James Gunn ‘Superman’ Pro’s & Cons





Pros: 

  • Just jumping into this world feet first 
  • Superman, Lex and Lois were excellently cast!!
  • Nathan Fillion. Mr Terrific was surprisingly good 
  • Krypto
  • Lighter tone. Not dark and broody like Man of Steel
  • Superman robots and Fortress of Solitude 
  • Bright and the world feels lived in
  • Jimmy Olsen ladies man: I like it. He could get his own movie 


Cons:

  • Not long enough 
  • Ma and Pa Kent: poor casting 
  • Superman birth parents sent him to conquer Earth? WTF? 
  • Valley girl Supergirl…not liking that take…
  • Swearing. I may sound old but Superman should be a family friendly 
  • Needed more time with Daily Planet supporting cast. They felt like set decorations and not fleshed out characters 
  • Lex was too emotional/bitchy. I would have preferred he was more cold/detached (sociopath)
  • The score: why not get John Williams come back? 

Also: 



Rest in peace Hulkster! As a 80’s kid watching WWF Hulk Hogan was my favourite. :(
