I got the Walmart preorder hopefully I get it tomorrow or Tuesday. I've been trying to download the digital copy on my iPad vudu app but it just shows the download circle animation and nothing else.. Won't download at all. Pisses me off, I wanted to watch it.

I picked up my copy a few days ago. I've watched all the special features but haven't found the time to watch the film yet. I hope to this weekend.
As has been mentioned the special features aren't particularly good but do offer hope that a lot more was done practically than one might have originally thought. Having said that, in a lot of instances this was just to created a performance which the digital artists could then imitate.
There's a few funny shots of Cavill striking a flying pose with his feet planted firmly on the ground only to then cut to a CGI Superman. He rarely had to actually take off the ground.

I watched it tonight online. The Walmart pre-order allowed me to watch it via the Vudu streaming service (owned by Walmart) a day before the disc release. Hopefully the disc will be in the mail so I can see it on the HDTV. For some reason, streaming to my Apple TV via my MacBook Pro has sucked balls since Apple released an update for the ATV a month or so ago.

Possible price glitch at Wal-Mart stores today, The big "S" tin set is only $24.99, it's listed online for $39.99. I decided to pick it up over going to target, I'd love the extra special features but I was able to sell the 3D disc on Ebay for 14.99! and The UV code to a buddy for 5! So I basically got the set for $5 plus the cost of tax!

Picked up the Target Digibook before work. Target has it for $19.99. It's an awesome looking set. And the book itself (selected pages from the MOS coffee table book) look really awesome. Looking forward to diving into this after work. I hear the docu that runs along with the film is pretty sweet. If the MOS thread is correct, it's been since March 2010 that we've known about this film, crazy, it's been over a 3 and a half year journey to get this film into my living room.

Awesome guys- kev, I want to get that edition, and the one with the superman/zod figurines.
Funny anecdote:
Went to BESTBUY after work and got the frack all 3D/bluray/dvd/yadayada edition. Its bestbuy so I'm obviously wandering around lusting after tvs and cd box sets and I hear this kid, an employee, and he's taking every oppurtunity to direct customers to the man of steel blu ray. Its all "...and that's a great choice for ear-buds ma'am...have you seen the new superman? ....can I help you with that playstation whatevers ? And have you seen the new superman bluray is available today?" I was grinning, glad to hear it. I have my bluray in my hands and deciding how many christmas presents I'm going to get while I'm here and this kid (19 if he's a day) asks if I need anything, and I just hold up the blu and he grins ear to ear and says "good choice sir!" Still getting used to being "sir" but very gratified to see the enthusiasm. On my way to check out, a couple- had to be 50s-ish (looked like bikers) were milling about and happened upon one of the MoS displays and were floored- the dude said "poop! Its out on bluray!" And grabbed the thing and headed for the checkout evidently forgetting what he had been in there for in the first place.
Ordered an extra large of our fave pizza from my hometown, watched the movie and "for the lightwieght fans" features. darn good. Tomorow I dive into the in-the-movie-doc.
Bring on worlds finest!

It turns out the Wal-Mart release did have a couple of exclusive special features. Can anyone with the Wal-Mart versions tell me if these 2 special features might be worth picking up a 2nd version for (can't believe I'm even considering double dipping ) Sonic Landscape of Man of steel (I think this might be the edited together clips that were available with the Deluxe version of the soundtrack, but I'm not sure) Iconic characters of Man of Steel

Won't lie guys. It's disgusting watching everyone get their Blu-Ray knowing I have to wait until December 2nd.

Picked up the 3-D version as well, although I don't have a 3-D TV yet. Hopefully, that will change soon after the wedding. One complaint, I HATE how the four discs (3-D, 2 regular Blu's, DVD) are all stacked on top of each other in the case. This is the first time I have ever bought a 3-D Blu and I wonder if they all come that way?
Anyhow, loved the features, especially the in the movie "Making Of" Very well done and it solidified for me that Snyder was/is the best man for the job. You might not like his films, and I don't like the majority of them, but he certainly knows what he's doing.
I am also now head over heels in love with Amy Adams. Seeing her talk about her approach to Lois with Cavill next to her and being able to see her dancing in the interrogation room scene sealed the deal for me. My personal favorite Lois by far.
Also, can't believe Shannon's armor was all CGI. What an incredible job, I would have never known. Shannon's humor also comes through in a big way during the Making Of. Nice to see someone who is able to have so much fun, while still taking his craft seriously.

Er...yeah... I don't like much of his work because I don't think he knows what he's doing.

I just can't get over how "bro" he is. He's just so goddarn "bro."
The Krypton documentary was awesome, very clever. The "feature" of the movie with the behind the scenes stuff that came up was pretty cool but mostly fluff. I'd much rather get the option to watch the stuff outside of the movie. It's an extra. I don't want to have to fast forward through the movie to get to the next goodie. Ah well. I'm watching the other extras that are on the main disc now.
The 75th anniversary cartoon was fracking incredible. I had waited to watch it and I'm glad I did. I gotta say, I liked the George Reeves moment the most. I dunno why. The whole darn thing was SO awesome. I loved it.
I'll be watching the movie tonight with that poop cranked the frack UP, bro!

ANECDOTE:
guy i work with a few days a week rented it last night. he's not a "NERD" as such, but likes sci-fi and soon when its good. loved original star wars/the prequels are dumb- likes abrams trek but its a bit silly, bayformers is retarded. thats where he's at.
so he comes in and says overall he'd give it a B/B+. LOVED the krypton parts- especially crowe as Jor. did NOT like the non-linear smallville/clarks journey act. wanted that chronological. liked the rest of the cast. amy adams is cute. will watch it again and looking forward to the sequel, though he admits he doesnt like affleck so itll be a big hurdle.
last night i watched the movie, the basic features, then watched the movie again. kids gave up and went to bed about midnight, marie skipped the second screening and is probably ready for divorce.

There's a difference between not liking his movies and him not knowing what he's doing as a director. There's no doubt in my mind he was the correct choice for this version of Superman. Whether or not you personally liked it is another discussion.

exactly KRIS, im still getting my arms around david lynch material (thanks to maverick and belloq) but just because he's not my go-to fave for all things doesnt mean i dont respect/admire him.
man of steel is a best of a movie, and unapologetic. i think is kind of cool that a "mainstream/square/dull/boring" character is the root of the hand wringing and polarizing and destined for cult status film that some of us enjoy and some of them cant chortle enough over.

Loved the "action" feature. Lots more wire work and practical stunts than you would think. Makes me like the movie even more.

Yeah, that was a fun extra. Inspiring. Gads, Cavill got huuuge.
I hope we get a commentary and deleted scene section someday in a doubledipped future.
I watched the movie finally. I loved it. It's great but it's not really great, and I'll take that for now. The bluray transfer is gorgeous, the colors on the suit are incredible (it practically shines) and the sound is just window shaking. I can't wait to see what's next.

I like it more each time I see it. Especially the music. The first flight scene when it's on loud is fantastic.

I think it's just so unusual for an actor to do it since it went by the wayside after Schwarzenegger's and Stallone's prime periods.
