Only question I have is during the final battle

is Sue Storm really that strong or did they make Galactus p*ssy in the end?

they definitely nerfed Galactus, but Sue is strong enough to push a giant with her force fields. She is bar none that strongest member of F4

Meh. The score was good and the space chase scenes were thrilling. Everything else was boring. Sorry comic nerds. Galactus was lame to me. Like wonder woman villain boring.

Superman had 20 different things going on which made the story too messy. Some things could've been scrapped to tighten up the story. The humor was too much and the stakes weren't there.

F4 kept things contained to what was important. The movie flowed better. Visually it was superior. The stakes were higher. It could've used 10 more minutes to devote to more action.

As a popcorn movie Superman was fun. It had plenty of action.

F4 was superior in storytelling and the tone was far more serious.

It all comes down to which you prefer but I always lean to story. I was immersed into F4's world the entire time whereas in Superman I kept checking out mentally when something silly happened.

Only advantage Superman has is the excitement for a new universe. F4 has the burden of carrying the baggage of the MCU. I'm tired of the universe thing and wish we'd get some standalone films so they can get creative. The Miles movies are still the best thing going by far.

This is really it. I gave them both 3.5s because they have some crazy highs but enough messy moments that hold them back from being greater films. They’re fun and I want more of them though, so mission accomplished there.

Gunn having the balls to pull off a 12 minute interview in a CBM is up there for me, while Shakman had me feeling like I was flipping through the comic panels again with his space sequences. For a min, it felt like I was watching Star Wars. Bro restored some highs that the franchise hasn’t been able to muster up in years, theatrically. Kinda embarrassing for Lucasfilm honestly, but that’s another topic.

Credits rolling. I really enjoyed it. Don’t say this often but I wish the movie had a longer run time.

The movies sub title makes more sense now :heh:

No, I wanted t a longer run time too. Not too long but I felt they could have did some more worldbuilding early on. I didn't have many complaints about the movie other than that.

I did think it would lead directly into 'Doomsday'

and it really didn't... so what's up with that?

Only thing i liked about these movies was their depiction of silver surfer. It was like the most comic accurate thing they managed to do between them.
