My pet peeves with James Gunn as director is his screwball comedic tones. Hated his GOTG series and his Suicide Squad iteration kinda mid. For better or worse it's like DC movies with Marvel's skin. This time around it's less annoying with the comedy, mind you this movie is 80's cheesy of Christopher Reeves's Superman. The take is returning Man of Steel as the ultimate blue boy scout.
The plot is of no importance, your usual nonsensical comic book storylines. It's the assemble cast that kept things moving with superb Lex Luthor, Clark Kent, Lois Lane and the awesome Mr Terrific. It's kinda All Star Superman rolls into Keith Giffen's 80s Justice League. I like that a bit. Distinctively this came across as palate cleanser to the usual MCU craps.
Not the greatest but definitely not the worst. Just don't expect a godly Superman of the Snyderverse, this is more in tone with the Silver Age comic book aesthetic. Don't get too carry away with sequel baiting ending. Hope it doesn't draw parallel to Mark Grayson in the Amazon show.
Hope this can make bank, really wants that The Authority movie made.
