Light spoilers ahead. We'll do another post or two on the movie getting deeper into details.
Well, kids. We made it. It's 2025, and we have a Superman movie.
We posted some details of our screening previously, right after Jamie and I took in the flick.
At the top - I'll say, a good portion of my life has been spent reading Superman comic books, watching Superman films, television, cartoons, etc... I've read non-fiction about Superman's storied history as a pop-culture figure and feel pretty confident in saying that I'm up to date on the character.
And, yet, it is very, very strange to see Superman come to the screen and feel less like an interpretation of Superman re-imagined for the big screen by people wanting to put their own stamp on the character, and instead get a movie that feels like someone took a really terrific event Superman comic run and said "this is what we're doing. On the screen. With a budget that's equal to roughly the combined GDP of Europe."
