I'd usually just rather read comic books, and inaccurate costumes tick me off. That's a me issue. So, I haven't watched a lot of comic movies as a result. I've watched some, and usually felt disappointed. Probably my favorite comic book movie was Watchmen, which wasn't perfect, but was about as good as it could have been. I really thought it did the comic justice. Not sure how people feel about it as a whole. I like comics, I read comics, but I don't frequent comic message boards the way I do RPG ones. Anyway, this was right up there with Watchmen for me. Not perfect, but close enough. I loved it. I teared up a couple times. Like when Clark was talking to his dad.It was nice to see an aspirational Superman, an ideal. Feels like what we need in these times. I also felt like the President of Boravia was kind of a pastiche of Trump and Putin. And the whole Boravian aggression bit, well...The troll farm staffed entirely with monkeys was hilarious.I liked the Justice Gang more than I thought I would. Especially Mister Terrific. But they were all great. Guy Gardner came off like a less annoying Deadpool type of wiseass.Overall, I really dug it, and I'd go see it in theaters again, something very rare for me.The CGI bugged me a little, the dog and baby. Would have liked to have at least seen some practical shots of a real dog.Edit: I also thought there were a couple of clever and subtle callbacks to earlier Superman films. The superbreath, and Superman basically fighting himself.</blockquote>
