I think Cavill's a solid actor. People possibly even expect more from his acting than they would someone less good looking in order to justify his prominence is down to talent over looks and that's not really fair. These directors and producers wouldn't cast him on looks alone, you can be sure of that,

Unfortunately anyone who suggests Cavill is a bad actor will be accused of being 'jealous' (the word they are really looking for is envious, but that's a whole different argument about grammar) of his looks. I'm sorry but while many people will like to see him on screen because he is undoubtedley very handsome, it shouldn't make him immune from criticism against his art.
To quantify:
Bradd Pitt is a good actor.
George Clooney is a very good actor.
Johnny Depp is as good an actor as there is.
Henry Cavill? Let's leave it there.

I saw the movie today. It's a popcorn movie and you can't expect big things from popcorn movies, you just sit on your couch and watch. Obviously the script needed more development, the only one saving the movie was Henry Cavill, he was great and believable in all the movie. He did a great job, he did his part, but if the script or the direction suck are not Henry's fault or of any other actor!!! Do your homework as journalist better!!!

I think the script could have been developed more, definitely. I was hoping that the spanish chick was going to be a love interest as well. But I think Henry did the best he could do with the part. I am not a blind fan cavill either, as I think his american accent was lacking, and sometimes he would say things that didn't hide the fact he is British. But over all, I liked it. I wanted more information, about the Dad's other life, about the briefcase, about Will's "business", about why he and his father didn't get along, I got more info on that when henry did an interview about the movie. The movie ends abruptly as well. I wanted more an explaination, see what happens. They did leave it open for his character to make another one though, and if they did I would go see it.

Yeah, right….. blame it all on Cavill…(and before you say i am just another "blind fan" of his i tell you that i did not like his acting in this one either but the whole movie sucked!) Like if the movie/script was a blilliant masterpiece and that horrible actor ruined it for us. You keep mentioning his good looks and you are biased by the stereotype 'handsome but not talent" like if Brad Pitt never starred in horrible movies and never gave crappy performances in his life before making it to the Oscars nominations. As for man of steel, until i see it i can not express an opinion and i find the reactions of people that are bashing him without even seeing it at least childish.

Finally! Welcome to the people-realizing-Henry-Cavill-is-a-terrible-actor Club! It's been strange the way you've been acting like because he didn't get cast as James Bond, he was this secretly amazing actor. He was AWFUL in "The Tudors"…it's pretty evident the guy is a handsome blank.

Seriously, is the Superman role cursed?! Hopefully the script of Man of Steel will showcase a better performance.
