Premise: Superman must reconcile his alien Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as reporter Clark Kent. As the embodiment of truth, justice and the human way he soon finds himself in a world that views these as old-fashioned.
Review: I saw an advanced screening of this movie on Tuesday thanks to Prime and Fandango. The theater was packed. People excited for the new direction of DC with James Gunn not only as President, but also co-writing and directing the first film.
The film is fantastic. It is funny, it is fun, it is filled with great cameos. I only really have two critiques: There are some cheesy parts and the way that midwestern people are conveyed is wild. I am not a midwesterner but the way that Clark’s parents are portrayed is crazy.
Any, Nathan Fillion is a great addition. I hope we get 10 Green Lantern movies and five seasons of a show starring him as this character that has not done well in the cinematic world before.
Nicholas Hoult plays a great billionaire piece of shit who will use all of his resources to get what he wants. The cast of The Daily Planet always has to be strong in the Super Man universe and it executed it well here.
