Ah. That's good. I was a little afraid that the ending was somewhat of a cop-out.
I might check it out now.

Nah. The spoiler'd bit was just Catwoman's motivation through the movie, not how it ends. Just keep an open mind about Bane. His voice tends to spark a Love or Hate reaction.

To which I say: Better than Batman and Robin.

One thing that did take me out of the movie though was The Bat, and that's just because of how my mind works. I spent a good thirty minutes staring at it with the movie paused trying to figure out how in the hell something like that even flies. The Tumbler I'll give you, that could happen. The Bat though makes my brain hurt.

Better than Batman And Robin, but is it better than Batman Returns?

Anyway, it's Batman. That's how it flies.
And before you attack me for resorting to that excuse, I want you to know that I loathe the "It's Batman. That's why [Blank]" excuse, but sometimes writers will literally resort to it with no other reasoning beyond that.

Is the fight actually good? Non-animated Superman films tend to have piss poor fight scenes.

I'm starting to see that, because no way on Gosei's Totem'd Face that thing would ever work in reality. And even if it did, it would never move as quickly as it does on screen. The physics just aren't there.

And yes, yes it is. Even without the constant epic of Christopher Walken.

The fighting is incredible and shit all in the same time.

I've been waiting for a true superhuman clash like from the comics and it doesn't disappoint, this is what the live action DBZ movie should have been like.

That said CGI is still nowhere near there yet and a lot of it looks very artificial and more like a game cutscene than a movie in places. It doesn't help that the high-def cameras we have now expose the seams a lot bigger than they were probably intended to be.

DB: Evolution... -headdesks-

Metropolis is flattened near enough by the end. They fight all the way into space and back down again. Throw trains at each other. Each power has an artistic way of being realised. Zod kicks SO MUCH ASS because he was literally bred for battle so where as Supes needed his whole life to master his powers, it only took Zod a matter of hours.

Ah, but does he do it. Because if he doesn't say "Kneel before Zod" I will ask for my money back

I thought we agreed never to speak of that again.
