Going to see this later today.
I concur with with the review calling it odd, there's attempts at comedy but then they go for serious and showing the brutal murdering of people. Then back to comedy. Its really quite strange. And the final act is........... I don't know what was going and how people came to be where they were.
Mary Jane was cut from Amazing Spider Man 2.

Aside from Amy Adams, I think I noticed like 2 or 3 other actors from Smallville in it, the guy who played Emil Hamilton on the show and the guy who played Old Lex.
Why don't you go see it and make your own judgement of the movie?
I disagree with Knightwing about the "greatness" of the movie, but I wasn't bored by it, (although they probably could've cut some stuff out), it is an acceptable movie.
