Another box-office bomb.... as Hollywood still hates its audience.

“this “Superman” has the soul of a sitcom”

This is my shocked face.

Just going by the commercials, it looks like a CGI hellscape .
Not that I care, I don't do superhero movies.

I CAN take a little wokeness. I CAN’T take overstuffed bad writing.

The Acting is great, the story sucks.

Metamorpho was a real DC hero. He is strange, but quite powerful. Luthor should NEVER be made into a corporate head. He is a driven mad scientist. alois knowing Supes’ identity takes all the tension out.

I’m giving this one a chance. I think there’s a lot of agenda out there.

After this Rachel character and Marvelous Ms. Mazel (which was mildly amusing in only the first season) trashed Phyllis Schafly that was the end of my interest in anything about her.

Looks like it got pretty good reviews across the board according to rotten tomatoes. Super hero movies are very repetitive but I always liked Superman so I’ll probably watch this when it’s on streaming

Local Miami Florida media is trying to hype this movie, telling the south Florida audience that critics love it and it is going to be awesome.

Since the kid who directed it just went on a rant about how Americans are mean to immigrants just like Superman, I have decided to NOT see this movie. And I really thought it looked good, based on the previews.

Screw it. DC Studios just Bud Lighted this movie for me.

Making it a Marvel movie wasn’t going to work.

Looks mildly amusing, but the initial claim that it was “woke” - based on Gunn’s wise-ass comment about “immigrants” - is apparently not the case. Reportedly WAY too much CGI though.

“‘Superman’ Review: Man of Steel, Feet of Clay”

This trash doesn’t even compare to Man of Steel.... the best Superman movie evah though Feet of Clay does describe this reboot to a tee.

I remain baffled that there are adults who go to see movies based on comic books.

We are going to see it, but I won’t hold my hopes too high.

METAMORPHO, eh? It will be interesting to see what they do with that character, I’ve been waiting to see if DC would ever bring that character to screen.

I had Metamorpho, the Element Man #1 when I was little. That comic might be worth a lot of money today. I wish I still had it….
