Superman.
I did hear some great review how this superman is a bit more modernized, more chemistry with Lois, social media, media... well all that were great angles to put it into a movie but when the editing sucks, the movie falls apart.
First Superman which is not mighty powerful, he is tired, he eats, he bleeds, his arms will break... to me. that's a bit werid, but hey, I can look past that.
What I didn't really expect and couldn't look past were Hawkgirl, mr traffic , , Green Lantern (why did they make him look like jim carey in dumb and dumber). I get the whole Metamorpho part, and hey, the rescue scenes, the color, the cgi, the graphic were visually beautiful, just a bit too complex of a story for the general audience.
Let me back track. I did understand Nicholas Hoult playing Lex and he did his best. There were just so many things that fell apart. Multi dimension black hole, robots as servants, Daily planet has an airplane and all just takes a spaceship to publish news onsite (also, no idea why there is a blonde bimbo which was no needed); how super sits at home on a lazyboy chair to recharge... etc.. so so many weird unnecessary scenes, even the easter eggs at end of movie were .... totally useless. Guardians of the Galaxy was the only great script James Gunn did and directed but other than that... this script and directing was realyl weak.
I 100% understand they had to re cast with David Corenswet (they needed a more softer superman that's vulnerable to social media / public pressure of saving a country from war etc... Rachel Brosnahan as Lois was meh. I didn't sense any chemistry from anyone; even the dynamic between the mom and dad with superman was far fetched... I didn't get the emotional pull at all.
Ending was weak; then again, that's normal / typical fast and furious ending... and all of a sudden superman hit turbo, gets super strong and wins... gosh.. LOL.
Given a 2X return, it's a decent movie that's doing well esp with no big titles out. Sad that I can't recommend anyone to watch this and it was disappointment taking my family to go see what a good family movie turning out to be crap.
I'm so glad they aren't making another one... even stupid spins offs ... please don't.
