We just came back from watching Superman... needless to say, I was very skeptical.  I wrote off many DC releases. However, I decided to give this movie a shot.

@SpartanEvolved mentioned Superman was awesome, reviews seemed really good... so I gave it a chance. I did like other Superman movies... it was several other DC movies that soured my opinion of DC over the last many years. Now there are a couple DC movies I want to catch up on lol  ;D

I would say it's worth a view - pretty good to great movie.  :great: 

Have you seen the movie? Do you want to see it? What are your thoughts?  Post it up!

The trailers alone has gotten me excited about this movie. They have reminded me of the old 50's and 60's comics. It looks like fun.

@SpartanEvolved will tell you... it's great. I was super skeptical.  It's funny... and a really well done movie over all.  Definitely worth a view!

I watched this a couple of weeks ago. I give it a 7/10.

Overall it was a decent Superman movie. I do like David Corenswet as Superman and I think he fits the role better than Henry Canvill. I also liked Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane. I thought the chemistry was believable. I also liked the fact that other characters were already known in this universe. Lex Luthor was fine. I think Michael Rosenbaum from Smallville still has the best take of Lex this century.


However, there were definitely things I didn't like. Not a big fan of a lot of the dialogue. It felt like a Marvel movie in terms of the jokes. It was just too much sometimes. I'm starting to wonder if Gunn is the main reason for how Marvel films are written. The more I think about it, the more I realize there is definitely a tone shift from movies before Guardians of the Galaxy to everything else after. Even though Joss Whedon had a similar writing style in the first Avengers, Gunn might've established it more with his films. Some of it was even predictable, like when

Lois and Mr. Terrific stood in front of the garage door. Immediately knew that it was going to open slow. It was so obvious.


Krypto was cool but I do think they inserted him into too many scenes. Some worked and some definitely didn't. For example,

was not a fan of how he got involved in the final scene with Lex Luthor. Felt way too campy.


There's probably other stuff I can nitpick but I think I'll leave it there for now.
