Same. They took a character with an established ethos(?) and tried to turn him into a Doctor Doom or something. Create a new character or something and let Lex be Lex.
It's comic books. Power levels and attachments are all variables for whatever the current writer wants to write. Lack of continuity has always been their Achilles heel. But the character has been around for 100 years, so that's probably inevitable.

It’s also not that serious. It’s a comic book movie. It’s supposed to be fun. That’s it.

I see RL rainbows probably once a week out here. So that's why they call it the Rainbow state. And fags.

Watched this on HBO tonight. Holy black salty balls was this bad. Things I liked:
Mr Terrific.
Krypto.

I was not unhappy with the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel as Lois.

Everything else about the movie is a total shit show. I think one of my biggest issues is James Gunn changing shit thats been around for ever for the sake of changing shit. LuthorCorp? The Kents being 50 IQ simpletons. Lex being a homicidal psychopath. Supergirl is apparently a drunken party girl.

Guy Gardner just came off flat and nowhere near the greatness that was Guy in the comics. They obviously have the potential to write good characters over at DC. Terrific is enjoyable. Dr. Fate was great (of course they kill him because he is White).

I could rant on but, no need.

I don't understand how many of you liked this. This movie was utter trash. Superman was character assassinated.

And it's telling that Guy Gardner was the only thing people really liked. The bar is low.

It was *fun* but I don’t it was good.

Did it entertain me for 2 hours? Yes.

And, tbh, that was enough for me. Action scenes were fun. Writing was pretty bad. I laughed a few times. Overall it was a fun experience, even if it wasn’t a great movie.

14 A! 11B! 84L! 91C! J37!

Yet another superhero movie wherein there are no sacrifices. Nothing is on the line. Nothing lost, nothing gained; no growth. Just some wrecked real estate.

Supes himself had his balls cut off to make him more vulnerable...more appealing to the Soy/Starbucks/Manbun crowd. What did he do in this movie? Work as a Doordasher delivering male lingerie and seasonal fragrances? The end of the movie was him whining about being Superman. His big fight scene was against a huge squeak toy.

He has zero chemistry with Loith Lane. Or anyone else.

Margot Kidder was a crazy tater tot, but at least put something into the role. I include only the 1978 film. She was a lovable ditz, but this new one? I don't even know her name.

Kind of interesting to watch the 1978 film along with this one. The 1978 film wasn't a high point of film making, but vastly better than this effort....buy a long shot. Much better characters. Campy for sure, but they knew it. It is still an entertaining film, and one that I have rewatched over the years. This 2025 film is half one and done.

Hollywood has forgotten story telling, film making. With this latest Superman, they've traded the monomyth for the nonomyth; the man becomes the weakling. Thusly broken from possessing conviction in any form, or morality, he wanders aimlessly doing pointless things.

I bet in his next movie, he become HOAKarenMan and battles LexishLuthur about the status of shrubbery in the city.

It wasn't a Superman movie. It was a Justice Gang movie and Superman was a side character. Superman was Robin to the Justice gang's Batman. Not talking about screen time, just how their competency was displayed. They really did everything they could to shit on his character.
