WARNING - SPOILERS BELOW
Here are some specific thoughts that ran through my mind during the course of the film as a stream of consciousness:
- Off to a good start with this intro.
- Obligatory reference to how I like this animation style.
- Wait, Sullivan? Is that Chloe?
- "I know what to ask these guys." Cut to: "Are you the real Superman, like, for real?"
- Nice ice cream reference.
- Lois at the cocktail party is a knockout.
- I still don't like Rainn Wilson as Lex Luthor.
- "I have the shot" hahahaha
- I don't remember Darkseid being any part of the Death of Superman story
- Dafuq Eric. Leaving Becky out to dry like that.
- WORLDS COLLIDING! A SEINFELD REFERENCE! LMAO
The movie's a good watch, but it's not as good as I was hoping it would be, nor as good as its predecessor. I'd recommend it for anyone interested in this series, yet not as enthusiastically as I would some of the others. The action set piece at the end felt like it just went on and on, and I would have rather had some more character moments instead. The Darkseid stuff felt shoehorned and bland.
See It or Skip It = See It!
