He makes good points. This is the first breakdown of why maybe the movie isn't that good other than "too many explosions"
I'm not sure how much themes like that are important to how enjoyable a film is than say, it's artistic merit.
That being said I still love this movie

This is the first breakdown of why the movie isn't good other than "too many explosions".

Yep. It doesn't work and makes no sense even on paper.
Combine it with the messy direction and very questionable visuals...
Aaaaaaand you'll get the most overpraised cinematic failure of this decade.

P.S.
I had nothing agaisnt the idea behind that movie, it could be great.

I think only one person overpraised it though? Who else did?

Even if say the movie is mediocre, then you are overpraising it.

I watched some of it, and while he seems to make good points, I think he also misses the point by miles in some areas.
The bit about the scene where Clark is a child and his vision and hearing powers go nuclear on him isn't there just to set up that Zod starts tripping once his mask is removed.
It is about giving depth to Clark, all that he had to go through to try and fit in. That scene sets up the loneliness of Superman, and gives meaning to his decision of siding with humanity, despite of all he's suffered, or maybe because of it.

If the reviewer didn't get that, then I really don't have much faith in the rest of his analysis.

1. Clark's strugle with his powers and "fitting in" - two very basic things when it comes to Superman's origin story
2. Him wondering around the country from jobs to jobs - that's what sets up the loneliness, not a reminder of him being different
3. That particular scene has nothing to do with his reasons of siding with humanity *otherwise it's just another poorly shoved Christ reference*

If the reviewer didn't get that, then I really don't have much faith in the rest of his analysis.

By this logic, I need to ignore your opinion from now on...

She's going to look great on screen.

 

[Sundowner]

She looks pretty good

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

Yep, looks good.

 

[jye4ever]

Good enough.

Better than Palicki, and Palicki is smoking hot, so I don't say that lightly.

Gadot's official photo from last year already sold me on her.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

It's a good outfit. I wish she wasn't wearing high heels, but at least the rest looks cool.

Yeah I think she looks milestones better than Palicki.

 

[jye4ever]

Did I mention that Palicki is hot.

 

[karamazov80]

Looks OK, but they need to make it even more drab and washed out. Otherwise, people may get the wrong idea and think this is actually supposed to be some bright, hopeful symbol of a character.

 

[**16k**]

Don't you think it's a bit we the only images of her we have are drawings? No real photos except the first one? Maybe she doesn't look that great after all...

Movie is still almost a year away and her part will probably be 1 minute long, so they need to keep her a secret for now.
