I saw the movie last night.
It's not as good as folks are making it seem... NO WAY.
But it's not as bad either.
And that's the whole problem.
The movie is MID.
I give it somewhere between a "C+" and a "B-" rating.
(Maybe even a "B" at the most... if i wanna get generous.)
The writing is just not as good as other superhero movies that have come before it.
Judging from the trailers, I thought the guy who played Lex Luthor was gonna be almost as good as Heath Ledger's Joker.
He started really strong at the begining... but by the end of the movie, he became a joke.
But it wasn't because of HIS acting... it was because of the script/writing for his character arc fell apart.
His biggest fight scene when he was outnumbered... was one of the very few times the audience cheered (out loud) for something.
- To me, the BEST part of the movie was.......... Mr. Terrific.
- He was the BEST superhero in this film, imo.
- He was serious. But also had some funny moments... and kicked some serious ass.

It's crazy because I was expecting him to be really wack...... but he actually STOLE the whole movie, imo.
One thing is clear... Mr. Terrific needs HIS OWN movie.
If DC is smart, they will give him his own movie. ASAP.
As far as this movie goes... the folks who love "Guardians of the Galaxy" & hate Zach Snyder's Superman.. are gonna act like this movie is the BEST thing ever made in the history of DCU.
And the folks who like movies like "The Dark Knight" / or "The Winter Soldier" / or "Man of Steel" are not gonna think this movie is as good as any of those films (because it's not).
Here's another thing..... In James Gunn's movie, I hated all the Kryptonian technology in the Fortress of Solitude.
It was sooooo underwhelming. And all those useless Superman robots were just pointless. They were just thrown in the movie to sell toys, imo.
The Kryptonian Technology in "Man of Steel" absolutely SHITS on James Gunn's vision of Kryptonian Technology.It's not even close.
And what makes it even worse... both Lex Luthor AND Mr. Terriffic (2 humans) somehow BOTH had technology that SHITS on the Kryptonian Tech also.But wait a sec... Krypton can make a Spaceship to carry Superman across multiple the galaxies... but somehow this advanced alien technology IS NOT any better than the shit that Lex Luthor and Mr. Terriffic got in their garage???
Cmon Man. This can't be life
There's gonna be alot of people (and YouTubers) who will REFUSE to admit the movie is just "okay-ish".
They are gonna LIE their ass off and try to hype it up.
But I won't be surprised if this movie does not crack $1 billion... or just barely gets past that milestone.
James Gunn needed to make an UNDISPUTED blockbuster of a film... to backup all the shit he was talking about the Snyderverse.
But this ain't it, Chief.
It's just MID.
The Russo Brothers would have done a MUCH better job if they had made this movie, imo.
The bottom line is... James Gunn probably won't lose his job... but he also won't surpass Marvel any time soon.
His new Superman movie sets up a whole new pantheon of DCU films that will keep them SOLIDLY in 2nd place, behind Marvel.
Right where they have always been. Completely unable to catch up, or close the gap.
Even when Marvel is in a major slump.
I think they considering giving him a series like peacemakerI give it an A
Superman took many an ass whipping in this movie. Showed his vulnerability.
Mr. Terrific solves DC black problem finally.
Give him a stand alone movie and black people will support
it..DC failed previously with Black Adam and Cyborg to connect with black mainstream
lol yeah he did kinda overdo it in the end battleI might be in the minority on this one
But on a side note:
James Gunn & that camera work.....
It might be just me, but it got a little annoying at times
During fight scenes, or action scenes
The constant quick zooming in, then quick zooming out, then panning/rotating the camera around the actors & shit
The constant back & forth, in & out, spin around & around, etc, etc
I know that's his "thing" & how he usually does in past movies
But gawd damn bruh, tone that shit down a bit.....![]()
Isn't that the standard rate? This is his first major block busterOh those Jews really jewed on the budget… how this nig playing the most iconic superhero in comic book history and they gave him less than 7 figs off ripped.. yo Hollywood something else.. I would hate to see what they paid the brother in the film
I definitely wouldn’t say that’s the standard rate.. this is an iconic role..imagine playing the biggest character and you still not paid the highest..ole boy who played lex Luther is making damn near 3 times what he making .. I know he the bigger star but come on you couldn’t even give him a clean million to play fucking Superman?Isn't that the standard rate? This is his first major block buster
This situation is reminiscent of Robert Downey Jr. and Terrence Howard’s situation. If it succeeds, he will be earning $25 million per movie.I definitely wouldn’t say that’s the standard rate.. this is an iconic role..imagine playing the biggest character and you still not paid the highest..ole boy who played lex Luther is making damn near 3 times what he making ..

That's because DC waited more than 10+ years to make Black Adam.... and they did not put much effort into Cyborg, at all.I give it an A

John stewart will be in the green lantern series. Run along little marvel shill.That's because DC waited more than 10+ years to make Black Adam.... and they did not put much effort into Cyborg, at all.
Almost a decade later... and DC still has not even dropped a "John Stewart" solo movie.
- They chopped Cyborg out of the first movie, after Joss Whedon took over the "Josstice League".
- Next, they canceled his solo Cyborg movie.
- And that was a whole YEAR before Marvel dropped the first solo "Black Panther" movie in 2018.

Meanwhile, since DC dissed the hell outta Cyborg back in 2017...
Yet DC still has not given the same amount of shine to ANY Black character in their entire pantheon.
- Marvel gave an unknown "C" level benchwarmer hero named Kamala Khan her own tv show..
- And put her in like 2 or 3 movies...
- And she is set to appear in the next 2 upcoming Russo Brothers/Avengers movies...
- And even made her the MAIN STAR of the Avengers video game....
I agree that Mr. Terrific SHOULD help DC gain some ground with Black AudiencesAbsolutely.
But unfortunately, I don't think DC/James Gunn will give him the same "push" that Marvel gave Kamala Khan and Monica Rambeau.
James Gunn is not gonna give him a solo movie. I doubt it.
My prediction.... he's probably gonna team Mr. Terrific up with John Cena/Peacemaker and a few others.![]()
"Lanterns" is not a SOLO show.John stewart will be in the green lantern series. Run along little marvel shill.
I didnt read that be How about you fuck off nerd"Lanterns" is not a SOLO show.
And it's not a movie... It's a TV series.
And it doesn't come out until 2026.
Remember how Marvel put Sam Wilson in a TV Series with The Winter Soldier...
Then they gave him HIS OWN movie also?
Sam Wilson has ALWAYS been a sidekick-level hero.
Yet somehow he got his own movie.
Holla back when DC does the same with a BLACK character.
ANY Black character.
Got the nerve to call me a "Marvel shill" just because I wanna see DC Comics PROMOTE a Black Character.
You got the game all fucked up, homie.Stand down.
them damm dirty azz jews that is ridiculous ol'boi should be pulling a nice pay check per film...Oh those Jews really jewed on the budget… how this nig playing the most iconic superhero in comic book history and they gave him less than 7 figs off ripped.. yo Hollywood something else.. I would hate to see what they paid the brother in the film
