The Lego movie and the Lego Batman movie are unironically amazing. Animation ≠ only for kids.

I think so. But, i'm in the minority. I dislike everything they did after it, but MoS was very solid and I liked the shift in tone. They should've just made MoS2 and he could've developed towards the more hopeful Superman. But, w/e

It wasn't that the plot was shallow, it didn't even make sense. And neither did the resolution. Without spoilers, they tie up a major plotpoint and it isn't even addressed. They offer a few strong characterisation moments for SM, then quite literally contradict that characterisation 30 minutes later. They set up SM character flaws, but show zero development in those areas. Those flaws are setup to be the core of his romantic conflict. A romantic conflict, which like the primary story arc, is resolved without resolving or even addressing the flaws that initially drove it. The more I think about this movie, the more I feel like it's an insult to the audience's intelligence. It spits out issue after issue and bumrushes you with plot/hype moments in the hope that you're knocked off balance long enough that you forget what you just watched. I feel like the high audience scores have been manipulated. Because, even with the best will, I can't see how viewers would rate this as more than "it was fine". I have more criticisms that I could make, but I feel like they wasted enough of my time with the movie.

My wife passed on the movie and I told her she didn't miss much. I can understand this was geared towards a younger audience, but it really didn't make me "feel" anything. In Lex Luther's "Camp" where he had his portals, there were college kids waking around in beach attire just like "wtf is going on" like you had no idea your CEO was unhinged. You're building black hole portals on a beach next to a city of civilians… It just didn't make much sense to me. Maybe i'm missing the point.

There were so many issues with this film, I'm surprised that they had the confidence to market it so heavily - it felt like they were confident in their end product. Which is why I bought tickets. I'm kinda pissed off, because I realise now that they did that deliberately to try and bluff their way into a strong opening weekend before word of mouth kills their box office. I feel a bit conned. That's quite cynical for a team that's made a movie focused on a symbol of idealism and hope. I don't think it's an issue of target demographics either, the issues with the movie (in my view) are objective observations on the writing, performances and overall direction. It's not just a matter of taste (which I would be way less harsh in my criticism for), they produced a total lemon and sold it as lemonade.

I just rewatched MoS and it is still my favorite. I don't understand the idea the Cavill was not a "hopeful" Superman. Especially the scene where Jor-el says, "You can save her. You can save all of them." What ruined MoS was Batman v Superman. They should've kept Cavill in his own universe and expanded on his villains. Lex, Doomsday, Brainiac, Mongul, and Bizarro.

Its hard to believe a movie is as bad as man of steel.

It's a better Superman movie just because it's not a Batman movie wearing a Superman skin.
