So what I understand from reading certain reviews is that this is essentially a "blow shite up superhero movie" without much substance. That correct?
Just stirring the pot a bit. But that's the sense I'm getting from certain reviews. Either way, I've got to see it now. Low expectations are a good thing for me.

Nah. Don't get me wrong...a ton of shite blows up! But there is a ton of story. It's just not the story we've been accustomed to seeing before. We get the origin story, but a slightly different one and told in a way that gives it new life.
Honestly, I think the people for whom this movie will ring hollow will be those going in expecting a certain version of the character and then being disappointed they didn't get that.
If what you want is a bunch of Clark tooling around the Daily Planet in glasses and bumping into shite, or the Lois/Clark/Superman love story then you might be a bit disappointed.

Way off. Lot of substance, just presented in an entirely different way.
