What’s great about Superman: it has excellent audience exits of A- CinemaScore, 74% definite recommend and 86% positive on Comscore/Screen Engine’s PostTrak. Solid A CinemaScores from the Under 24 set including kids.

Now I am curious. Was it any good?

Also it's a kinda heartwarming reminder (to me) that loud people on social media aren't "normal" and don't reflect what normal people go out and do.

    I liked it but I didn't love it. To me, you will enjoy this movie if you are a fan of Christopher Reeves. For me however, what stopped me from loving this movie was that Superman had to share much of his screentime with imo too many characters.

    That being said, some side characters were good, others were great.

    Maybe I would have loved it if we had a longer movie with more of Superman.

    Either way, I'm going back to the theater on Tuesday 😅

    its biggest flaw is that it tries to juggle a lot of characters, so given that its a movie, some don't get enough screen time to flesh out.

    That's actually what I really enjoyed. The story stayed focused on Superman. It didn't try to flesh out secondary and tertiary characters too much and didn't need to. We knew enough and that's all that mattered.

    They did a very good job. Some of the C-list characters are pretty much wallpaper, but the top tier characters are all handled well.

    S-Tier - Superman, Lois, Lex
    A-List - Mister Terriffic, Krypto
    B-List - Metamorpho, Guy Gardner
    C-List - Hawkgirl, The Engineer, Ultraman, Jimmy, Cat, Steve, Perry, Eve Tessmacher, Ma & Pa Kent.

    Blink and you miss them: Otis, Supergirl
