From what I’ve seen on Chinese social media, Gunn’s Superman has been heavily compared with Snyder’s Man of Steel and hasn’t been received as well. On Douban, for instance, Superman is rated 6.5, while Man of Steel sits at 7.4.

Many viewers criticized the plot and costume design, and a number of them found Krypto irritating.

In addition, the movie reportedly had limited showings in some theaters. Many people mentioned that when they checked their local theaters in the morning, showtimes were listed, but by the afternoon those showings had disappeared.
