Superman
You know, usually when I go to the theaters, I write longer reviews but for this one, I really don't feel like it. So here goes...
A big part of this movie was about a video having the last half cut off and restored, but all I was thinking about is that the FIRST half of this needed to be recut. I was bored to tears during a certain interview and I did not care at all for it's "efficiency." Don't get me wrong, I like skipping a lot of Supermans story but it just felt half assed to draw out this one scene. It took me a good long while to enjoy this one.
But I did like this for the most part. It's goofy in all the right ways, and felt very "comic booky!" I think Superman, Mister Terrific, and Guy Gardner were all amazing characters. Lex was a bit much but helped with comic book feel. The action was pretty fun, and I enjoyed the special effects.
My last thing is I really hope that we get to see more of this. I feel with some work, this franchise could find it's stride. I will probably watch this again when I can and give a spoiler review.

Mini Review: The movie focused on a restored video, but the first half needed recutting. Some scenes dragged, especially an interview, making it hard to enjoy at first. Still, it’s goofy and very comic-booky. Superman, Mister Terrific, and Guy Gardner shine; Lex is over the top but fits. Action and effects were fun. I hope we see more of this franchise—it has potential.
