Re: Man of Steel Review, Spoiler Free
Gotta say, the action was over the top, and what was expected when Superman and Zod went at it at the end. I actually quite enjoyed the film and found it more enjoyable than Superman Returns. That being said, I do wish it was a bit more than Superman discovering who he is, and then almost immediately forced into action. There was really no change time between a guy with a funny suit, and Superman.
As far as sequels go, yeah Lex would be a great villain if he were done right. (And if Ironman can go toe to toe with Thor in Avengers, an armored Lex Luthor should be able to give Superman a run for his money, especially if Kryptonite is involved.) But I think Lex should almost be saved for the background. I'd say Doomsday, but that will lead to a crappy version Death of Superman story or something else disappointing. Maybe if they want to expand, try going for Despero, Mongul, or maybe even Black Adam.
