The fact that there are actually people who think Superman was born in Iowa speaks to so many of the ills plaguing society and culture.

The fact grown men are excited about a Superman comic movie speaks volumes of the problems grown ass men face today. Low T Beta's.
God damn man the nerve on guys to be excited about something you don’t like. My son is a huge Superman fan so that means I’m excited for it and to go see it with him. Must mean I’m a low T beta, different strokes brother

I may be wrong but I think he was being sarcastic.

We thought Superman was a good show. I like the treatment of Superman as more of an earnest do-gooder, and they did that here. Both Hoult as Luthor and Corensweat as Big Blue did a really good job. It got a little JAMES GUNN in a few spots, and I thought they made the Kents a little too slack-jawed (like a city boy's version of a country boy), but they were still fine.

FBolt might be better off re-watching the Barbie movie, but we enjoyed it.


eta: Also, from the very 1st time Superman was in a comic book, Action Comics #1, this is how he was described:

This version of Supes is more like that origin. Which is pretty great.

Son took me, not my generation’s Superman. If you go in appreciating this isn’t meant for the previous generation you’ll find a movie that entertains. And as someone that hates preachy movies, for all the talk, this wasn’t the case.

I loved how the rural Kent’s pretty much made everyone else look like complete shit bags. Even with their 8th grade farm family education. Clearly making the point Superman is who he is because of them and the rural upbringing he had.

Superman was awesome. Vastly superior to MoS. It was bright, hopeful, and FUN!

Snyder's dour dark "realistic" bullshit poisoned the DC universe for years. So glad Gunn is in charge now. This is a comic book movie that feels like a comic book movie.

Corenswet, Hoult, and Brosnehan are all perfectly cast. Corenswet and Brosenhan have awesome chemistry. Fillion's Guy Gardner stole the show for me in his few scenes. He played the arrogant douche perfectly. Milly Alcock is going to kill it as Supergirl too. Love the direction they're going with her and not just making her Superman Jr.

I was hoping it would be a more serious movie, like Batman 2022. Not sure how this Superman and that Batman are supposed to exist in same universe. Is that the goal? Totally different vibes

I thought when Gunn took over, he cancelled the Batman movies and is probably going to make a campy style version.

Guardians of the Galaxy version of Batman. Expect a dance off with the Joker.

Nothing like a good superhero dance off. Can't be beat!

I guess this is called "being true to the original comics". Its either this or the Graphic Novel style i guess.

curious from folks who watched Superman did they get the Israel analogy that so many Zionists seem triggered by
I would argue it's more Russia v Ukraine than it is Israel/Palestine.

I haven't seen this Superman movie yet but I think it's funny that people are so eager to insult it that everyone is retroactively trying to pretend that the Guardians of the Galaxy were bad movies that people disliked.

I don’t follow it closely, but remember reading when Gunn took over that the latest Batman movie didn’t take place in his universe and would likely be cancelled. The Robert Pattinson trilogy.

GOTG was really good.
Part two was awesome.
Part three felt a little stale and repetitive. Superman is part four and felt like watching the same thing again.

I could be wrong, but it’s been three and a half years and part two isn’t even in pre-production yet. Seems like it was killed.

Gunn didn't kill anything. WB is waiting for Reeves to finish his script, which he's been dragging his feet over. Release date for #2 is 10/1/2027 because he keeps pushing it off. Reeves and Pattinson are the reason that Batman isn't part of Gunn's universe.

Going to see F1 tomorrow. As for CB movies I could go my entire life without seeing another and be just fine, never been my genre and their dominance in cinema is probably the biggest reason I don’t watch many new movies anymore, just me. I am hopeful for F1 tho,… we shall see

I haven’t seen super man yet but I heard it has a preview before it for the Christopher Nolan movie. How’s that look?
