Jeff K.

George I admire your restraint for not just putting Guy Gardner’s bowl cut on Simone in the thumbnail.

Boyan Konov

A point on George`s criticism that I also share about the joke-y tone of the movie. That has been James Gunn`s trademark for about 30 years now and after the success of GOTG in Marvel they shifted to a similar tone for most other properties so in a way this was inspired by the Marvel movies that Gunn himself inspired. I also think its hard to balance the real world parallels between the Gaza conflict/Ukraine War that the movie clearly is talking about with a more superhero-y story so you have to compromise somewhere and tone is where they chose to do so.

Christina Doxstader

I really liked how they just jump into it on this movie. We don't need to see his origin again. Everybody knows the story at this point so why waste time. This movie does have some issues but I really liked their approach and Nicklaus absolutely nailed Lex, I don't care what anyone says, he was great.

ChristianK

The only thing you need to watch before getting to Peacemaker is The Suicide Squad from 2021. I highly recommend Paacemaker, especially with season 2 out now

lalaland

oh man, my granddad loves Paacemaker, it really touched his heart.

Hansy

How do i open the youtube link? I usually watch these on my tv anr therefore need to add them to a playlist

lalaland

play the video in this post, pause it and you will see "Copy Link" at the top right corner of the video.

Brent bmc_comix

The humor in this movie is near totally perfect and appropriate and not an issue! The only scene that maybe went on a bit long was the garage, even then it worked, I feel this critque is invalid, no offense intended!!! Love this movie!!!

Brent bmc_comix

No George!!!! Man of Steel is the worst Superman movie!!! Not trying to argue or be mean, but that's objectively true!!!! Also Man of Steel is completely devoid of emotion!

Brent bmc_comix

The Lois and Superman scene with the dimensional imp is perfect!!!

James Kennedy

No such thing as objective opinion

Jeff K.

Boyan - all very fair points, but I do feel like, while James Gunn certainly solidified the comedic tone of the MCU with Guardians, he didn't bring that tone to the MCU. It was there from the very start with Iron Man, and then obviously with Avengers, you have the whole Joss Whedon of it all, which is of course snarky and quippy. So of course, they leaned into it a lot more after Guardians but Gunn takes way too much of the "blame" for the criticisms of the tone of the MCU since it was already in the DNA of those films from the jump.

Brent bmc_comix

Not trying to start anything, but Man of Steel is bad, damaged the public perception of Superman for awhile. Again not trying to offend anyone, just the fact that we now have an amazing and true Superman movie again is fantastic and I'm so happy and excited about it!!! :)

jmundt33a

Superman IV done well. Is Flash Gordon or Catwoman next?

Christina Bee

aw man you guys didn't like?? darn

Jason Pratt

I feel this was like a mid phase marvel movie where I didn’t know most of the ensemble. I think he can be a good Superman, but I felt it was an odd intro. I’m cautiously optimistic.

Brent bmc_comix

Yeah that bummed me out too, woke up super early for this! Lol :(

TalynOne

This is the most comic accurate Superman, yes even Green Lantern Guy Gardner's haircut, Guy is also an ass in the comics. This is by far my favorite live action Superman movie. Cavil was ok, but in my book Superman isn't a brooding Batman figure that murders his own father to keep his secret.

Christina Bee

I doubt you're rushing to watch again but the flow/plot runs much better during the 2nd watch. early versions included days of the week as the movie went along and I think removing that was one of Gunn's bigger mistakes.

Brent bmc_comix

Yes, loved this movie and so excited for the new Supergirl movie next year, and the Lex/Superman team-up movie "Man of Tomorrow" the year after that!!! :)

Brent bmc_comix

I love this movie too! I do hope they give it another watch! So much fun!!!

Chris B

Basically, if you want to be caught up with the new DCU, you can watch The Suicide Squad (2021), the series Peacemaker (2nd season now) and with this you'll be all caught up. The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker are one of the best things ever (a lot more adult orientated than the PG Superman).

Brent bmc_comix

Posting my comment again here: Also would like to recommend to everyone, visit your local bookstore and pick up All-Star Superman and Superman for all Season! READ MORE COMICS!!!!! 😊

Kyle B

I liked the movie but didn't love it. Still prefer it to any other Superman movie. Just wish I could have connected with the characters more like I have in some of Gunn's other Superhero works. I enjoyed Creature Commandos for instance, which was a tiny bit of a lead into this movie, barely.

Jeff K.

Simone not being a big fan of Krypto is the most unexpected thing I've ever seen on this channel.

Forkbeard83

Something I've noticed when actors are cast for the big 2 DC heroes, Superman is a relative unknown actor (Reeves, Roth, Cavil, & this gent), but Batman is more established one ( Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney, Bale, Affleck, Paterson)

Forkbeard83

Would pay them direct to do Flash Gordon

Greg Johanson

I can agree that there are 2-3 too many krypto gags but I thought the tone was fine. Marvel ad DC comics are not so different in print and it was snyderverse that went very heavy into the dark tone.

Roy A

"Cheers to the tin man!"

Roy A

No one mentioned Alan Tudyk voicing Robot #4?

Jim Johnson

Yeah I don’t get the focus on that as a “joke”. Like I think the introduction of it is supposed to be funny but I think after that it’s just there to provide a cool background and lighting for the scene. You’re not supposed to be laughing at it the whole time.

yudha

Most of the problems that you guys mentioned are basically just ignorance, which is fine. This is a universe that was moving long before we caught on. - Why is Guy Gardner's hair so stupid? Because Gunn chose to be more comic-accurate. In the comics, Guy is an asshole with a horrible haircut. - This is way too Marvel. Well, James Gunn basically created the tone for Guardians of the Galaxy, which worked and was replicated in many different movies. So this 'vibe' is James's vibe, not Marvel's. Also James himself said that this is the theme for this movie; it doesn't mean that the other DCU movies will be the same. Each one will have its own style and even genre. - Too many dog jokes. This is something I straight up don't understand. I love Krypto; I don't really have an argument for that. - Who are these people? This is not an origin story; stuff has been happening for three centuries.. That being said, it is okay if you still didn't like it. I just want you guys to understand that there are reasons for pretty much everything.

Stoodles

You should react to Peacemaker. Its pretty funny

Jeff K.

Uh, excuse me, that's Gary to you.

Brent bmc_comix

Yeah really bummed out by this vid, movie's still awesome, tho! Lol :)

Brent bmc_comix

Agreed! I really love that scene too! "Maybe that's the real punk rock?" Gets me every time! :')

Chris Hewlett

damn simone you are so beautiful

Adam K

I think what stood out to me on this one is that there are a LOT of bad movies reacted to on this channel (Fantastic Four anyone?) and for some reason this one was more a lean into being a critical review. I know that’s the instinct of LOTS of people when they watch this movie for some reason, but just felt a bit out of character for the usual reactions.

Nolmt112

From the comments I’m really interested in watching this review when I get a chance. This is was one I would have bet that they would at least enjoy. But I can understand if they didn’t love it, but I want to keep my thoughts to myself until I watch and see the review and what their actual objections and dislikes were.

jmundt33a

Not what I meant. I meant Gunn’s next wildly ambitious rehabilitation/flex project. I think Lanterns is officially next, but I was hunting for a project with a bad reputation or a mixed one that he could revive.

Emptysea93

I am super surprised how much you two didn’t like it. Honestly you two normally spend so much time always trying to find the beauty and joy of every movie that I thought you might relate to Superman in that sense. It’s okay for you not to like this one but this is the only reaction I have ever seen of yours where you two seem to focus on how much you dislike things rather than focus on what you do like. Idk it was a little weird to see you two be so negative about something.

Brian Bland

Their reaction has been re-uploaded. Their harsher criticism has been removed.

Brent bmc_comix

I think it's why they are the villains in the Thumbnail... super-haters! Lol 😆

BoredLittleLady

Guys seriously. Please watch The Suicide Squad. Please watch Peacemaker. And while I’m at it, please watch Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn.

Adam K

I will add Superman: Up in the Sky - same theme as the others and a great storyline consistent with the Superman we all know and love.

Shawn B

Is this the first video in 3 years that Simone called the channel "Cinebinge"?

Brent bmc_comix

Ooo nice pull, I actually have a couple of those WalMart books that it was initially serialized in!! Great Andy Kubert art too! 😁😁😁

Herby Ragan

There's more humor, but I never thought it as being more like Marvel. Rather, this film is the most DC Silver Age of comics, which had a lighter and funnier tone. Chris Reeves is still my favorite, but Superman 2025 is miles ahead of the dreary, dark, gritty Ayn Rand fevered dream that is Man of Steel.

Nolmt112

Is that true? That would be disappointing. I hope they explain what happened that it needed to be reloaded cause I really want real and genuine opinions not something just to placate the Patreons. And I’m someone who loved this movie but I understand not everyone will and I would like to see their viewpoints on what they did not like or enjoy.

MarsOneUp

Sweet! Please give Peacemaker Season 1 a shot. James Gunn directed most episodes and it is tied into Superman.

nucl3arsnake

Did they really? That's kinda... not cool.

Cinebinge

The Patreon version is untouched and all our criticisms are still there. The yt edit has had the post movie discussion removed as base on the feed back we've recieved on Patreon, we decided to just avoid that can of worms on YT all together as yt comments is significantly less civil and understanding. All our opinions and thoughts on the movie still exists in the Patreon version in its entirety.

Nolmt112

Thanks for clearing that up. Still super excited to watch this when I get home.

Jaaahn

yeah Brian that was pretty unclear what you said, made it sound like they removed it from all forms. i can understand taking it out of YT cause people on there are insane, ie their mean comment videos.

Nolmt112

Yeah I’m glad that George or Simone responded to me to explain what happened. Two main reasons I subscribe to their Patreon are 1) Quality, quantity and consistency of their output. 2) I value their takes on movies even if they differ from mine because they come across as genuine and honest. And I’ll always appreciate that.

Jaaahn

agreed. they so easily could've just pretend to liked it and said everything was perfect and not gotten any of the backlash so far. instead they chose to say what they actually thought and gave real opinions. the dumb thing is then people give them shit for being honest, while complaining YTbers fake things for views.

Brent bmc_comix

I genuinely hope you both are having a good day and don't let any of that get to you guys! :)

Ballsac McGee

I’ve been into James Gunn since Super, way before Guardians. What I love about his style is how he seamlessly blends crass humour with genuine sincerity. That’s exactly what Man of Steel lacked—it felt boring and overly self-important, like it was trying to be profound without actually saying much. As for the Marvel comparison, I don’t see it. Even Guardians felt held back by the MCU. Gunn’s best work is The Suicide Squad (2022), where he’s totally unfiltered. Most superhero movies play it safe, trying to “ground” the weird stuff. Gunn doesn’t do that. He leans into the absurd and treats it like it’s normal, which makes his worlds feel more alive. Superman (2025) is probably his least jokey film. Take the scene with Lois at Superman’s apartment while the lightshow imp fights the Justice Gang in the background. It’s bizarre, sure, but the characters play it completely straight. The scene’s mostly tight close-ups, and the fight is out of focus and barely acknowledged. It’s treated the same way someone might glance out their window and see a bird. That framing sells the idea that this world is fundamentally different. The MCU feels like our world with superheroes dropped in. This feels like a fully built universe, shaped by the fact that metahumans revealed themselves centuries ago. That’s why people record kaiju sightings instead of running -- they’ve adapted. I also disagree that the Justice Gang is unnecessary. They highlight why Superman stands out, not just because of his powers, but because of his values. Their motivations are more self-serving, and each member brings a distinct perspective. Their actions in Jarhanpur reinforce what Superman represents. Honestly, I don’t think you’d mind these characters if they weren’t superpowered. What’s the real difference between the Justice Gang and a side character in any other movie? They’re there to support the main story. Gunn just treats even the weirdest ones like real people, not punchlines. That’s what makes his worlds feel lived-in, more so than the MCU does, even after 30+ movies. Also, sidenote, I will not accept the criticism "too many jokes ruined emotional beats" from people who cried watching deadpool & wolverine.

Brent bmc_comix

Well said! Gunn has said how much Hong Kong cinema has influenced him because it will allow absurdity to exist in a serious story and not break it, and he excels at those emotional moments! Pa Kent had me in near tears. Compared to the completely hollow Man of Steel where no one has any feelings except maybe apathy, and that's even a bit of a stretch. Lol loved this movie! Gonna do another rewatch!!! Lol

Brent bmc_comix

Love how they handle the recap at the beginning of season 2 btw, genius! :)

Jeb Manning

I hope you doing Superman will mean you'll also do Peacemaker and Creature Commandos as short TV reactions. Both shows are a lot of fun, and the only prerequisite viewing is The Suicide Squad, which you've already seen.

Brent bmc_comix

Should've known the energy in the video would've been off. Lol

Jeb Manning

I hope you guys reacting to Superman will hopefully result in reactions to the DC Animated Universe. It's several fun shows consisting of: -Batman: The Animated Series -Superman: The Animated Series -Batman Beyond -Static Shock -The Zeta Project -Justice League -Justice League Unlimited All of them are fun shows and great ways to get familiarized with the DC universe and its characters. They'd make great reactions.

Collinson

Thanks for this. For some reason the normal click to watch on Youtube disappeared.

John Hoonhorst

Also they went above and beyond with the uncovered versions. I think their the best reactors.

Andrew

I think part of that is expectations. Going into a FF movie that doesn't have the best reputation and it turns out to be decent you are a little surprised that it wasn't that bad. This movie had a lot of build up and expectations were high. It fell a little short for me and I mostly agree with what G and S said but I still enjoyed and want to watch it again. It just didn't completely fulfill my expectations.

Darren Boyle

Well that was disappointing. Opening 3 mins, awesome, then a flying dog turned up and everything plummeted downhill from there 😂 its time for people to acknowledge Mr Gunn got VERY lucky with the Guardians franchise probably due to the cover from above he had in D'esposito, Fiege and Fine assisting. He has now proven time & again that outside of the structure of the MCU setup, he just cant reproduce 'the magic' elsewhere.

Benjamin-Ian Astley-schaack

It's weird how hard they tried to not like this movie. Simone literally cried over Rorschach killing the child-eating dog in Watchmen, but screw Krypto I guess lol.

Richard Wakeling

This is my favourite Superman movie. Bummed you guys didn't like it that much, but opinions are opinions! I'd still love to see a reaction to The Suicide Squad and then maybe Peacemaker, since I think both are better than Superman, for as much as I enjoyed it. I didn't get some of the criticism, like the imp scene that others have mentioned, since it was never played for laughs. The other thing I don't get-and this is something almost everyone does-is criticising the small roles for Guy and Hawk Girl. This only seems to happen with superhero movies, because I don't see it elsewhere. It's like, if you're wearing a costume then you should be a focal point, but sometimes side characters are just side characters. Again, this isn't a dig or anything because I see it all the time. I just think it's funny it only really happens in this genre. Anyway, I hope the more negative comments don't get you down. The internet likes to get irrationally mad about opinions. It's silly and you guys are great!

nossieboy

I gave this film a 7 and they seemed to enjoy the movie about as much as I did. Good film, great soundtrack. Simone looked shook when Krypto got smothered in the nanites. I don't think they hated on this film at all. I am a huge comic fan and I can respect the reactions of people who aren't aware of the heavy lore but honestly saying that they tried hard to hate this film makes no sense to me. :P

TanyoScatto

yeah i'm in the same boat. i love superman from the animated universe and from the (not that many) comics i have read, but none of the movies have really done it for me. This is a solid B for me, which is good but not great. i dont understand a lot of the criticism i have seen about 'jokeyness' in it, there are some comedic moments but it did not feel like a jokey movie to me. very subjective though, cant really argue about it

Eric Mc Daniel

Pretty much what I would have said had I reacted with them.

Eric Mc Daniel

Yeah when you compare it to Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, and TSS, I like it a tad under Peacemaker and CC but slightly more than TSS, but still enjoyed it

Onikaze

yes. Ultraman is also a long running show/movie franchise in Japan. he tends to fight Kaiju.

Ballsac McGee

Yeah but that's not a joke. It's not even played as a joke. Their taste in music and the way they talk about is a contrast of how each of them views the world. When she sees the mighty crabjoys poster in his room, it's not a joke, it's her getting a glimse at seeing the world through superman's eyes and it's what informs her deciding that she in fact does love clarke. I don't see how any of this changes if you replace mighty crabjoys with a forgotten pop punk radio band that really exists.

Ballsac McGee

He is like the sole creative for guardians. He is one of the lead creative architects of the MCU post the success of guardians. He is the one who established the lore of the infinity stones. Virtually every other MCU movie is made with a spray and pray attitude. Shoot a bunch of stuff with an unfinished script, show it to test audiences, see what they like and don't like, scrap stuff they don't like and reshoot, rinse repeat until you have a finished movie. The guardians movies are like the only ones that start with a more or less finished script and singular creative vision. I would argue the first guardians is his weakest becuase even though it's an enjoyable adventure film, it's his most restraint. Vol 2 and Vol 3 are even better than the first one because he has way more control and he is able to go almost completely off the chain. In fact, I would argue, the guardians movies were never able to reach their true potential because they were shackled by being part of the MCU. The worst aspects of those movies like the forced inclusion of Adam Warlock (which I think gunn still managed to make work for the most part) in Vol 3 which takes away from the main story or gamora being killed before quill's arc can be completed and gunn having to write around that in Vol 3 were all changes he was forced to make because of the restrictions placed him him by being part of the MCU. His best movie is easily the suicide squad because that is the movie where he is truly off the chain, completely unabashedly diving head first into this world with no mandate for making it a smaller piece of a larger puzzle.

Immeasurably Me

Exactly. This is not a justice gang movie. This isnt a guy gardiner movie or hawkgirl movie. Id argue the reason we got more of mr terriffic is because he is by and far less known than the other two and im glad he was showcased here. We will get more focus on the other two in future movies which is more than good.

Immeasurably Me

What on earth are you talking about?? Krypto has been around for a while and is a fan favorite. This movie was easily a 8.5-9/10 and you gave no reasons other than spewing off random nonsense that has 0 credibility as to why you didnt think it was good

Immeasurably Me

Exactly! The justice gang fighting the imp WAS important because it showed that superman does not have to be involved in every single problem and that the Justice Gang can and do handle problems separate from him. Its great world building and helps it feel more real.

nucl3arsnake

"The Mighty Crabjoys" joke with Superman's poster of them on the wall doesn't land as well." But, but that's not a joke...? If that's your bar for what a "joke" is then yeah, I can imagine why this movie (and probably most movies for that matter) must feel like an insuferable gag-fest. That poster (and all the set dec) is there just to give you a glimpse into Clark's views, his formation and his ideals, and for Lois to see that firsthand. I thought it couldn't be more obvious.

Robert Cooper

Ultraman here is a reference to a Superman analog from Earth 2 who is part of the Crime Syndicate, and evil version of the Justice League.

parker469a

Personally, I've always found the complaints about Marvel movies to be absurd. You don't order a hotdog thinking you're getting fine french cuisine. A hotdog is a hotdog, if you wanted Casablanca go watch Casablanca.

Onikaze

yes. thanks. should have included that. was just addressing George's comment.

Darren Boyle

Aww do you need a hug? Do try not to get ur superman pyjamas in a bunch sweetie xx

Jason Dreibeblis

I’m sorry you guys didn’t like it as much, but this is by far my favorite version of Superman in film. And to your criticism of the jokes and quippy stuff, its not that it’s specifically trying to emulate marvel, it’s just James Gunn doing his thing. That’s why Warner bros hired him to head DC. To make it more light and fun, that’s his style. You have to expect it going into a James Gunn movie. But I don’t believe they’ll all be like that. This one was specifically written and directed by James Gunn. Most of the new DC films won’t be singularly headed up by him.

Joits

They are my favorite reactors but when they didn't like Expanse, it kind of made me realize that there's going to be some reactions that disappoint me because they didn't like the movie /tvshow as much as I did. It's weird cos when the movie starts, it seems like they're definitely going to like it. As it goes on, it completely takes me by surprise when I realize that they're not fans of it. I didn't bother finishing the reaction... but they're still my fav reactors.

Mysterious Science Fiction Fan

Hawkgirl first appeared in Flash Comics #1 in January 1940. Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Dennis Hard to see how she was "Marvelized." Try watching the animated JUSTICE LEAGUE television series, particularly JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED. Made 2004-2006, still the best representation of the actual comics Justice League in movies or television. Guy Gardner's first appearance was in Green Lantern #59, published in March 1968. He's always an asshole, that's his point: to be the one asshole Green Lantern. (As opposed to Earth's Hal Jordan and John Stewart and Kyle Rayner, and all the 1597 other Green Lanterns in the galaxy. The bowl haircut is intentionally deeply stupid. It's just one way it's obvious that Guy is an idiot. Always, in every appearance ever anywhere. But he's still a good guy. Just an asshole good guy.

The Maestro

earth 3 was the evil superhero world, earth 2 was the one that was still set in the 30s or 40s in the 80s so they could keep the characters who were made to fight Nazis around then

Rav Low

I know this is an older reaction, but I wanted to put my two cents out here: This version of superman is perhaps the most reflective of our actual society as it is today. The whole thing of people turning on Superman in a heartbeat because of narratives pushed online? That's just... real. That happens ALL the time.

Mitch M

As someone who reads a lot of comics, this is my favorite Superman movie by far. This isn't a perfect movie, no, but that's a ridiculous expectation of any movie, to be honest, let alone a comic book movie. There's no such thing as media without flaws. But of all the recent superhero movies, this is the one that is most willing to take a stand on real world social commentary--it never flinches from saying that global politics should come second to human suffering, that being an "alien" doesn't mean you shouldn't have rights (Superman is in immigrant metaphor, after all), that caring and empathy (as opposed to power and might) are the truly punk rock values that Superman embodies. The allegory to Israel/Palestine is hardly subtle. In the era of Disney trying to sanitize any message that might cost them a buck, I found it a brave and refreshing approach. Comics are frequently silly, but they're also deeply progressive and critically aware media in many ways, and the movie is VERY comic book that way. Silly at times on the surface, but packing a punch underneath. (Honestly the opposite of the Snyder take, imo. Snyder's stuff looks cool on the surface, but any critical approach to his work reveals that it's pretty inconsistent and shallow.). Yeah, there's a little too much over the top stuff sometimes, but I think that's meant to balance and lighten a real-world commentary and tone that would otherwise leave us feeling apathetic at the heartlessness of our species rather than hopeful that we can overcome it.

Angela D. Mitchell

Yeah, I thought this was just okay, although it had some really fun moments. It's a shame, but I just felt like it was too busy all the time. It felt like watching an ADHD version of Superman where Gunn was terribly afraid we would stop watching if there was one slow moment (or at least, a slow moment without a disaster in the background). I personally liked the Krypto stuff, although occasionally it maybe went on a bit too long. Some of the jokes just felt awkward, and it felt like one of those scripts where they couldn't decide on which villains or heroes to use, so they were like, "Let's use everyone!" I did think the cast was wonderful -- too bad they often felt underused. Loved David Corwenswet as Superman -- he's perfectly cast, although I missed the "Clark in disguise" sweet awkwardness. I adored Rachel Brosnahan as Lois, and I absolutely agree with Simone that she really brought Margo Kidder's sass and sense of bravery. I also loved seeing Wendell Pierce (even if underused) and of course loved hearing Alan Tudyk as Four. I wasn't as in love with Hoult as Luthor here as you, George. I thought he was perfectly fine, but there was something missing for me. He didn't have the gravitas -- the real chill factor at his core -- that Gene Hackman had or even Kevin Spacey. He just felt petty to me. Last but not least, I did love that the score by John Murphy and David Fleming incorporated some of John Williams' iconic Superman fanfares, because they are so inextricably linked to Superman, you have to, right?? Just as with the Singer Superman. I love that John Williams' gorgeous score remains so much a part of popular culture and Superman. It's one of my favorite scores by him, and the "Planet Krypton" fanfare will always give me chills. So that was a nice aspect.

max max

Idk if george has never picked up a superman comic but this movie is literally made to look and format like a superman comic. Guy Gardner was not just for a joke hes a character with that haircut and hes a dick and will play a large part in the later DCU as confirmed by James Gunn. George saying Man of Steel is better than this kinda confirmed my previous statement for me. Man of Steel is the worst portrayal of Superman of all time, it's simply not Superman, it's how can I be as edgy and overly emotional as possible, WHICH ISNT SUPERMAN. He breaks every fundamental rule of Superman to ever exist all in that movie. Whatever just my opinion I guess but you guys just felt really felt ignorant here and seemed like you went into this thinking it's a movie made so be some super emotional Oscar nominating film when it's not, it's a comic book movie based on a comic.

Robert Carter

It’s not ignorant to have an opinion on a movie that you don’t agree with. I’ve read plenty of Superman comics and this film is just meh to me. I also don’t like All-Star Superman personally so maybe that tone just isn’t for me. I still prefer this over Man of Steel but it lags behind Christopher Reeve for me

Trevor S Bright

So I've been debating...based on the comments here, do Simone & George dislike this Superman so much that I can just skip the reaction?
