SUPERMAN by James Gunn (OUT now)
- Thread starter MoshpitMazi
- Start date
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
Superman had to be bailed out during every battle.
His dog saved him at least 3 times. Lmao
Like someone posted there's a good movie in there somewhere. Script and overall story was pretty weak tho.
Other nitpicks: Lois is ugly. That suit was atrocious. The whole Bovaria subplot was stupid.
Gunn did deliver some fun scenes and I think this could of easily been a 8, 9/10 movie but his writing in this movie at least was pretty average at best. Dude playing supes wasnt bad. He looks like the last guy but had more personality. Mos was a bloated mess and this movie looks like it had some cuts that could have made it a bloated mess, good on Gunn for trimming it down.

Superman first day on the job vs. Superman 3 years into it TBF.
This Superman wasn't weak, but those were powerhouse characters going against powerhouse characters. This felt more like Superman: TAS where he was still really strong but could feel vulnerable at times.

I mean it’sGood point
That nikka Suoes was gettin that work tho
literally his clone with Lex Luther controlling him like a video game. It was a fresh take on that troupe to of the superhero fighting a robot or clone that’s been programmed to predict all his moves
I love that Superman gets hit and feels it of it’s someone near his level instead of having to rely on Kryptonite to damage him.
Also, there’s some retconning regarding Man of Steel. I’m pretty sure he got his ass beat for most of the movie until the end. He got straight up Ko’d by the kryptonians in Smallville before they suddenly can’t function without their helmets. Then he’s losing to Zod the entire fight despite Zod not being experienced with his powers until he is suddenly able to hold him down and snap his neck. That whole fight showed zero damage to any of them nor did it show Zod getting worn down, then it just ends because it’s time to wrap it up.
In this you can see physical damage taking place, guys spitting blood, broken bones, as it should be.

Zod couldn’t even fly, use his laser vision or use his kryptionian senses without his helmet till 5 minutes before the end.
Zod in Man of Steel was 90% aura, 10% substance
Ultraman stomps.
Superman wasn't weak. He literally held up a skyscraper and a big ass Kaiju.
However, they had to show that he's not invincible. Literally, the biggest complaint most casual people have about Superman is that he's "boring and overpowered".
So they had to give him some challenges

great film. gunn restoring the feeling. 
Ive also been critical of the choices of movies/shows in this new DCU as well.
Clayface, supergirl, sgt rock, creature commandos, peacemaker..not necessarily projects that are ringing bells, not like superman. These are passion projects.
Lanterns would, but as a TV show project im not sure if thats the right decision either, that should be a movie.
I think there should be more of an emphasis on bigger names before you pivot to these supplemental characters.
Clark needs to move his Fortress Of Solitude to the North Pole from Antarctica I see.
Still not buying Clarke's Kryptonian Parents telling that nikka to OmniMan the Earth.
just read fans are speculating that Gunn is aiming for the Oz storyline. Which means Dr. Manhattan is in the cut manipulating events. He has saved Jor El from krypton destruction etc etc I’m being lazy at work lol but yeah. I can see Gunn doing this. i questioned why Bradley Cooper? But I can see the vision now if that’s the case
I always have valued your opinion. Thanks for the honest commentary. I noticed you didn’t give your rating if it wasn’t a 8 or 9 tho
great film. gunn restoring the feeling.
He's 2/2 so far IMO with this joint and Creature Commandos (guess this upcoming season of Peacemaker will be his 3rd entry, sure it will be good fukkery).
He made Supplemental characters matter with GOTG, and I kinda like that he gives some shine to lesser known characters.
Sidenote: Maybe Iger should consider him replacing Feige

If they needed someone to interface with Fortress computers; create weapons from their body; hold Superman prisoner with Kryptonite; and go toe-to-toe with Superman in a fight then they should have combined The Engineer, Ultraman and Metamorpho characters into Metallo.
With only one character, it could've had an actual arc. Maybe he's being Kryptonite powered, but Luthor is disappointed with the outcome so takes out the Kryptonite for another project and puts Metallo on cold storage. Metallo's body is off but his mind keeps racing: vowing revenge. Luther gets another chance to show how disposable people are to him.
