It wants so badly to be viewed "like" the comics or cartoons but at the end of the day, it is not. It's overpaid degenerate Hollywood actors playing pretend in cosplay. There's a reason superhero movies did their own thing for so long because they realized the cinematic medium is inherently limiting so they took the base of the stories and characters and adapted them in a way that fit (hence the black suits in the first X-Men, among other examples) but this and Deadpool and Wolverine just prove why they were right the whole time to go their own way. It just doesn't work. It's embarrassing and awkward and only works for the momentary novelty of going "OHHHH THAT ACTOR WORE THAT SUIT WOWWWW" and then realizing he looks fucking stupid. Same thing with this movie but in every aspect. The same film but animated would've landed amazingly, it would've only taken a tenth of the budget you paid for the actors to play pretend to make an amazing animated movie out of this. Comics and cartoons are the only "real" mediums for DC along with video games. Movies can never compare and the more they try to be like the cartoons and comics (which they can never) the more apparent this becomes. I thought it was MEH, despised what they did with Jor-El but other than that, I was mildly amused and then forgot most of it by the end of the day.
I appreciate the gesture, but cinema is cinema and cartoons/comics are cartoon/comics. Let's respect the mediums and not devalue them by trying to make them all into a hodgepodge.
