Meanwhile, the Inquisitr.com website reports that while the movie has received mixed reviews amongst critics, the popularity of the film at the Box Office is equally matched by the positive chatter online via Twitter.

    A new analysis of social network users via PCS Ltd's Social Knowledge platform clearly shows a majority of viewers had love for the film.

    The company's software has allowed PCS to take a closer look at all the users that have tweeted about the film. 105,000 tweets were sent over opening weekend and they were helpfully broken down into three categories: positive, neutral and negative, with the positive comments coming out on top with 58,000 positive-focused tweets.

    As to be expected on any films opening night, the tweets and comments were at their most fierce Friday within an hour of the films first screening in the United States.

    On average, Man of Steel has earned 10.81 percent of comments that review the film as 'awesome', while 9.61 percent gave the film a 'good rating'; all of which means that, in addition to the $128 million mark that the film hit, Man of Steel is loved by the majority of people who have seen it.
