Back from watching the new Superman (2025) movie in town, that was a giggle!

I enjoyed the movie. Specifically it had a couple of interesting fight scenes; both were in the background to some degree, one completely (with a Lois/Clark conversation in the foreground), and the other partially, with the main focus on Lois' reaction to the super powered fight happening around her.

There were a few good jokes, not too much hetro propaganda, good music picks (and clever use of music to highlight scenes).

The movie loses a point because I didn't like the portrail of the Kents. I'm used to The Lois and Clark adventures where Martha (especially) and John (somewhat) are both thoughrouly practical people who can take whatever life gives them and come out stronger. The Kents in the movie felt delicate and vounerable (which, I guess next to Clark they are) in a way that felt deeply unsafisfying.

I'm also not sure about the casting for Superman himself. The actor made a good Clark, but Superman felt soft (but Henry Cavel is a hard act to follow).

Taking about casting, Lex Luthor was excelently creepy, nailed the role, and Nathan Fillian was an inspired choice for Guy Gardener (Green Lantern, who is canonically unlikable).

Overall a good movie. Standard "going to the movies" problems (can't pause to go to the loo, can't mute the adverts, can't get proper comfy in the seat) plus the car park under the cinima had opressivly low ceilings and cost £5 for 2-3 hours.
