8/10
Unspectacular, but competently made and entertaining
27 March 2021
I liked this film when I first saw it in 2017. It was nothing mind blowing, but it was solid entertainment.

After watching the rather good 4 hours Snyder cut, I decided to revisit the 2017 version for a comparison. I was fully expecting to not like it anymore, but strangely enough, I did. It's still a by the numbers comic book movie, but it's still competently put together, and it's still entertaining.

In fact, there's a few scenes and music cues in this version which I prefer to the Zack Snyder cut, and I'll take this version of Superman any day.

The last 20 minutes is just CGI muck though, and there's nothing here which is particularly deep, meaningful, or even has much purpose.

Regardless, it's a solid piece of fluff which I still thoroughly enjoyed.
