I kind of go with the critics because I'm not a film nerd to the point that I've ever seen a French film, but I'm not the type to go see some bullshite like Ironman 3 because I know what is coming: Stuff I've seen a million times.
Nolan being involved made me think Man of Steel was gonna be done right, and let's be honest, nothing is harder to make than a Superman movie because he is squeaky clean and can only be compromised by kryptonite or someone else from Krypton with similar powers.
Tough gig, but I had hopes that Nolan could do it. Seeing the critic's reviews, I'm kinda bummed. May pass on a theater watch.

You would be doing yourself a great disservice by allowing paid professionals to dampen your excitement. The audience reaction is at 82% percent positive. I thought it was a fantastic film.

Just got back from watching it. I kind of liked it.
But after watching the movie, I can understand why the reviews are so mixed. It succeeds and fails in different areas.
The pacing was really uneven, especially the first half of the movie. I can understand why it isn't a totally accessible movie because many parts of the movie required me to fill in the blanks from my personal knowledge of the character(s). So for the average movie-goer who's main knowledge of Superman is from pop culture, the Reeve films, and Smallville, I can understand how such a tonal shift of the character can be disappointing.
With that said, it should be a crowd-pleaser to the die-hard fans. And of course, if nothing else, it was pretty to look at.
