This is a bizarre ranking. Really bizarre.
:yeshrug: I could put the Donner Cut over Returns some days,it hits higher highs but also lower lows for me than most of those movies in the middle.

If I were to grade them, Superman is a 10/10, II: Donner Cut is like an 8/10 for me. The others I mentioned are in between.

I said when the trailers were released I was worried the movie looked too cartoonish. Now that I've seen it it was exactly that and then some:snoop:

Likes:
Mr. Terrific probably had the best action scene in the movie and he was cool. He had a decent amount of screen time.

Good casting for Superman.

No lie I'm struggling to think about something else I clearly liked. I might edit if I think of something.

Things that were just okay:
Guy wasn't as funny as I was expecting. He didn't really do anything cool with his powers which was a letdown since I like the lanterns.

Hawkgirl was just there. She didn't get to do much.

I'm undecided on Lois. Didn't feel strongly about her good or bad.

Dislikes:
Lex was over the top cartoonish and annoying. Jesse was horribly miscast and goofy. The casting may be better this time but I hate how he was written and he's possibly goofier. I don't want to get into details this soon but there's some things he does that are flat out silly and I don't know what Gunn was thinking.

Krypto:camby:

There's barely any time spent with Clark and I think there's only one scene with him at work. It made the Daily Planet characters feel tacked on. The Bunk didn't do anything. They're just a complete waste and Jimmy Olsen has a plotline that's so dumb and unnecessary it had me cringing:snoop:

The Engineer was a boring villain and her CGI was bad. Ultraman was whatever.

Hated:
Eve is terrible character.

There's a lot going on in this movie and it's not tied together well. The jokes (there's a lot) didn't hit at all and I don't think I laughed once. The 3rd act is a typical CGI fest.

The ending:beli:

6.5/10
