I’m one voice of many at this point so I’ll just drop a few non spoiler points about what I liked and didn’t like about the Superman reboot…
- No connection to any of the previous versions. Acted like this was a brand new story. Good call.
- Extraordinarily biased but seeing Clark sport Jayhawk and Royals gear at different points was a nice small touch.
- The casting of the parents. Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Russell Crowe. All aces in my book.
Now what I did not care for…
- Almost unavoidable with the Boy Scout, but the fight scenes pulled me out some. They already looked video gamey, but then they just ran long.
- The destruction of Metropolis was inevitable, but it still felt a little too 9/11-ish to me.
- ‘Welcome to the Planet, Clark.’ (major eye roll)
Overall though, I think they’re off to a good start. Now that the foundation is laid down, let’s see where they go with the sequel.
