There was nothing of depth or substance to this movie beyond what I'd expect from a CW DC offering..

    Mr Terrific was the only part I found entertaining.
    Agree with all that. Except I think the CW DC offerings…Smallville, Superman and Lois, were way better than this!

    Gonna watch it again with the wife but in French this time since its streaming in French, wife doesnt understand English to well.

    Hoping she likes it beter the second time around since she did not care for it the first time around. I thought it was entertaining.

    My wife liked that the movie portrayed the Middle East war as it really is. That is it !

    On that we agree, but I think Lois' point was not to make matters worse by intervening and causing an interantional crisis. It's not black and white, even though Superman is so pure, he kind of sees it that way. I liked that.

    You guys are entiled to your opinion, but I disagree completely. Why wouldn't Lois, a JOURNALIST drill him about such things? It made perfect sense for the character in my view.

    Did like the nods and easter eggs, and that’s about it.
    Yeah, I watched a few minutes of it and couldn't stand it. Had to stop. I didn't like the way Lois grilled him about doing stuff internationally. Thought that was stupid. Not my kind of story.

    Rewatched it since its streaming now on Max and have to say I enjoyed it even more the 2nd time. It really is a great comicbook movie. For me, its very much the best superman movie since '78 and somewhere in my personal top 10 comicbook superhero movies.

    We went to see it last Friday night and then once again yesterday (along with Fantastic Four). We really liked the way Corenswet portrayed the character, very solid & earnest performance. Hoult's come a long way since I first saw him in X-Men: First Class, very strong performance as a young brattish Luthor. I saw shades of Kidder & Hatcher in Brosnahan's portrayal, but she also brought something of her own to this version of Lois. Gisondo's Jimmy was my least favorite of the classic foursome, I have a hard time buying into him as written. He was great in Santa Clarita Diet, maybe if he was written as more of an incidental charmer than an irresistible head turner, it might have worked better. There were some other aspects of the film that just didn't work for me, but it was easier to "overlook" most of those on the second viewing. Overall though, it was a fun experience and definitely worth the repeat viewing.
