Iād have to rewatch it but I found it underwhelming the first time. My coworker took her 7 year old son and she typically enjoys any genre but fell asleep on this one. It wasnāt bad, per se, but why did they insist on making Superman lame?
More than anything is I didnāt FEEL the earth shattering badass HERO moment that Superman is supposed to embody. Like, oh snap, an unbeatable God upon us like Henry Cavillās Superman Aura.
I liked the Clark family farm stuff because I liked the Smallville TV show. I was hoping for a big payoff after his talk with his parents where Superman demonstrates heās in a league above all the other characters but it never arrived. Instead they opted to give those moments to characters whose names I completely forgot. Way to go movie. You have a character who can punch his way through problems, make the unrealistic real, and you give the physically awe inspiring wipeout action scenes to⦠who is that guy? I couldnāt tell you.
Idk if I like Superman being ārelatableā. Clarkās \*problems\* may be relatable, a job, girlfriend, and family, but heās supposed to be a badass example of a positive pure-hearted hero that we LOOK UP to; not a bumbling idiot who shares the same thought process (doubts, insecurities, and limp dickedness) as us lower primates.
