I do agree with what [USER=57073]@Epic Meepo[/USER] said about there being a lot of exposition. ...a lot of telling instead of showing.I think it was an okay movie for a Sunday matinee. Had it been competing against something else, I may have chosen a different movie. But I don't feel upset about spending money to see it. Sometimes the movie felt shallow. I was interested in learning more about the robots and various other things in the movie, but everything was stretched so thin that it felt as though nothing really got enough attention to be given substance. Nathion Fillion did a good job at playing Guy Gardener. He found a middle ground between being cartoony in some of his motivations and overacting. It worked.I'm not sure if Hawk Girl's screeching was supposed to be funny or not. I laughed because the closeups of her face reminded me of Birdman, but I don't know if that's the intent. In general, I liked the portrayal of Lex Luthor (even if it did occasionally border feeling like a watered down Doctor Doom). I think the actor did very well with the material he was given. I'm not entirely sure if the movie really explains his deep hatred of Superman. I think that the movie probably did, but I didn't catch it. I dozed off few a couple minutes in the middle, so I may have missed it. The least interesting part of the movie was Superman. The performance wasn't bad. I think the actor did well with what he was given. But something felt off. I feel like you could have almost not had Superman in the movie at all, and you'd have largely the same movie.</blockquote>
