My only real fear for the film at this point is that it may get lost in the amount of information its going to need to put all of these events and characters together. While its good in a way that we don't know how Krypton is destroyed (if it even is, according to rumors, however I wouldn't really be upset if Krypton wasn't destroyed but somehow everyone on it killed, same by an Eradicator weapon or something similar, and all that is left of the planet are crumbling ruins which could make for an interesting backdrop in a later film) because that leaves something for the film to explain it just seems like there is going to be an information and Kryptonian mythology aspect to this film that is either going to be quickly glossed over or talked about too much, both of which could bring the film down overall. Hopefully that won't happen.
I'm also not thrilled by the look of Zod and his soldiers, mostly because the armor doesn't look advanced enough for the type of culture Krypton was. I feel like it should look sleeker, slimmer, more body forming and not so much like ancient armor given some wires and tubing. It looks a bit too Brotherhood of Steel from Fallout than what I would expect Kryptonian armor to look like.
But, I do like the look of the ship and what we've seen of Krypton so far. Getting tired of seeing the crystal look in each interpretation.
At the end of the day though this film is going to shine on performances, just as the Superman: The Movie did, and if I have high confidence in anything its the assembling of amazing actors and actresses that have been given such iconic roles. When I rewatch Superman: The Movie, while that film definitely excelled because of the fun and thrill it brought, some of the stuff in it would have been really bad (such as the Luthor and Otis specific scenes) if not for Reeve, Hackman, Brando, Kidder, Cooper, Ford, and the others who really brought those characters to life and were able to convey some bad dialog and carry some awkward scenes so marvelously that the movie just moved and flowed perfectly. I think Cavill can give us a great Clark Kent and Superman cause he's been great in everything I've seen him in so far and when you add to that such powerhouses like Costner, Crowe, Adams, Lane, Shannon, and Fishburne I think we're going to be in for a treat and even if some of the scenes and some of the dialog falter with this talent I think its going to work.
