Russell Crowe as Jor-El and Kevin Costner as Pa Kent give me reason to hope, but I'm still apprehensive. I still don't believe Zack Synder is the right fit for Superman at all, and I still don't get what the point of Clark "Deadliest Catch" Kent is - other than to say, "Hey, look! It's just like Batman Begins! Watch as Clark Kent goes on a journey to find himself! He grows a beard!" We'll have to see indeed.We'll have to wait and see. That teaser did nothing to say either way, even if it was pretty cool to see the big back on the big screen.

Saw the film this morning. Not sure how I feel about certain parts. Thinking I like TDK more. But the damn twist...I saw the twist coming a mile away from the beginning but not the HOW.
My bigger issue is that for a big chunk doesn't feel like I'm watching a Batman film.
I agree. The Avengers was the best CBM movie of the summer, being both a culmination of a huge undertaking and a promise for more to come. The Amazing Spider-Man was a refreshing restart that bodes well for the wall-crawler's cinematic future. And The Dark Knight Rises was a satisfying conclusion to a journey which reshaped the CBM genre entirely. All in all, not a bad summer at all.As for the movie...I liked it a lot. I wouldn't put it up there with TDK and Avengers, but it was great.
Hurm...
I thought the first half of the film was pretty emotionally hollow and suffered from pacing issues. The second half felt like an entirely different film though.
A very satisfying end to the Nolan trilogy.
