watched this for the first time tonight, and was mesmerised ! its basically Lex beating Superman and what happens next.Very enjoyable and much richer than i thought it was going to be.
Lots of wee comic references to things like Jimmy olsen,Watchmen and even a nice nod to John Byrne's Superman .
a very pleasant and surprisingly good.

I agree, Gerry. We saw it as a family on opening night at the movies, and it had both a comic book sensibility but also emotional depth. Some real heroism, turned on its head.

We also have the blu-ray and the kids enjoy rewatching it.

This and Bolt are my two non-Pixar favorite animated features.

This and Despicable Me and How to Train Your Dragon are my three favorite non-Pixar (and I like them all better than Up).

Shelby and I watched this tonight for the first time. We really enjoyed it (though I felt Minion should have been called "Mr. Monkey Fishhead"). It's a good companion piece with The Incredibles and Big Hero 6 (though I like both more).

Apparently you are unaware of my long-running legal battle with the filmmakers over their unauthorized use of my image in the movie...

I agree, though I rate this one above Big Hero 6 and below the Incredibles.

Yep, have to agree, this was in heavy rotation in my house for a while I would always get sucked in. One of my favorites.

Though, if I have to complain about something, and I know I don't but I'm going to anyway .... I felt Brad Pitt's casting was way off the mark for the super-guy. He just ... sounded like Brad Pitt to me, and wasn't in line with what I thought they were trying to portray with the character.

Absolutely. The list is much longer now.

Still doesn't include Kung Fu Panda, though. That one is still Meh.
