re: 'Superman' Megathread: Spoilers Allowed! DC News. Releases on Digital on August 15.

I just got out of seeing it, I would give it a 6.5/10. Krypto was the best part of the movie.

Asia is completely done with superheroes it seems

Saw it today, I'd give it a 6.5-7/10

Good:
- Superman himself brought back memories of Christopher Reeve, where he showed a human side.
- Krypto, I wasn't sure how I would feel about this, but I loved it
- Story, I actually enjoyed that they didn't make it an origin story
- The side characters were great. Previously, I didn't really care for Nathan Fillion's character, but I found him better than I expected

Bad:
- They made Clark's parents simple-minded people, or that way
- Does everyone know Clark is Superman?
- Luthor, I actually liked him until his ending monologue about being envious. Had his speech been about an alien coming to Earth and people worshipping him like a God without him admitting he was envious, it would have been better.
- I felt the guy who played Superman and the girl who played Lois had no chemistry.

However, his entire speech admitting it has made him look weak. Although everyone knows he wants to be worshipped like a God, Luthor doesn't admit it.



Clark and Lois go on a date
Neither seems to act like it at work, but people know she is seeing someone
Perry and Jimmy know Superman and Lois are making out/hooking up

Also clearly made to look like American troops invading a poor middle eastern country.

Yeah, that's not what it clearly was.

Yea, dude is projecting a bit.

So the rumors are actually true, James Gunn made Jor El into a freaking Earth conquering alien? frick James Gunn, and frick this movie. I’m out.

So damn tired of seeing these directors think they can retcon established lore just because it gets them aroused in their naughty bits.

Its obvious that Gunn has a certain view of parents. These parents are regular people. Like a silly aunt you might have and a fat uncle. Theyre every day people. Annoying parents.

I really liked Lex until the ending speech, which I thought changed the character. The implication that he wants to be a God is known. He admitted that not only Superman but everyone who was there (I guess to make him look vulnerable) just made him weak. I would have loved a speech just stating this was to rid humanity of an alien that they worship, with him stating he isn't human and metahumans need to go.
