“Superman Returns” director Bryan Singer offered his thoughts on Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” in a recent interview with Empire (via Comic Book Movie).
“I am in awe of the world building and the scope of that picture. It’s tough for me. I’m not a critic and it starts to get into a weird thing where one director is talking about another director. I know how hard it is to make a movie, especially one of these movies and especially a Superman movie, and there was so much I was impressed with in that movie,” said Singer, who offered a minor criticism as well.

“There were things I might have done a little differently just because of the way I view the character. Don’t misinterpret that as me not liking something,” cautioned Singer, who added that his thoughts shouldn’t be mistaken as a proper review.
While Singer praised Henry Cavill’s performance, he said there was a distinct reason why Brandon Routh was cast in “Superman Returns” over Cavill.
British actor Henry Cavill said that it's impossible to prepare for Superman-level stardom as he attended the European premiere of director Zack Snyder's dark and gritty "Man of Steel" in a rain-soaked London on Wednesday (June 12). Cavill, 30, is so far best known for 16th century TV drama "The Tudors" and the 2011 fantasy film "Immortals" but he has flown under the radar of most movie-goers until now. Cavill said that he worked out hard to get ready for the iconic role, but understands the need to roll with whatever comes with being associated with the film. The studio, Warner Brothers, hopes it can re-launch a new series of Superman films after its 2006 offering, "Superman Returns" and its leading man Brandon Routh, failed to live up to box office expectations. But Cavill says he's not feeling the pressure. "Man of Steel" will be released in the U.S. on June 14th.
