Generally mixed reactions. The “very silly” tone has been divisive, with some loving it and others hating it.
The movie has an episodic structure, like a series of interlocked short stories rather than one continuous narrative.
David Corenswet is good as Superman; his performance has been described as similar to Brandon Routh’s in Superman Returns.
Nicholas Hoult is good as Lex Luthor, but overacts frequently, especially when Luthor gets angry.
Rachel Brosnahan steals the movie as Lois Lane and has excellent chemistry with Corenswet.
Krypto has an important role, but felt “artificial” and “tacked on”.
Lex Luthor’s sidekicks Eve and Otis are fun but superfluous.
There is a major subplot about Lois and Clark investigating Luthor’s involvement with an armed conflict in Eastern Europe.
There is a comedic subplot about Eve, a bombshell supermodel, falling head-over-heels in love with Jimmy Olsen, who can’t stand her.
There is a comedic subplot about Mister Terrific trying to feed Krypto.
Someone says "I'm Superman, bitches!" (Presumably not Superman).
Despite the massive cast, the movie balances all characters well.
Most of the scenes in the trailer are from the first act of the movie.
An A-lister actor makes an uncredited cameo as Superman’s Kryptonian father Jor-El (rumored to be Tom Cruise).
The CGI during the kaiju fight and the scenes at the Fortress of Solitude was rough, but will likely be touched up for release.
No post-credits scenes, though they could add some for release like how Marvel usually does.
Current runtime is 140 minutes
