“It feels like an animated Superman episode. A Justice League unlimited episode. But a lower filler episode.” -Angry Joe

He also said this is a “punk rock” Superman. Whatever that is.

I wouldn’t really take that to heart. There are a few lines about rock bands and the soundtrack had a little bit but he isn’t a “punk rock” Superman

Superman flips what "punk rock" means in the movie.

This is very much Silver Age Superman which is refreshing to see

Angry Joe, who is a Superman fanatic, gave it a 6/10. Basically described it as a mess. Too many characters, which is something a lot of us feared. Weak Lex. But said it’s OK. Go out grab a beer grab some popcorn and have some fun. He did also say they did some major major canon changes, which is very interesting. I wonder what I’m gonna be walking into.

Weak Lex.

That’s insane. Every review I’ve seen is he’s perfect, one of the best DC villains ever

Yeah. Described him as a childish baby. Lol. All three of them did. He has like a little panel.

Are you sure the reviews aren’t talking about Ultraman? Because they did like him.

Yeah it’s the ones referencing Lex specifically. I think he was awesome and that’s the same I’ve seen from all the others

Maybe they’re a little in too deep with lore and had some idea of what they wanted and are disappointed with it? I’m not sure.

When I think of Lex, it’s this guy. Ultraman was awesome too though

sometimes worse.

I remember after TLJ, I posted dozens of "fresh" reviews that were 2/5.

I am hearing a ton of good things on this one, though

I agree with all this. I also dont like the canon change. think Reeve's Batman.

Lex just HATES Superman just to hate him. there wasnt enough room in the movie to actually give him depth and true motivation. The movie couldve been better by removing a lot of the side elements that are just "there."

but it's a fun, true comic book movie.

This sounds like it’s gonna be another polarizing one.

I’ll probably like it. I won’t like it as much as Man of Steel because I already know the action isn’t as good. Superman action is the most important thing to me. But that’s just me personally.

as with most thing Gunn does, the kooky animal character steals the show. Krypto is arguable the best thing in the movie

canon change

Is this the “motivation” thing? I don’t understand that at all, I just continued assuming it was fake.

Lex gives an entire speech on why he hates Superman.

And Lex is far from weak.

I don’t know. I didn’t go into his spoiler segment. He just said there was a major major canon change. That’s all I know. After I see it, I’ll go watch it.

hes an alien and people like him. as far as depth of villains, it's pretty weak. hes a menacing villain and good on screen, but there wasnt room to explore him more which wouldve been nice

Are you sure you watched the movie, because that is far from what Lex said.
