So I just watched the reboot of Superman by James Gunn.
As you would expect from James Gunn, his movies can be idiotic, comical, entertaining, and nonsensical.
I would say go see it on a cheap cinema ticket.
Spoilers..... I'll try to keep to a minimum.
Gunn has made Superman a Superpussy. He cries like a baby, bleeds like a stuffed pig, gets beaten the shit out of and is an emotional wreck.
I feel as if Superman should have seen a counsellor at some point in the film and popped to a pharmacy to pick up some tampons to stop all the bleeding.
Since when does Superman need to breathe air when he can fly in space? Yet in this film, they will starve him of oxygen and kill him!
Lex is a good character, and the actor plays him well, but why did he search the entire world for a strand of hair to clone when he could mop up some blood with all the bleeding Superman does?
Super Dog is excellent and does work well as a distraction from how weak the film is.
Green Lantern or the guy from Green Lantern Corps is a pisstake, and I wonder if DC did this on purpose, as Green Lantern is a running joke, hell even the other characters in the film take the piss out of him.
Other characters like Lois and Jimmy works well and I find Mister Terrific to be a good character. Hawkgirl was a weak character.
A lot of the comic fans are raving about this film and each to their own. I guess the film will make money and should break even if not more.
Question though, is this film enough to warranty a reboot of the DC universe and based on the way this film is portrayed, I think not. I could see another reboot a few years down the line.
