Ok, I looked it up. Not exactly original, but I’m looking forward to seeing it.

I would listen to John Williams’ original soundtrack on DVD while stargazing in the back yard. A wonderful experience.

John Williams score has been rearranged (kind of like what they did with Mission Impossible) and is in the background constantly along with other original music.

I just watched it and IMO, it’s the best Superman movie since the original Christopher Reeve film.

As far as plot holes, it’s a silver age type of story so there’s lots of silly, fun things sprinkled about.

And Jimmy Olsen has his best story arc ever.

Good stuff for fans.

I’m glad to hear it. Thanks!

Woke or not, I want Hollywood erased. I do not wish for any movie release to do well

They’ll get it. This won’t be Snow White. Conservatives did voice concerns about the movie but way too late to get traction. Snow whote had a huge lead time to get people on board the boycott.

Can’t wait to see it. Thanks.

No.

I just saw it. Very enjoyable.

I’ve don’t like the superhero genre at all but this was fun.

I thought the biggest plot hole is when the rift was opening and no one at the Daily Planet asks “where’s Clark?”

We saw it yesterday. It was ok, but my big beef, I guess, was with the other superheroes. I thought that Metamorpho and Green Lantern were miscast; they weren’t the ones I remember as a kid. Hawk girl- well, where was Hawkman? They were a couple, and they had a sort of airship high In the stratosphere.

And the beginning of the movie bothered me, because Superman was in this big fight and got his butt kicked and it was described to us- it made it feel to me like we were watching a sequel to a movie that was never made.

And I don’t remember Metamorpho using his abilities to turn into alien substances, like kryptonite, since he was a human. At least in the original comic. I had issue #1. I wish I still had it, it’s probably worth a lot of money….
