SUPERMAN by James Gunn (OUT now)

[parallax]

i thought i would go in liking this, but i liked it more than i thought. lex was super hammy, and him holding major grudges over absolute dumb shyt was great. terrific and oddly krypto were the stand outs of the movie to me though. i didnt think either would have such a strong presense, but whenever they showed up on screen they ate. two questions i have, why did they put the engineer with lex, when mercy graves exists as a character and is already loyal to lex, and how does rick flag jr and sr exist? theres only like 9 years difference between both actors.

overall, fantastic 4 is really gonna have to put its best foot forward following this

Great fukking movie

I don’t give a fukk about no fanboy shyt or anything like that. This was good as fukk

Lex actor killed that shyt

Saw this for the third time, and have to bump up my score to a 9/10. There is just so much to love regarding this Superman, if Gunn learns to tone certain things down then we in for epics.

It's going to be fukkery. I can see a lot of planet hopping and ain't Lobo a main character? Pure fukkery..

I liked it. Dense as fukk.
Straight 90's Jurgens comic stuff with Luthor trolling on multiple fronts.
Best onscreen personality for Superman.
The only real con was that Ultraman wasn't Bizarro.
Not a fan of his parents being evil but I guess it was a good way to sway the public against him.

I liked how they found way to really hurt Superman here:
Filling his lungs and eyes.
Kryptonite
Emotional blackmail.

It's early but the excellent word of mouth is kicking in so far

You brought that dawg mayne!?!?...

Mr Terrific is that dude in the comics. He's the one you want at the forefront when the world is about to fukking end.

You get what you negotiate and Gunn has leverage

*Gunn is creating a movie about "The Authority," of which the Engineer is a member.

*Diversity purposes. Mercy Graves isn't a Latina.

Nah. Lobo is only supposed to be a side character.

It should be an interesting movie regardless

If the keep it true to the original Warren Ellis, it could either be a Trainwreck or the greatest thing ever.
