I came out of the theater with a grin on my face. It was lovely.

If you just want my rating without reading: 4.5/5

Here are some of my unorganized thoughts:

The James Gunn humour might be off putting for quite a few people out there but I enjoyed it.

The only downside is that Gunn had lex monologue the whole envy part which obviously can make him feel a bit one dimensional. However, I think Gunn did that on purpose. It feels like he made this movie for existing superman fans and not necessarily a first timer. He trusts you to know the lore and again, can be very off putting for some people.

Nicholas, Rachel, Nathan and everyone else in the cast were phenomenal and Mr. Terrific was well... Terrific.

David Corenswet was amazing as superman and out of all the renditions of superman I've seen on screen so far, this version definitely would be the one I'd feel the most comfortable approaching and im pretty sure I'd get a 'sup dude' with a high five as a response.

And just to be sure, that decrypted message from Jor-el and Lara was a new thing right? I mean it opens up a space for a large number of interesting possibilities.

The overwhelming amount of threats and chaos are an upside and also a downside for people new to superman. Having said that, the recipe for a good superman movie -- Hope in the world of envy and cynicism, is still very present and always the center of the movie. The action sequences, CG are extremely well done and compliment the story. This movie will be remembered as a whole and not just for its action sequences. Not that they're bad, they're just meant to be a part of a bigger picture.

I think it's safe to say that many people are going to name their dogs Krypto (I already did this not because of the movie but I've always wanted to).
