Well... it was certainly a movie. Unfortunatly it wasn't a very good one, but not a bad one. It felt half baked at best with most of the ideas that were attempted to be expressed. There was a lot going on in that movie, and nothing we haven't seen before in different iterations, that were done better. I will say this though, will full confidence and complete ignorance(because I haven't watched them), this movie is a better interpretation that Snyderman. I like the concept of this Superman more than the execution, his no killing mentality is a nice change of pace but can seem a bit juvenile and unnuanced at times, but I like it more than a Killing Superman. Something that this movie did really well at times was the comedy, the jokes were actually funny when they were meant to be and I feel like that is a weak point for a lot of other superhero movies (cough cough... marvel).
The biggest gripe I had with this movie is that there was so much going on and it felt a little unbalanced and unfocused. I feel like if the amount of pieces on the board was cut down the movie would be much more cohesive. Also I DID NOT LIKE THE PRISON SCENE, the very specific character relevant scene in the prison that I won't spoil cause iykyk.
That being said... I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS NEW UNIVERSE AND ITS SEQUALS AND CROSSOVER'S WITH THE BATMAN(2022)!!!
