I think this is what they're talking about when they say the Baseball Gods...

Okay, had a night to think it over... here's what I thought:
SpoilerFirst off, I want to apologize to any Snyder-verse people. You're going to HATE this.
Anywho....
No origin story~~ Thank god. Like Gunn says, we've all done this enough. And Gunn, god damn... what a good job he did. This feels like a comic book (complimentary) and not like a comic book movie (derogatory). Characters really get what their motivations are, it's shot beautifully. It's colorful, it's vibrant, and it's FULL of love.
Krypto was an incredibly good addition. Perfect for this incarnation of Kal-el. Because of course Superman would get really really mad if you did something to his(?) dog. Speaking of this edition, there's a rather big Kingdom Come tease, but we'd be at least 10 years before we get to that.
Nathan Fillion is great as Gardner. He's arrogant, ill-tempered, and thinks he's more of a leader than he is. If he's in Peacemaker for more than a scene, it's gonna be awesome. Nicholas Hoult gets the Lex Luthor character more than, maybe anyone in a live action movie. He's brilliant, he's unapologetically evil, ENVIOUS, and will risk everything to destroy Superman. It also speaks to Edi Gathegi's talent and performance that he gets third billing. Who would have thought a Superman movie would hinge on the performance of Mr. Terrific.
While the movie is filled with metahumans and super-powered beings, it does not feel over-stuffed. Luthor knows he's going to have to get outside help if he wants to kill Superman. The Engineer and Ultraman fit that need perfectly.
Clark gives monologues that are absolutely perfect for his character. Absolutely confirm him as the moral center of this universe and would just be weird coming from anyone else. He's not sarcastic, he's not cynical, he's not confused, he's fucking Superman.
"I thought we could take it to a zoo." Oh Clark.
I'll leave specifics and real spoilers to other posts. (Like hypno-glasses.)
Get out and see this on as big a screen as you possibly can.

Start warming up your HOT STOVE~
Nikola Jokic has told Denver he will not sign a contract extension this off-season.
This doesn't necessarily mean he wants out, but it's not the best of signs.
-
Yeah. That ruled.
More thoughts later, but Gunn nailed it.

Books will someday be written about Chris Pratt and how whitebread and pablum a human being can possibly get:
This movie will make at least half a billion dollars and no one will ever speak of it again a month after its release.

Liverpool's Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva have passed away in a car crash in Spain. Tragic. My condolences. YNWA.
Reports are Jota was driving, and likely speeding when his fatal crash occurred.

Oh, also, there are apparently two post credit scenes. I'm assuming one of them will be important and the other will be... I dunno Guy playing fetch with Krypto (which, honestly, would rule)
Tickets tonight for the early screening~! I'll set up a spoiler review later tonight.
Reminder, after Friday, it's no more spoiler tags so, enter at your own risk.

All my exes live in Texas, and Texas is a place I'd dearly love to be. But all my exes live in Texas, and that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee...
And we made it! It's All In week! But first...
Look.... out of the wrestling bubble... that thumbnail
... I dunno y'all. Maybe choose something else.
Rosanna's down in Texarkana, wanted me to push her broom. Sweet Eileen's in Abilene, She forgot I hung the moon....
Otherwise... performers are arriving in beautiful, bucolic... Dallas.
...well, Arlington. Same difference.
And Allison's in Galveston, Somehow lost her sanity... And Dimples who now lives in Temple's, got the law looking for me.
On tap this week... Lots and lots of stuff!
Remember we also get a Thursday Collision!
(Yup. Texas produces some crazies.)
Enjoy the week!

Lia Thomas will have her swimming records and titles stripped by the University of Pennsylvania.
Penn is doing this under an agreement with the current Presidential administration.
That's as far as I'll go with it because I don't want a visit from the FBI

I know you wanted me to stay, but I can't ignore the crazy visions of me in LA. And I heard that there's a special place where boys and girls can all be queens every single day...
Last week, an eventful week for AEW!
I'm having wicked dreams of leaving Tennessee, hear Santa Monica, I swear it's calling me. Won't make my mama proud, it's gonna cause a scene, she sees her baby girl, I know she's gonna scream...
And over the weekend, outside the ring, our AEW went all Daytona!
God, what have you done? You're a pink pony girl and you dance at the club. Oh mama, I'm just having fun on the stage in my heels...
It's where I belong down at the... Pink Pony Club!300 episodes of Dynamite! Can you believe it? WHAT A COUNTRY!
Here's what's on tap:
Sounds like fun! Just like dancing at The Abbey! (which you all know as...)
(Ever dream about bigger things? She's singing for you. A different kind of independence.)
Enjoy your Independence Day week!

SUPERMAN - 7/11/2025
in "COMIC BOOK" MOVIES & TV
Posted
Corenswet is pitch perfect as Clark. Earnest, funny, charming. You can feel the care and love for all pouring from him. He's the best Kal-el since Reeve.
Brosnahan does a great job with Lois. I had a thought about that scene in the trailer with her 'interviewing Superman' but I was wrong about it, once you see it I'll explain. She's a strong character without making Clark look like an idiot. Her stuff with the Justice Gang, and Mr. Terrific in particular, was very fun.
Hoult... part of it is the writing, but he's the best Lex I've seen on the screen. Unrepentantly evil, deeply angry, humorless, but just enough charm to let you see how people would be drawn to him.
This is the best Superman movie since Superman I & II, easily.
This is 100% a James Gunn movie, so you see the Gunn-isms in there. But this is an extremely tight movie. MCU movies as of late have had a lot of conversations that are just filler. Characters quipping, arguing, and generally not moving the plot forward. You can see how everything that's said keeps the story moving along and/or builds the characters on screen.
Enjoy your show!
