It was intense at times but I just couldn't keep track of everything that was goin on after awhile

Agreed. Although I didn't enjoy it overall as much as I expected to, I think the set up for things going forward has good potential.

>>Didn't mind this too much since I think they only showed it

Most of the stuff w/ the kids made sense since that really is how kids act towards one another when someone doesn't "fit in". Can't recall the fishing boat incident other than it being on some treat the new guy like shit steez. Military men were just mad he was stealin their shine.

Zod snap moment?

>>Biggest problem for me was that it needed a better villain

>Yeah, a superhero movie is only as good as its villain in my

Who do you think they'll have for the sequel &/or who's your preference?
