His dialogue was amazing and always got me pumped. When he hijacked all the electronics on earth to make his entrance, you knew it was on. The final fight was awesome too. I've been waiting for a fight like that in a Supes film forever, and they delivered. I just didn't like how serious it all ways, like most critics. Its a superman film, but Batman cracked more jokes than Clark did. The serious tone was a bit much.
Everything else delivered though. Cavill made the perfect Superman in terms of presence and attitude.
Stark has more charisma, but Clark is more known for presence than he is charisma, and that's an area he destroyed in. He has me hyped for the possibilities of future movies, whereas IM3 kind of killed my hype for future movies.
On the other hand, there was no way it would do bad after being the first Marvel movie to follow Avengers. Avengers pretty much guaranteed it success. If IM3 was in the same position as MoS and had to start everything from scratch like IM1, it would have done horrible.

Of course Batman cracked more jokes. He had 3 movies. Batman Begins was very serious. When did he crack a joke in Begins?
