So what's understand from reading certain reviews is that this is essentially a "blow shite up superhero movie" without much substance. That correct?

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.
