Rate the last movie you watched out of 10

Grandma 8/10
Tour de force performance from Lily Tomlin.

Superman 5/10
Last fight scene was decent but overall disappointing. Kids enjoyed it though.

I'll definitely give it another spin when it comes out on streaming. The way all the women were fawning over Olsen was funny though

There was a lot to like for me.

Its the first superhero film Ive seen in the cinema since Gunn's Suicide squad

Mr Terriffic taking out a camp full of Lex's goons to 5 years time was probably the most fun set piece , Lois really selling it.

I think the critics have just got superhero jaundice at this point. It was a lot better than garbage like Captain America: Whatever or Captain Marvel: Girl Power.
 
I went in cold and tbh I enjoyed it.

I really , really have gone off reviews in general. You get someone who is incapable of throwing together 300 words without giving away some major aspect of the plot.It takes away from the movie experience.

The main dude was perfectly cast. Nicholas Hoult had a ball as Lex Luthor, really chewing the scenery.

I agree its very much a James Gunn joint but thats why DC hired him and I think he delivered.

Goofy action with a heart.( & liberal lashings of Nathan Fillion).


The superhero genre is very much a cooked goose at this point. We're on the fifth(?) iteration of Batman since 89. This is SuperMan number three since Christopher Reeve hung up the cape. The X-men are on their 3rd set of casting. (Don't start me on all the awful Marvel tv shows).

Id say Gunn has very much delivered his SuperMan among the cluttered jumble of the DC/Marvel megaplex crowdpleasers. I think its (just about) the best Supes since Donner's SuperMan II.

The Lois & Clark dynamic works and even Jimmy Olsen delivers. I was undecided at first but Krypto won me over at the end.

I'll give it a respectable 7/10.

No Otisburg, big fail :)

Singers Supes suffered as his Lois was shockingly miscast. Routh was OK but there wasn't a whole lot of story there.

I couldn't warm to Cavills Man of Steel at all really. Too broody and joyless, missed the mark completely character wise. Like trying to make Peter Parker The Punisher.

The less said about the Justice League stuff the better.

Gunn does what he does. Its not to everyone's taste but I thought it was grand. And at least it wasn't 3 hours long like a lot of these superhero movies feel they have to be.

I thought the guy who played Lex Luthor did a great job. He was an utter cunt for the whole movie and i couldnt wait for him to get his comeuppance. But when he got his comeuppance he made me feel sorry for him. Not many actors can do that.
