get.

Really loved the movie, though. Like others are saying, it's the Superman movie I've always wanted to see.

Saw twice in theater (including midnight premiere). Bought on Blu-Ray and have already watched it twice.

I really like this movie.

It's worth a dollar out of the Red Box, but not worth owning.
