Complete garbagge. James Gunn is a faggot and should fuck off back to his tier G(arbagge) DC superheroes. Everything has to be a fucking joke, so why not make a movie about Superman where anyone and everyone shits on him/Clark all the time.
Fucking Lex Luthor giving *verbal* commands to operators how to *manually* control a robot can be done faster than a superhuman with superspeed can react to defend himself or attack? Get the fuck out.
10min of retarded "interview" with Lois, is any of that supposed to be funny? Dunno, I'm not from Gunn family.
Then a Kaiju (ain't it cuuuuuute) just spaws in the middle of Metropolis, new quest available!! Kindergarden shit all around, stupid low int jokes over and over, and also lets copypasta them. The only thing that's missing is a new pop song every 5min.
And then this social media and internet thing, in a fucking Superman movie. Get the fuck out.
45min in and I won't bother watching the rest.

Probably in their own cities. They had a whole scene basically showing why all superheroes just don't show up for everything.

In the movie, it was revealed towards the end that Ultraman is a clone from Superman's DNA

Decent quality cam is out and its about all this deserves. if you are a huge DC fan maybe waste the bandwidth to download it, I wouldn't recommend spending $ to see this drivel.
This is basically the love child between the Flash movie and Black Adam, frenetic as shit, sloppy story telling, has extremely similar storyline/pacing/beats as Flash/Black Adam, about the same quality as far as plot, side characters, pacing, story etc. Of course it can't have any serious moments it has to have that Gunn humor mixed in to dilute any emotional beats and disconnect the viewer from the story. Nobody in this film is as good of an actor as Michael Keaton or Pierce Brosnan but the acting as a whole isn't terrible. I'd say they all did the best with what they had to work with. Hell, didn't even mind Bald beast doing his Jesse Eisenberg impression as Lex Luthor, wasn't the worse part of the film.
Definitely feels like it's the middle, shitty movie in a trilogy, not the introduction to the new DCU. Like this is Age of Ultron but no solo build up films and no avengers 1 to buy any good will.
Superman is a supercuck the entire movie both as clark and as supes and the dog is a fucking mcguffin that solves every single problem and wins every fight. literally could of called this Krypto the foul mannered asshole wonderdog and his side kick, superman.
just the story was stupid as fuck and had so many plot holes and glaring contradictions. I'll spoiler this part just in case some cry baby DC fanbois get mad, but honestly it doesn't deserve not to be spoiled.
I'd give this a 3/10, not the worst film ever made, but definitely not good. About on par with the Flash, slightly worse than Black Adam.
As far as "woke" content. it's not directly in your face with anything, it's definitely towing the line in the face of recent anti-woke backlash. All the bad guys are white europeans and all the good guys are various shades of brown, you best believe that, but there's no "you got to do better" callouts or anything.

His parents send him to earth to enslave humanity and turn all the women into concubines? Ok so then how the fuck does his counsin supergirl fit in? like what?
Lex Luthor's plan is retarded as shit, he kidnaps element man (?) or whatever his name's son, who can make as much kryptonite as needed. but instead of just making a bunch of kryptonite weapons and having engineer girl just merc superman he uses element man to be his jailer in the pocket dimension? right next to the cell with his son/only leverage?
he has a team of gamers using voice commands call out combo moves for their remote controlled superman clone? Like wtf, god this was awful.
He has monkeys on typewriters posting clickbait rage content on twitter to get the public to turn against Superman, but then lex actually discovers that actually, he really was sent to earth by his parents to enslave the planet. Had it double triple verified by every linguist and super computer on earth. Super serial you guys, he really is here to enslave us. Ok the whole world hates superman. and then........evil white army is invading poor brown muslim/mexican stand in country and suddenly, Green lantern and his retards show up to save the day so now everyone forgets that superman was sent here to enslave everyone and they all love superman again....wait why? because he didn't show up to save the poor browns even though the little kid raised the hand made superman flag in hopes that he would come to save the day? like wtf some shitty fucking writing/editing here.

Honestly, this was pretty much what I expected: Gunn trying to GotG again, except launching an entire cinematic universe in one movie this time*.
The overstuffed, overhurried results are mostly fine (7/10), and unsurprisingly, only the handful of characters I expected left any real impression (Supes / Krypto / Guy / Terrific).
That said, I literally can't believe that Gunn's major addition to this Cinematic Universe... is to fold in the evil Superman content from other comics. Black Noir / Ultraman is the biggest head-scratcher. This version of Supes is established from the get-go as not nearly as impervious as other Supes, so there's no no need to play the "He's so powerful the only person who can defeat him is.. himself!" card at all, much less this early. Unless, as others have said, this is the very roundabout origin story for this version of Bizarro, and Bizarro is critical to the road map down the road?!?
Edit: RLM watching it immediately isn't a surprise, Jay is gay for Gunn.
*A fun drinking game is to map these characters back to GotG:
Engineer is obviously Nebula, who will face turn down the road.
Krypto is the fuzziness of Rocket with the non-verbal / not exactly humanoid form of Groot.
Terrific is the far too competent for this crew Gamora with Rocket's tech acumen.
Guy.. isn't quite as clueless as Drax, I have to admit.

its 2025 and we are still introducing beloved characters, "in name only" and character assassinating them so they can't be used again.
why?
Ultraman is a major character. Earth 3 shit is prime for being used in the movies.
Making him Bizarro is retarded.
The Engineer is a great character in her own right as well. Sure, doesn't really belong in DC proper. but again. don't use her. just have that be Robot Mercy Graves. why would you make Angie unusable now?

Great movie, not a marvelous piece of art but enjoyable as a comic book film
far better than Snyders interpretation of the character.
I left the theatre feeling positive and uplifted, not wanting to slit my wrists
everything was an improvement with the award for most improved easily going to Lex Luthor

of the many, many plot holes, so many I lost count, the one that's bugging me right now is the lack of sokovia accords/DOD contract/etc.
Like they were too busy to bother explaining anything so just some intro text states that metahumans have been around for 30 years, they are just part and parcel of this world, no need to develop any backstory here.
In fact metahumans are so ingrained into society that there are several teams which are funded by/sponsored by mega-corporations, including the justice gang (green lantern and friends) and lex's team, so forgettable i forgot what they are called.
Superman himself has been out and active for 3 years.
yet at no point ever has anyone ever pondered the question of integrating them within DOD/chain of command or establishing their diplomatic position or anything. 30 years of metahumans doing whatever the fuck they want but not once have their ever accidently did anything across borders anywhere...They never had their Sokovia accords moment, or corporate types trying to integrate them into DOD like the boys for that sweet sweet MIC money?
superman is boyscout mr america but they've never even considered what they should do if he ever sticks his nose in to international politics or accidently crosses a border while zipping around the planet saving people.
We had not-israel, a staunch ally, perhaps even our greatest ally, being given billions in military equipment for free by lexcorp, and they were invading not-gaza a bunch of poor retarded browns, and superman stepped in and stopped the invasion.
we never considered that an american godlike entity might act like america and butt in in places he doesn't belong and enforce his will? only the US government and our allies can do that?

This post is 100% spot on. The movie was a mess.
The thing with his Kryptonian parents STILL nags me - where the fuck did that go and its just being left like that?

Im guessing the implication was
the restored footage WAS real and in this reality, Kal El’s parents wanted him to rule over Earth as Krypton’s legacy.
but, it’s him being raised by good, human parents that made him Superman, hence the ending where he watches his old family films

I'd give it a solid 7. I'm not a big comic book nerd, especially DC, so I don't have much of a background there. I thought the movie was fine, but it did feel like I walked into a sequel after missing the original movie. I thought the movie started off pretty slow too, but it got better as it went. A lot of fighting, a lot of action, very much a summer action popcorn flick. Plot was pretty wild, but if you can turn your brain off and take it at face value, was enjoyable enough. I didn't get any political vibes or girl power vibes, just a message to try your best and nobody is perfect. Personally, I enjoyed the dog scenes. I also pretty much liked every single actor/actress. The Hawk Girl screams were annoying, but that's about it. Needed more Green Lantern as well.

They needed to have the public have a reason for why they could possibly side with Lex over Superman.
Except with Ultraman, you have Black Noir right there, just show him blowing up not-Israel forces ("We can't trust Superman to stand with US policy!") and explain the footage as AI to keep the Ultraman 'reveal' intact. Then again, that's pretty much what happened in BvS.
I personally don't hate Superman's parents / race having ulterior motives, but duplicating Invincible is the laziest way to do it.

no need to guess, that is exactly what it was. I'm guessing his problem is
where the fuck did that even come from, though? And they sent his cousin, a female kryptonian, to earth to protect him. it seemed they were super concerned about continuing the kryptonian bloodline but they held out hope that his genetics would be more "pure" than human so they would be more dominant/present than weak human traits....sort of like the whole viltrumite shtick from invincible.
so then why not just have him fuck his cousin and make a bunch of kryptonians? Even slightly retarded first cousin offspring would be better than 50% human offspring. Eventually yeah his dozens of pure blood kryptonian children would need to start their own harems of enslaved human women but they would also want to as the generations went continue to intermingle with their own pure kryptonian cousins/nieces/nephews, enough to keep the kryptonian features, avoiding being inbred so much that they become sterile.
it's like yeah, lets go back to a nice positive boyscout superman, no more of this realistic grimdark shit! but then lets throw in a eugenics program, armies of sex slave breeders, and nazi-esque kryptonian parents.

I really mostly know hawk girl from the shows/animated movies and her attack comes off annoying. Is her interpretation that much worse?
