To chip in on the Man of Steel debate, the entire third act bored me as it was just endless CGI destruction and the number of civilian casualties would have been enormous. I really enjoyed the scenes between Clark Kent and his adoptive father, with the scenes featuring Kevin Costner being the best ones in the film.
Michael Shannon made a really good snarling baddie but, like I said, the CGI fight scenes quickly became lifeless and boring, looking more like something from a computer game than a feature film.
I'll need to watch Superman Returns again to form an opinion on how it compares to Man of Steel as it's been years since it watched it last. I can say with certainty that Henry Cavill was a better Superman than Brandon Routh, and Amy Adams was a better Lois Lane than Kate Bosworth.
