I attended the Superman red carpet premiere. Ask me anything.
First off, everyone looked super, especially Nick Hoult’s leather pants. But I was pissed that I missed the first part of the movie because I thought there would be 20 minutes of trailers but I guess they don’t do that at premieres. What the hey dude, give people some warning next time. The Lois and Clark relationship stuff is fantastic. Top notch. Wish we had more of that and less action. Same with the parents. Could’ve done without the whole political war with Bulgaria stuff or the pocket dimension. That just really put the movie into the weeds. Liked Jimmy having an affair with Mutant Toes and Krypto.
Spoilers inside…

People didn’t like Jimmy Olsen being shot in the head but it happens again here and that kinda ruins the mood of the movie. They didn’t have to do that. They also didn’t have the shot of Clark leaning in, lowering his voice and saying “Miss Lane.”
After all the hysterics of “WHERE’S THE DOG?!” and it isn’t even his rescue dog? It’s a foster situation which takes the sail out of things. Hawkgirl is a crazy screecher and murderess. Jimmy is a player. Why are all these kids just hanging around on the streets in a dangerous attack zone? Don’t stand a few feet away from where a Kaiju might step on you! Do they not have parents? Why are kids on the frontlines of war? Why are all the people working in Lex’s office okay with mass murder of a city’s population?
Loved when Topher Grace showed up in a surprise cameo at the end in a crazy wig.

Why on earth would a person expect a trailer at a premiere?

They had trailers at the Top Gun premiere. Most were for Scientology but still.

Several reviews have declared Hoult as the weak link. Please confirm or deny.

Hoult is excellent in this. The only part I didn’t like was when he shot the falafel seller in the head when he was only trying to help Superman get up. The message Gunn is sending is don’t help. The only weak link is Dora the Explorer and Cat Grant and Beck Bennett. They had nothing to do.

Supergirl as a total drunk was a different take.

Watched the French cam version this morning and it was... fine? So many things that worked, but then oh so many that didn't as well. And the relentless jokeyness was too much, I can see now why the British reviewers didn't like it. Favourite part was obviously the dog, least fave was the goofy Martha and Fillion's chewing gum, although I had many problems with the shitty line delivery from two of the metahumans as well. The hungover Supergirl at the end did not land for me AT ALL, sorry Milly Alcock.
All in all, a mixed bag if I ever saw one.

Nathan Fillion? Really ? That's the best they could do in all of Hollywood?
