Well, this wokefest must be the worst movie version of Superman that I have seen - and also the worst version of Superman.

I had thought I'd seen all of the films since 1978 Christopher Reeves. But I guess I have not seen the Henry Cavill version - probably missed them to avoid Bafffleck.

I normally like James Gunn's work, ever since Slither with Nathan and Gregg Henry. But this version seems a flabby putz. Maybe his laziness is why he refuses to fight for Truth, Justice and The American Way. The timeline is revised such that Superman arrives on earth in mid-1990's.

Apparently, Libtards galore are whining that adopted children need to be classified as Aliens, and must obtain Visa cards to remain in USA.

Even the music score is the worst I can recall for a superduperman film.
I'm glad I waited until cheap seat Tuesday to avoid full fare.
The camera didn't show it, but I'm pretty sure Superman stepped on a bunch of ants and killed them - didn't seem to save a single one.

Sorry, some spoilers follow...

I was pleasantly surprised with the cast. Michaela Hoover is in this, and she was Nathan's 2nd fiancee. I'm not sure, I think she plays the blonde at Daily Planet. Apparently they met on GotG, along with other castmates Michael Rooker, Bradley Cooper. director Gunn, etc.
Uber hottie Angela Sarafyan plays his birth mom, Couldn't quite place Bradley Cooper as his birth dad, but Pruitt Taylor Vince plays Pa Kent.
Nicholas Hoult plays Lex Luthor, but acts like he's playing Spock. This version of Lex channels Obama, starting wars all over the globe for fun (Russia-Ukraine, Gaza/Iran/Hamas/Hexbollah/Houthi Terrorists - Israel, India - Pakistan, China vs everybody, etc), and gaslighting everybody, claiming everybody else is committing all of the crimes that he himself is committing.

This version of Lois Lane is a bit smarter than Superman, but that is a low bar with this dunce.
Hawkgirl turns out to be quite likable.

2 codas. One brief one just after the main cast graphics, before the full credit scroll. Or maybe it was just a transition clip, not sure.
Then another at the very end of the full end credit crawl.
Nathan and Alan are in neither coda.

That's pretty harsh criticism when it sounds like you haven't seen very much.

I never saw the Baffleck version or anything DC has put out in recent years except for (I think) Shazam 1.

I only saw 1/2 of the one with Kate Bosworth in her prime playing the most beautiful version of Superman's girlfriend on screen along with the great Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor. I feel asleep halfway through it and never bothered to watch the rest of it. (Which reminds me that I DID see about 1/2 of the first Gal Gadot Wonder Woman and I did the exact same thing and never finished that one either).

And I saw all 4 of the Reeve's Superman movies growing up, with several of the coming out after I was born, and the 4th one just being awful, let alone released far past its expiration date at that point anyhow.

For me, it's probably a tie between Superman IV and the one with Bosworth and Spacey that was the worst. I think it would be quite hard to beat either of those. Can't speak at all to the Baffleck ones.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad was the "wokeness" level in your mind? Maybe compare it to a few other ones we've discussed over the years back when the media was cheering that all on, back in the world from longer than 6 months ago that is now dead?

Since it sounds like the only Superman movies you ever watched were from the Reeve's era, and from a time I will agree they were putting out some of the best and most timeless music ever put to film, I won't take what you have against the current soundtrack seriously. I couldn't recite a single note of a single song of any other version of Superman I've had any contact with other than the Reeve's movies OST.

Outside of that, give some examples of what you absolutely hated about this movie. What made you give it such a bad review specifically? Is there anything in the movie that would have made you hate it of your own accord had you gone in blind and weren't looking for reasons to hate it, or after already having reasons pointed out to you beforehand to look for and justify your hatred for it?

I know all about the "Truth, Justice and the American Dream" change. My take on that is one of "after I was about 6 years old and figured out that Santa wasn't real, there wasn't really any reason I should have believed in that hoo rah rah line as long as I did in retrospect.

I love my country and I don't want to see her disrespected by people who come here and disrespect it. I want her protected. I want her respected. But I'm not going to pretend like "The American Way" is a brand that we all need to be proud of on an international stage in 2025 either. Neither of those concepts are mutually exclusive.

Maybe if we stayed the fuck out of everyone else's business and didn't spend the last 100 years reshaping the world to whosoever's liking is doing the shaping... or if after all that meddling we currently found ourselves living in a thriving and happy world right now we could say a laughable line like that out loud in public without feeling embarrassed doing so in 2025.

But that ain't the world we're living in.

Everybody makes mistakes, but nobody ever learns from them until we're able to stop pretending like "Our Side" never makes them and it's only the other side that does. Until the day we wake up and we're living in Utopia, "Truth, Justice and the American Way" is just a stupid fucking line of propaganda, and just the flip side of any woke bullshit that we've been arguing against for as long as we did.

Let's just say my only grotch going into this movie would be that Gunn put that line in there just to change it and piss You off. It was something that was needless and petty and just a shitty thing to do to keep people arguing with each other about every fucking thing that doesn't even matter... like this movie.

I actually don't want to post spoilers, which would ruin the film for those who really want to see it.
Let me think about it.

I haven't seen much Superman?

Christopher Reeve, Brandon Routh, Henry Cavill. Other than cartoons and TV, those encapsulate the actors playing Clark Kent since the 1960s. What other kind of nonsense are you gibbering about?

Gunn can get music done well. he did GotG.

That's about all the nonsense.

That Smallville show was huge at the time. I didn't watch it, but my brothers and my old man did. I think they all watched the whole run.

Might want to count that one because I think way more people were watching that than any comic book show the WB or whatever they call themselves today have put out in a decade or more. I think a lot of people consider that their favorite version and put Reeves in 2nd place behind it.

Not saying they're right or wrong. I loved Gene Hackman's Luthor, but I could see why it rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. And you'd never get me to sit through 10 or so seasons of a 20+ year old WB show in 2025, so I'll never be able to give my piece on it.
