Anyone remember when people complained that “Spider-Man 3” had too many characters, and it was just Sandman, Venom and New Goblin?

You know what I love about this superman movie? Superman just wants to save and be good. No random moral gray area, he wants to save people (and a giant alien lizard) because it's what you should do.

I feel like Drinker really doesn't understand Lex Luthor's motivations. It's not about ruling the world or beating Superman physically. It's about beating Superman in every way possible, humiliating him on the world stage, and proving Luthor the better man in every way possible. The conversation between Superman and Luthor at the end of the movie pretty much tells it to the audience straight up, Luthor's ego cannot stand the existence of Superman.

Why do people want this movie to fail so badly. The hate for this movie feels forced.

James Gunn understands what comics are. Cheesy, sometimes ridiculous that take themselves seriously. This movie feels like a comic book that became a movie. Finally

Gunn clearly tried to make this a comic book movie. And I loved it.
