I am Indonesian and I live in Jakarta. When I first saw the trailer I said to myself at last a good series made by Indonesian. It featured Indonesian supernatural myths and it looked different from other Indonesian made. After all, it was picked up by HBO, so it should be good, yes? No! I didn't see the first episode, but I saw the second, and it didn't take me 30 minutes to change the channel.
To me it was a big no. The story was actually promising but the execution was not. The dialog were somewhat scarce, short, and not really interconnected to one another. The acting was worse. They were not actually acting but only tried to look cool. Trying to be cool was not the same as acting.
In short, the overall look was not really different from other Indonesian horror film.

I really don't understand why many critics don't like this movie. Come on, Superman is not Batman. Superman has superhuman powers while Batman has not, so, the movie should be packed with destructive actions, given that the bad guys have the same powers as Superman himself. And given the super powers that Superman has, this movie also should be packed with CGI.
Story wise, this movie do have a story to tell, not just actions and CGI. Superman's background story and Zod's motive are quite interesting to be told. And in my opinion, the drama and the action in this movie are balanced. I mean, this movie should have long action sequences because the bad guys are not easy to subdue. They have super powers too. The fights should be long and hard and destructive. If the dramatic element is to be expanded more, the movie would've been longer and more boring (for comparison, in my opinion, The Dark Knight Rises, although it is a good movie, is long and some parts are dragged and boring).
Character wise, they are absolutely not one dimensional. Nobody is genuinely good or genuinely bad. As the good guy, Clark has his own doubt. As he is different from the others, he at first hesitated to show his true power, fearing that he would not be accepted in the planet he lived. And the bad guy, Zod has his own motive too, which was actually quite a noble one, although he has chosen a not quite noble way to do it. In this movie, Zod is not the megalomaniac that he was in other portrayals.
For the Superman character I'll give 10 out of 10. And for movie itself, I'll give 8 out of 10. This is one good and entertaining movie. And this is the Superman movie I've been waiting for, although it can always be made a little better.
