My Expectations : 7/10
My Rating : 7/10

My first comment on this movie is that David Corenswet has the most generic face of all the actors who have played Superman till now. His face is so generic, if I saw him in the street right now, I may not recognise him. Kind of like bollywood actresses from the 70s and 80s. So I don’t understand why the movie even bothered to make up the eye-hypnotise thing to explain why no one recognises Superman is Clark Kent.

Otherwise the movie is a departure from the last Superman series, bright, funny and cheerful, instead of dark and broody. There’s no long-winded origin story and one gets dropped straight into the first action sequence, of which there are many.

The antagonist is Lex Luthor, who is not a Kryptonian but a very smart (as per him) weapons manufacturer, something on the lines of Tony Stark who has his employees fly around in Iron Man like suits.

The Justice Gang add a funny side to the story. The portals are really cool and the scenes are quite stylistic. There’s a part-Stitch, part-Gojira creature and the typical Eastern European despot trying to invade a moslem Central Asian country. Krypto was the most adorable part of the movie.

One thing that is common with the previous DCEU movies is that entire cities get destroyed like nothing.

Overall a decent watch. Much better than the recent MCU offers.
