SMUAG:
Heavy superflop
Thank God the version released was James Gunn's edited one

Delacroix6:
His finger prints are all over the movie.
They can't deny it's not a James GONE cut.

SMUAG:
James Gunn still think say na play him come play

I have never seen a director/studio coming up with so much wack costumes like James Gunn

Maybe na money laundering Gunn dey help the current WB executives do. Cause what kind of cheap and cosplay costumes are we seeing...

SMUAG:
I agree on the bolded statement, but that alone shows Gunn was never that great nor that smart as a director...
A smart one will push out the director's cut if he was smart enough to know neither cuts will make the movie better - probably he thought the leaks will not get out there that he interfered and his cut happened to be the one officially released.
The genre is slowly dying and director like James Gunn is fasten it with the types of garbage movies he loves putting out. What Gunn is doing is no different from what the general audience is running away from - too much generic movies...

What excuse will James Gunn babies give us now that Superflop is going to digital just like her cousin did

TonySpike:
Superhero genre has outlived it's usefulness and is now at a completion.

TonySpike:
The costume looks like CW DC series type of costume.

Minemrys:
Looking at the film, the problem was basically execution. The story wasn't bad actually. I feel it should have been darker, sort of like the Nolan film vibe considering the theme.

I think people are still stuck with the Marvel formula, and it's what is killing DC films. In an effort to go for light-hearted and fun, it's become rather childish and silly.

TonySpike:
Actually, The Boys took a lot of inspiration from Snyder's cut but in a comedic and gritty manner. Formulaic is no longer in vogue.

Delacroix6:
I wonder how James GONE fans are going to try to cope with this.

Minemrys:
This means there's going to be a lot of writing and rewriting for Man of Tomorrow. We are about to get a totally different film as opposed to what we got in Superman and Supergirl. I'm counting on a knee-jerk reaction by WB now. And I believe that will be the last film that goes into production in the meantime until the Paramount thing is finalized.

They really need to change those suit designs. They should hire the costume designers that worked on Black Adam.

SMUAG:
Even my man, Hohenheim go don tire for him oga by now

Gunn is still hoping for thunder lightning to strike same spot twice

samistry:
Boss you never get update on gorilla grodd?

SMUAG:
Bro, Man of Tomorrow being good is one herculean task oh!
That movie was never green-lit because it was suppose to, it was hurriedly green-lit and pushed into production because our man, Gunn, can not believe what hit him on Justice gang and also he couldn't live with the failure of seeing his movie failed to perform
How are they going to reunite Superman and Lex in Man of Tomorrow after the so much hatred they claimed Lex have on Superman? I don't see a better writing to convince many of how Lex and Supes easily sort out their differences in a jiffy. Yes, on mere thought it looks way simple, but to make it look believable in movie is a whole different game entirely. I think the movie runtime won't give them that luxury to flesh it out properly - and this happens to be one of many hills this movie needs to climb for it to be anything close to epic...

SMUAG:
Bro, sometimes I just go on youtube, put my earpiece on, search any of the Snyder's DCEU movies and quietly relax and watch just to listen to the great scores!
Snyderverse DCEU scores were so epic! Not this I'm a punk rockstar scores James Gunn wants to suffocate his fans with Very childish scores with no serious moments at all.
Just try comparing the "war cry" from Wonder Woman when battling with Doomsday to that Hawkgirl pussycat scream then you go know say na play Gunn come play Na sabbatical leave guy man come do for DC

Minemrys:
From what I understand about Lex LUTHOR and Superman dynamic is that they aren't supposed to be friends or like each other. They are not going to hug or shake hands, so it's actually easy to have them work together for the good of humanity, Lex of course is doing it for show and has ulterior motives as well.

That said, MOT feels rushed but story and execution is what determines a great film. Right now, it's stacked up of characters that I wonder if James Gunn can tell a good story in under 2 hours cause he is quoted saying he doesn't like films that go too far beyond the 2 hour mark.

Also, has anybody noticed how lifeless Metropolis was made to feel in Superman? Or even Peacemaker's city didn't have life to it. I don't know why that is. Then again, everything just feels cheap and cartoonish.

Minemrys:
I hate what he did with Hawkgirl. To be honest, if you removed the Justice gang from the film, it would have been a better film. That and of course, change the Superman suit. They have to change that sh!t.

SMUAG:
The issue is not even with Gunn again but his fans, who think everything Gunn touches are all good and perfect...
If they can come out to call that ret@rd costume of Superman "great" then expect anything from them. A $225m movie budget yet the suit looked more like a cosplay one made for halloween. Everything about the universe looks way too cheap for one to take them serious.

SMUAG:
Yes, I get your point, but the reality on how Luthor was portrayed last, shown he has zero empathy for anything other than himself and there won't be that time to make it look believable for both to drop their differences in just their next meeting. They could've saved them teaming up for like their 3rd of 4th movies when the threat has become so immense that he has no other option than to work with Superman.

Minemrys:
Being a writer myself, there's actually a way to have them team up, but it's not going to be a team up in the traditional sense. An alliance of inconvenience of sorts that'll have them fighting each other at the end. Remember he is working with ARGUS now and indirectly the government in Peacemaker? Superman could be called in to supervise him after things blew back on ARGUS and to play both sides, Lex plays nice.

Minemrys:
That's what you get when your PR is good and you are friends with the right people. I mean, Michael Rosenbaum who isn't generous with his criticism on things, praised the Superman film and hyped up the Supergirl film even before the movie was put together lol.

It goes to show you that Hollywood is nothing but an industry for political agenda and sycophancy.

Gunn has goodwill unlike Snyder and from what I saw recently from Christopher Nolan, if he hadn't been Christopher Nolan and made his mark already, his latest film The Odyssey would have been torn to shreds. Most times it doesn't matter if you are a good filmmaker or not. All the more reason I don't take Hollywood films seriously anymore.

SMUAG:
Definitely yes on the bolded, however it looks very pleasing and convincing when it's on script. The challenge will be the execution, which for me I think it won't be convincing enough for the majority to say "yes Gunn did a great job to find a way to make their teaming up looked so real and not forced nor rushed".
