Saw Superman with my son who had seen it night before.
I guess it’s what you would expect in an era where superhero movies are such a genre thing and it’s all incredible CGI.
It honestly left me a little bit cold. I might’ve been expecting more from it than it was able to deliver and that might be my problem. I genuinely like the waving fields of grain Americana thing and the sense of humor of the Christopher Reeve films.
I did get emotional at times I’ll admit during this new film. Yes there were parts that were stirring.
But I didn’t find it as interesting, or as affecting as I did the first Guardians film by James Gunn where he wasn’t dealing with an existing body of work that was as revered and sacrosanct as Superman, so he had more creative leeway.
Parts of the Superman canon were considerably revised in this new film which is daring, and I think appropriate, and I’m not going to spoil that for you.
I did though find this new version more memorable than the other recent DC iterations of Superman so this is a step in the right direction for Superman and for DC.
