See, Zack Snyder? It's not so hard. I wouldn't worry about yours if I'd seen something like this already. I admit I could do without Supes stealing one of Will Smith's one-liners, but John Noble's a great Brainiac, and Matt Bomer was an early contender for Bryan Singer's Superman Lives back when he was a total unknown, so it's cool that he gets a do-over.
It also reminds me that Kandor was the original city Under the Dome.

This looks like a waste of time. There have been much better animated Superman movies. And no way is John Noble better than Corey Burton on Justice League Unlimited. Come on, the JLU Brainiac was probably the single best version of that character. They portrayed him as an emotionless machine that was possessed of a singular drive.
@jason.huck.hinshaw Yes, but much like comics the creative teams change. I mean, crap, we'd all have liked them to shut down DC Animation as a tribute to McDuffie now that his last scripts / concepts are done with, but that's obviously not happening. I'm fine with them trying different takes on the stories, just... pick good stories first, y'know? I'm sure we're going to be subjected to a Blackest Night two-part movie at some point, and no one wants to see that.

This was the idiotic storyline where Johns killed off Pa Kent to appease his 70s fetish, right? Pass.
Meh. And Matt Bomer would have been a terrible choice for Superman in a movie. Glad they didn't go with him.
It took me about 27 seconds to get used to the animation...but now I want to see this.
Why on earth would a character like Brainiac, a super intelligent computer, be portrayed as a big muscle-bound green gorilla? Why would such a villain ever come to blows with Superman. It's supposed to be brains vs brawn, not a mutual slug-fest.

I'll give it a borrow right now. As @blackarbor says Superman becomes a Deus ex machina pretty quickly. With that being said I saw nothing that would make me scream in nerd rage yet.

Eh, pass. I don't like the style they're doing here, and I never much cared for Superman in general. He's pretty much a Deus ex machina in tights. Wake me when they make a Red Son animated movie.
@blackarbor "He's pretty much a Deus ex machina in tights."
I'm not sure if you could be more wrong with that statement.
