Although there are a few light moments (that all worked for me), it isn't even in the same galaxy as the Donner films in terms of style. It was much more of a grown-up movie than I expected. People die, it's very science fiction at times (Krypton is freaking alien, it took a bit to get used to) and while the narrative jumps all over the place, nothing ever really felt rushed. It just felt...right.
And this may be the most origin-y origin story I've ever seen. I can't wait to see where the franchise goes from here.
I also can't wait to see it again in a few days. |
I respect your opinion, and trust me I wanted to love this movie, but all the emotion it has feels completely unearned to me.
Like I said before emotionally hollow. Also, when the like three times they tried to introduce some levity, they had established such a morose world and hero that their attempts felt jarring. I have a free pass to see this again, and I doubt I will.
