I don't know about all that. I saw this last week with some friends and we walked out of there feeling like it wasn't a bad movie, but something seemed too familiar and a bit off. We were discussing it and one of my friends figured it out: this movie was largely a remake of Superman IV.
That's an odd consensus. I've never seen it, but going off the summary, it maybe shares some similarities to one minor plot point in the 2025 movie, of which there are many, many others, most of which are commentary on (if not outright emulations of) very current affairs and trends that a movie from the 80s wouldn't compare to at all.
Your criticism is you think it seemed like a recap of a movie that came out almost 40 years ago? So what part is a recap? The Justice Gang? Krypto? Ultraman? The portal to a pocket dimension? The only plot point I can see that's remotely similar is Ultraman and Lex Luthor. Nothing else is similar. Even if it was a shot for shot remake you're talking about a movie that came out over 3 decades ago. I definitely feel that movies should be under scrutiny, especially remakes and reboots, but even this is a bit much for me.
Damn, dude, you saw the part where I said it wasn't a bad movie, right? I was just sharing what I thought, not attacking everyone who loved the movie. Sorry for having an opinion, I guess.
Nah man, explain your point cause it makes no sense to me either
