The comparison I like to make is to Watchmen. Superman had a similar pacing and mood to it I thought.
I'm not a huge Superman fan. My friends basically dragged me to it (although I did want to see Superman on fire like in the trailer), but I thought it was very good. Action, acting, casting, etc... all seemed just right. Everyone has their own version of Superman they like though, so I can see some superfans thinking this wasn't their thing, but film making wise, I would say it's excellent. 55 on metacritic baffles me. I would've thought the critics at least would have liked it.
