We watched Superman last night.

My review: Finally, was that so hard??

I thought it was great. The James Gunn goofiness of Gurdians and Suicide Squad, I thought was toned down to an acceptable level.

CGI is just CGI these days. Unless its Chris Nolan, its what you get. So I didn't have too much of an issue with it.

Gunn just gets it right now. He made me care about Metamorpho, who had hardly any screen time and is just kind of a weird character.

If you're not much of a Superman fan, I think the review would be closer to "yeah, really good movie, I had fun" but maybe kind of forgettable.

Im a big Superman fan. Ever since watching the Donner movies on TV every time they came on. Gunn captured the character better than any director has since Donner. No Jesus imagery, no gritty, Greek tragedy dialog. To be clear, I liked parts of the Snyderverse. I thought Ben Afflecks Batman was great. I think Man of Steel is underrated and the Snydercut I think worked. It all explores different parts and themes for characters that have been in pop culture for decades. I think the Snyder movies suffered from poor, rushed storytelling.

That line that Superman has about how trusting people and being kind is the new punk rock, i know it's cheesy but I thought it was great.

Loved it. If we didn't have to pay a babysitter id go again next week.
