He was outstanding in the Tv series "The Tudors." Handsome with an edge... I know I wouldn't like standing next to him at a party... I'd get zip attention. That said, he was brilliant in his role.... subtle but efficient.
It's interesting that foreign actors have overtaking Americans in iconic American roles. Batman is British. now Superman. Not complaining, really I'm not as I'm all for the best actor landing the role. I personally love the latest Aussie invasion, apart from Mel Gibson and Ncole Kidman, et al, the lead in "Walking Dead" playing a Southerner is magnificent. As an American, personally i don't mind if a foreigner plays an American superhero, but I don't think I'd enjoy 007 played by an American.
Although I ain't sure about Cavill - I really think they may have nailed the rest of it - Goyer's solid, and Snyder's got cred (Nolan's only producing - I thought he would be directing ... ), so I'm getting pretty excited about this to be honest. I'd still have preferred the Coen's to have written it - but you can't have everything

Went to see it today - got there a bit late, and the theatre was crammed - never seen it so full, lucky I got a seat at all.
Rotten tomatoes gaves it 56%, but RT audience gave it 82%
Beginnings was great - they worked that out well, and the story-line on the whole's well thought through, but later on there's some horrible plot holes. Some really good FX in there.
Ending dragged out for me - packed it full of fx, but neither of SP nor GZ seemed to feel any ill-effect no matter how many buildings they got rammed into, and oft-times I had to wonder just who was winning.
Cavill was fine but it's not really a role that's going to stretch anyone, and M Shannon was a worthy adversary. I actually thought Costner was quite good as well.
Overall, I thought they did the 're-work' on it quite well, but after the re-work (boot) they had to actioneer the bolted on end, and they really went for a bunch of films you've seen before - blow as much up as you can. The human side of the story's worth developing, but as they come in $20m bites, what do you do with the other £180m?
So I liked the start, and most of the middle, but it ended with nothing new brought to the party.
