James Gunn and several of the cast including superman are of unmentionable heritage.

From the outset superman is pathetic, he is weak, he is insecure, he is childish and lost, the dog is ridiculous and lois engages in bickering and superman indulges her. He doesn't recognize it, he doesn't rise above it. Richard Donner's 1978 Superman played to messianic themes, Superman is Jesus. This movie very clearly tried to make you lose faith in that excellence. It despises that excellence and hope just like Lex Luthor does. It Makes him just another "metahuman". It emphasized that he gets his power from the sun which is sun worship. Everything to tear down the Jesus figure and it's hard to believe that's accidental from James Gunn. Especially in the current climate. The smartest guy in the movie is black.

But she couldn't save this movie anyway.

For almost the entire movie she is only shown facing away from the camera. One of many very questionable directing decisions.

It's a bottle movie, the scope is extremely limited, obvious and forcing annoyingly dumb decisions by the characters and painful prolonging dialogue to stay within the confines of the bottle movie premise. It could be used for the stage as is.

The movie is not even run of the mill cliche agency assassin unimaginative, it's a film student level script, one without a future in cinema.

It is curious that in the arena of well funded movie making that better scripts cannot be mustered. You'd think that even chatGPT could do better in 10 seconds.

It's a little formulaic, a little limited credibility but actually quite watchable. It's forgettable but watchable. I actually completely forgot it and then watched again and realized it was pretty ok.

It is what it is.
