My review of Superman:

Nothing super about him!

Too emotional for a man of steel

Got easily outfought by his adversies esp Lex and outshined by other lesser protagonists esp Terrific.
Superman should be the main protagonist in the movie(this was supposed to be his show) but he keeps being undermined by other supporting protagonists

Always....always needed help from others esp his dog

Constantly being undermined by an obviously portrayed 'masculine' and feisty Louis lane that is different from previous characters who were mostly feminine!
I'm not quite sure but there seems to be an intention from recent films to portray an emasculated male and an empowered/masculine female!

Overdose of comedy for a supposedly action packed DC hero!

Trying hard not to admit it but i see a political undertone in this movie though not too obvious and overshadowed by the comedy galore!

Some positives?
The dog was, hilariously,the hero of the film!
Important mention is Mr Terrific!
I never liked the use of Nicholas Hoult as lex luthor as I preferred a more bulky and menacing guy but I believe he actually did very okay!

My Overall rating for Superman:
5.7/10


My opinion oh😃😃

M3ghan part one is a solid 9/10 for me.

You know often times these movie cooperations keep warning or rather giving us a clue on the dangers of Ai, robotics and all and what the future might hold if the government don't put some kind of restrictions on how far humans can conduct experiment on Ai and Robotics.
This movie isn't just a movie but a clue for the future.
Perfect storyline, i loved how they focused on telling the story in a detailed manner with room for character development.

This is science and technology packed in one movie, a total blockbuster.

M3ghan part two is a solid 8/10 for me.

Just like the part one, i ask again!!! How far can humans go in this era of Ai and Robotics?
We know that there are lots and lots of advantages but what if, what if somewhere along the line, some people decides to use it for bad purposes?
Something that can actually affect the whole world?
The part two of this movie had me thinking deep.
How far can humans go in terms of Ai and Robotics without strict government restrictions?

This movie franchise is a blockbuster.

Memories of Murder (2003)........8.9/10

This is just a casual reminder how South Korea are the kings of Asian storytelling. Koreans are so damn good when it comes to personal stories to touch on human relationships, emotions and psyche.
They are just the perfect engineers at showing humanity and depravity simultaneously in one story.

The story revolves around a serial killer who preys on young women. A rat race ensues on how to stop him before he targets his next victim and rounding up the possible suspects.

Top tier storytelling. Really dark and gritty with some humour sprinkled in trying to raise your spirits from dwelling on how brutal this world is.

Bong Joon Ho don dey cook tey tey no be today....

Man might possibly surpass my favourite Asian director in Park Chan Wook in the future, has GOAT doings in his Asian fare.

One of the rare movies, I'd like to rewatch in the future someday.

TAh. They should just do a sequel from the one of Karl Urban. I totally love him as Judge Dredd. Dude was really Dreddful with the way he dishes out judgement. Hehehe

I guess WB is also smoking from the same pot Universal is since those ones put Jurassic World: Rebirth for VOD Aug 5th. 🙃🙃


I understand the logic sha....they gain a bigger share of the revenue pie.

People need to understand Gunn's perspective to making a movie. Gunn is a comic director. He loves having fun and giving a huge laugh and humor. He's always having one lovely character in all his movies that will carry the whole show and his vilian are always portrayed horribly the end.

All this trait ain't for superman or Batman. These are serious characters. That grows from their darkness to light through enormous pains and sacrifices. Gunn doesn't understand that at all. Snyder does and Christopher Nolan does.

The new superman, I won't watch it even though it's a success.

It's picking up momentum in Europe and LatAm. Asia are the only drawbacks with some markets performing well.

$1bn wasn't really the goal, but a hope it might do so if very well received and overperforms everywhere. It has to deal with the battered DC brand worldwide and bring back long lost fans. And it's doing its job so far.

A skewed narrative that is so on brand for a Snyder fanatic, like yourself to say tbh 😩.

Cuz if you have followed the JL animation or even picked up the comics, you would know that Batman roasting the JL, especially Superman is a common running gag. Infact go on YT, and such for Batman roasting and you will be amazed how funny it can get whilst still keeping on track with the narrative.

Point being, shît doesn't have to be dark all the time for it to have a popular appeal tbh, it just boils down to whatever the filmmaker wants, without stripping the vital elements that makes "Superman", Superman, which is self sacrifice and what not.

I loved "Man of Steel" too, probably more than you sef, but please leave the shackles of ZS, and breathe 😩.

And it's fine, if you don't wanna see this new flick, but am pretty sure, WB or DC, aren't loosing sleep if the mighty Noblestage007 from NL, isn't seeing it...so do you bro ✌🏿

I agree!
Nothing wrong with a few jokes here and there in order to occasionally balance with the movie's main intention but making it probably the main theme of a action hero movie like superman was a major let down!
Secondly,I hated the fact that Superman constantly got his azz kicked by virtually everyone as if he was a rookie Shazam in the movie!
The Clark character didn't also fair any better as his portrayal was that of an emasculated and emotional man compared to other previous superman characters!
Gunn is a good director but I can't just help feeling he was the wrong choice for the superman movie!
They will likely make huge sales but we will still have to wait for another DC superhero movie that really embodies the full attributes of the 'man of steel' tag!

SPOILER WARNING

Did we watch the same movie huh

Superman only lost to one person in the whole movie. Ultraman, his cl**e, who was being controlled by Lex, the genius billionaire who studied Superman and the way he fights and even developed his own counter moves to defeat him.

The movie even states at the beginning that Superman is the most powerful metahuman in the world and he has never lost a battle in over 3 years...until Ultraman.

Bro beat Ultraman and the Engineer, beat all of the Lex's goons in a few seconds. Escaped a pocket dimension with kryptonite poison in his body and saved many people when the city was falling apart.

So tell me again which movie did you watch huh
