Saw an early screening of Superman and…yeah. This thing is fine. Just fine. 5/10 kind of fine. Not worth hating, not worth hyping. Let me break it down. The good. Superman looks like Superman. Suit’s solid, clean visuals, decent cinematography. Definitely feels like a step up from the cheap green screen soap opera look superhero flicks keep slipping into. The action is well-shot. Not overcut garbage, you can actually follow the fights. There’s one big third-act brawl that had the crowd going “oooh” a few times. Luthor (no spoilers, calm down) is played with some restraint, which I appreciated. Didn’t turn into a cartoon villain, which would’ve killed the tone. The score slaps in parts. No Zimmer bombast, but it fits the character. The meh. The pacing is weird. First 40 minutes kinda drag, then it rushes through plot beats like it's trying to catch a bus. Felt like they tried to cram too much setup into not enough time. Clark Kent is fine, but the character writing has zero edge. It’s very sanitized and safe. No real inner conflict, no strong arc. Just kind of...there. Dialogue ranges from decent to corny. At least three moments made me audibly go “ugh” and I wasn’t alone. The BAD. This movie has NO personality. It plays like a Superman movie that was written by a committee trying to please Twitter, execs, and 12-year-olds all at once. The emotional moments feel forced as hell. They try to go for gravitas but didn’t earn it. You can’t shove 3 minutes of flashbacks in and expect me to care. PG-13 rating really neutered a few scenes. You feel them holding back hard. It’s like watching a boxer throw punches underwater. Overall? It’s not embarrassing. It’s just completely forgettable. You’ll watch it, shrug, and probably never think about it again. If they’re using this as a launchpad for a new DCU, they better have stronger stuff down the line. This ain’t gonna win anyone over by itself.
>>211808461 (OP)So basically retard normies will consider it goated and then forget about it in three days got it
>early screening review
>vague impressions that could've been guessed from the trailer and promotional material already out
literally every time
>>211808461 (OP)Would you consider it better or worse than the Flash movie?
What's up with villains like Ultraman? What's up with Krypto and Supergirl?
>>211808461 (OP)>"The pacing is weird. First 40 minutes kinda drag, then it rushes through plot beats like it's trying to catch a bus."Sounds like a Gunn movie alright, both his Suicide Squad and Guardians 3 had shitty pacing aswell.
>>211808461 (OP)Im sorry but you make Lex gay in a movie and I don't watch, simple as
>>211808461 (OP)Jurassic would rebirth doesn’t have a final battle, please tell me does this Superman at least have a final battle with the giant eyeball from the trailers. All that’s left is for the fantastic four movie to not have a final battle with galactus. What the FUCK is going on? People forgetting you’re supposed to have a cool badass fight for the audience at the end.
>>211808461 (OP)>Do anything to stop anyone from going to watch this movie Snyderfags are getting scared
>>211808461 (OP)The problem with DC and Marvel is the suits, they should never have the power they have, who should command DC should be guys like Brad Bird, Gunn is mediocre, he doesn't know comics books, he always wants to leave his cringe style and never pleases the male audience, everything he does has that air of being made for the LGBT audience, DC is dead the day they hire James Gunn
>5/10
>"fine"
5/10 is garbage brah
>>211808461 (OP)>Suit’s solid, clean visuals, decent cinematography. Definitely feels like a step up from the cheap green screen soap opera look superhero flicks keep slipping intoC'mon, why lie. Yes Snyderverse was shit but this is not looking any better.
>>211808461 (OP)>5/10 kind of fine5/10 is not fine, 7/10 is. 5/10 is "a few good ideas that go nowhere, a waste of time unless you love the characters, but still a letdown".
Asians love walls of text don't they
>>211808461 (OP)>Suit’s solid,stopped reading right there
>>211808614This. OP is a faggot and a liar, give us some spoiler to proove you really saw the movie, like what is going with Ultraman and Engineer, do they mention The Authority?
>The BAD. A ton of shit that I poorly elaborate on that doesn't make any sense
Man you fucking killed it dude, Snydersaars are really doing some good work bros
Batman is their only real seller.
Why dont they leverage him more?
>>211808461 (OP)>Suit’s solid, clean visuals, decent cinematography.How can we trust your opinion when the suit sucks, the visuals are awful, and the cinematography is terrible?
>>211808895Superman's final battle is really interesting. He's struggling with a really bad case of phimosis (which is crazy because he's a jew). He ends up winning this battle by leaking all over his super suit.
>>211808461 (OP)So does he actually have his own Superman theme or is just a rehash of Reeve's?
>>211808895>giant eyeball from the trailerswtf are you talking about
>>211812670A Superman needs to deserve the John Williams theme. They can't just apply it because they bought the property and auteur-crapped all over the concept.
They had to edit out the scene where Superman caught 3 missiles and stopped a war from escalating because it's too unrealistic.
>>211812710The first thing they ever put out for this film was him sitting on a bed, putting on his boots and in the background outside the window in the distance is a giant eyeball creature shooting a laser at a building
>>211812916that's gonna be a background thing for the justice league to fight while Superman talks to Lois
>>211812916You can see that this scene is just Superman having a long ass heart to heart talk with Lois while the giant eye-ball, which is named Solaris, is wrecking the city in the background and actively being stopped by Green Lantern and the other heroes, the so called "Justice Gang".
>>211812979So he doesn't even fight it. Weak
>>211813019The other thing is that the "Justice Gang" isn't even edgy or anything like that, as a lot of fans hoped to be the case. In fact Superman is the one treated as the "problematic" figure in the movie. The other heroes, the "Justice Gang", are corporate heroes that follow the rules whereas Superman is the one that crossed borders and created a messy situation - orchestrated by Lex Luthor -, which leads to his arrest.
>>211813019the main fight scene will be against Ultraman, an evil clone of Superman made by Lex
also Lex will be in his armor suit at some point
>>211808461 (OP)>It’s not embarrassing. It’s just completely forgettable. You’ll watch it, shrug, and probably never think about it again.That's why it'll make a billion. Audiences will eat this generic slop up.
>>211813109>the main fight scene will be against Ultraman, an evil clone of Superman made by some toymaker>also Lex will be in his armor suit at some pointare you getting the picture?

>>211813109>the main fight scene will be against Ultraman, an evil clone of Superman made by some toymakerftfy
>also Lex will be in his armor suit at some pointare you getting the picture?
>>211813127> That's why it'll make a billion. Audiences will eat this generic slop up.Keep dreaming Gunnjeet. Mid Superhero films don't make a billion dollars anymore only event superhero movies do. Superman will flop just like Thunderbolts which was another Mid movie. If Superman has a rotten tomatoes score its flopping hard.
>>211813109So what’s with the giant eyeball then? Why show that in the trailers?
>>211808461 (OP)They're better off doing minimal marketing in the lead up and just dropping the movie on us with little warning.
Having 2 teaser trailers, 6 trailers, sneak peak trailers.... and then being slaves to social media and adjusting your product just fucks it all up.
It only makes me determined NOT to see it in theatres and just wait for the torrent. Big Gunn Failure.
