Just got back from seeing it and even paid the extra for a 3D viewing. While its always nice to see Superman grace the big screen, it felt like a mess and it's only right at the end of the film that I came to the conclusion that they should have spent the effort on a new Supergirl film instead.
Still, the new cast are happy in their work and those who are Sam Emerson-tier comic book fans will probably get the most kick out of all the extra characters in the film.

It definetly is a bit cluttered but how well one thinks they handled that will be a big factor in how much one likes it. I enjoyed it but thought it was good, not great.
It would be difficult for me to care less one way or another about Supergirl and as much as fans care for her I don't she has enough of a general audiences draw to put her at the front to draw people in so trying to use her as an intro to this new DCCU probably would have not gotten the attention or box office they are looking for.
The film seems to be doing well so, unsurprisingly, I'm sure there will be a sequel, not counting things like Justice League. Hopefully they'll use a villian that isn't some form of "bad" Superman ie Zod, Bizarro, (another) Clone, (actual) Ultraman. Maybe we could finally get Brainiac or Metallo?

Good not great I can agree with.
But it’s the Good Good. Not the polite Good.
What works for me is that the world has potential. Metahumans have been around 300 years, where Supes is 3 years into his career.
There’s a lot of room there for interesting stories.

We knew that about a year ago.
Still happy you're getting the SG movie you want though.

No one reads previous posts. I said Sascha Baron Cohen is playing Mephisto in the MCU... flash forward a bunch of pages and I see posts of people shocked that he is playing Mephisto, and that it totally came out of left field.
