Superman doesn’t skimp on the high-flying action, to a fault; the film is so awash in over-the-top CGI insanity that its slam-bang mayhem loses its punch. Not helping matters, the charming Corenswet looks the part but, in the shadow ofChristopher Reeve andHenry Cavill, he comes across as relatively slight—a situation exacerbated by the all-over-the-place nature of his saga.

Superman doesn’t establish its scenario so much as it situates viewers in media res and then asks them to hold on for dear life as it whiplashes about from one out-of-this-world locale and incident to another. While verve isn’t in short supply, substantiality is; by not first building a foundation for its fantasy, the film feels as if it’s operating in a comic-book sandbox devoid of any (literal or figurative) gravity.

DC Comics die-hards may delight in Superman’s endless geekiness but everyone else is apt to feel adrift or, at least, along for a frenetic, flimsy ride that only feigns interest in actual emotion. Superman and Lois’ relationship gets about as much attention as do sequences in which the Daily Planet reporter flies a spaceship. And interjected into the middle of colorful chaos and madness, a trip back to Smallville to visit Ma (Neva Howell) and Pa Kent (Pruitt Taylor Vince) is too sketchy to generate aww-shucks pathos.

Unfortunately, the proceedings aren’t better when it comes to humor; though Gunn continues to be adept at balancing multi-character concerns, his script—unlike his superiorGuardians of the Galaxy trilogyand2021’s The Suicide Squad—delivers scant amusing one-liners or gags, save for cute Krypto’s habit of excitably wrestling and licking Superman at the least opportune moments.
Looking ahead rather than focusing on the here and now, this attempt at reimagining DC’s movie series ultimately proves to be more of the same old interconnected-universe bedlam that, at this point, is perilously close to going out of fashion.

>>149263792 (OP)
They still have Batman tho...
They can also explore other characters and teams that are not usually associated with mainstream DC. They could make a sequel to Constantine, try Jonah Hex again, or do Swamp Thing or Madame Xanadu etc. They should consider making a TV series about The Question. Just don't let Gunn, Muschietti, or Snyder anywhere near these projects.

So this guy is the new Armond White?

For anyone who doesn’t wanna read:
Lex actually good

Lois noncharacter
Jimmy unfunny quirk chungus
Too many pointless sidecast distracting the story just to be there (Guy, Terrific, Baby Yoda)
Story about Superman himself is weak
Ultraman/Monkeys plot confirmed
Overall constant flash but little story/emotion

I feel like Bruce Timm knew Superman`s character more than anyone because Bruce Timm himself found it hard to make The Adventures of Superman.

>>149263792 (OP)
TLDR;
The new Superman is a clusterfuck that's incomprehensible to regular viewers who don't religiously follow 80 years of Superman lore.
So something that we all knew was going to happen. It's cute that Gunn is nerding out, but dude, chill out a bit.

That's /co/ in a nutshell.

>>149265037
It's from the same critic who loved GotG and TSS though. He's a huge Gunn fan. Or at least was, until now. That's a sign.

Even if it's bad, like, Snyderverse-level bad, we still got 2 great genre-defining Superman movies already, and we don't really need more than that.

>>149263895

Imagine having your tongue so far up Gunn's ass that you can't conceive of the movie being bad.

>>149265548
What is there to conceive if no one in /co/ has even watched it yet? Not everyone has their opinions formed by weirdos on the internet trying to get their five minutes of fame by being a contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian.

Is this supposed to sound bad

>>149263792 (OP)
So if this Superman movie fails will it kill Warner?

Keep in mind Warner is also doing that expensive new Homosexual Race Swapped Harry Potter series adaptation that's a LONG term project that is dead on arrival. Seriously trying to in-universe include Gay Dumbledore when the reason he was a liked character in the live action movies is because he was NOT gay. And then you have race swapped Hermione and Snape, this is going to be a gross failure for Warner Bros.

Will they die soon? Because I don't see them having money to make their new Wonder Woman movie.

>>149263895
>They still have Batman tho...

Batman's last movie was not that successful. It didn't reach a billion and Batman is THE most successful and popular super hero ever. Batman is not as reliable as you think. Its possible that Batman can fail for Warner.

And I would argue that a big reason for Batman floundering is because Batman's extended material like the Bat Family wouldn't go well with normies and normies don't care about Non Joker villains.

>>149264102
About time, Fantastic Four failing will help with that. But then again Fantastic Four has always been shoddy at the box office. The real test is the next Avengers failing since Avengers Endgame was the last titanic success.

>>149266159
if you're selling something to adults yeah

>>149266193
no

>>149265916
Good. Fuck normies and snyderjeets

>>149264286
>Lois noncharacter

That's an improvement because Lois has always been an annoying bitch in Superman media. The franchise would be better if they got rid of her. Se's always been mostly a bitch to Clark and doesn't deserve him.

>>149263792 (OP)
I genuinely wonder, is every /co/mrade that was on the site 10+ years ago gone now? I know this has always been a super contrarian board but the staggering amount of Snyderfags coming in here all of a sudden to jerk off their dead universe is actually mind blowing. I was there for the countless man of murder threads, the Red Son story time, the BvS and Justice League hate threads. Even ZSJL was ridiculed here when it came out. What happened?

>>149265346
>Time to sell to.disney

They don't need to. Superman will enter the public domain in less than twenty years. Disney needs to wait it out and they can make their own Superman film. That's a big reason these properties are struggling they are OLD. So audiences are bored of them.

>>149266225

Yes, it will. WBD is already a dead man walking, they can't afford yet another miss, if Superman bombs, they'll have to start selling all their IPs, including DC, to its rivals.

>>149266307
no, it's just a terrible new movie

>>149266377
>JP flops

Really hoping this one fails. I hate Scarlet Johansson that bitch has NEVER been attractive. And she has the charisma of sewage. That and the franchise is blatantly badly written trash.

Of the long running franchises I think the only one that doesn't make me angry is Planet of the Apes since you can feel some effort in the new movies.

>>149266433
And this is where the Sony buys DC rumor started. Hoping that it doesn't happen but the main problem is all the people buying franchises are woke freaks shows.

Did you see how Amazon bought James Bond and said they want to make James Bond African? Disgusting. And Amazon already damaged Lord of the Rings.

Its always these shit heads with money who will ruin everything who buys established famous franchises.

>>149264229
Pretty much

>>149266469
>And this is where the Sony buys DC rumor started. Hoping that it doesn't happen but the main problem is all the people buying franchises are woke freaks shows.
Unironically, DC would be better off under Sony than under WB. As bad as Sony is now, it is still far superior to any of its competitors and much less woke.

The first solo batman movie in a decade - it should have been the 2nd or 3rd highest box office of the year. Instead it was the 7th, only managing to beat out the shitty Thor movie by a measly $10M. Top Gun's combined budget was $50M LESS and it made three quarters of a billion dollars MORE.

>>149266509
Lmao no

>>149266377
>>MI8 flops
I really enjoyed that movie, but I have no clue what they were thinking making the budget that high. Dead Reckoning at least had massive covid troubles to explain it's budget, but Final Reckoning had very little reason. And those movies never made more than 700 million, so it's just bizarre. My only guess is that those 2 movies were blank checks simply for being Tom Cruise and making Top Gun Maverick.

Pretty based for a modern Superman comic
Ive been out of the loop since late 00s since modern Supermn is designed either for political pandering or its readers masturbating over "getting it", like the "intelectual" Allstar Superman, without actully getting entertained or re-reading it while bragging about having read it

>>149265627
What the fuck are you doing here then, you absolute imbecile?

Im not boycotting it cause of the trailer, I didnt even watch it, Im boycotting it cause Gunn soft rebooted and cancelled continuity and build up so he could do his vanity project
Its OK if you hated the snyderverse, but shouldnt you complain about DCEU not getting rebooted as a whole then, or what is it that get you more excited about the toilet humor build up of The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker than the build up with Darkseid?
To much time having passed is not an argument cause its still a soft reboot, its DCEU but without the material Gunn wasnt involved in, John Cena is older than Cavill as are some of the actors showing up in Superman

>>149265916
>The movie lacks emotional depth and feels superficial and silly, much like the criticized versions of Justice League.

Justice League wasn't silly, it was a convoluted mess trying too hard to look cool, that's why it came off superficial.

>Saturday morning cartoon come to overstuffed, helter-skelter life. Superman himself is reimagined as a laid-back, well-meaning optimist who says “dude” and saves squirrels, rather than a Christ-like figure.

>>149267075
>>149267127
He's Superman. He can figure things out to the last molecule. I'm sure he would see or hear if anyone was in danger of that explosion. The problem Snyderfags don't get is the whole movie is self indulgent with shit like this. I can buy that he didn't endanger anyone with slapping Zod around. Superman being angry or fucking up is fine, the problem is he never had a fucking win in the DCEU. You're supposed to come out of a Superman movie feeling that the movie was already good, not that sequels will redeem it. He has no dialogue and barely acts in the movie.

>>149266377
