Well. Well. Well. It would appear something that I have been saying for years has come to pass.

Ice Road: Vengeance > Superman

Tell me that you know absolutely nothing about movies without telling me absolutely nothing about movies. This review is absurd and completely wrong. Holts lex Luther is the best screen luthor. Such a complicated and deep portrayal of the character and finally a luthor who is both brilliant and an actual threat to superman unlike previous bumbling or just plain stupid luthors of past movies. The chemistry between Lois and Clark had me gripping my wife next to me because it reminded me of some of the greatest love affairs literature has had to offer. They very much feel like a couple who is madly in love with each other. anyway, I could go on all day destroying every point of this review but it clearly wouldn't be worth it because it's just so lost. This isn't a perfect movie but it is seriously one of the best DC movies ever made.

You're entitled to your opinion, but I didn't think that Gunn did anything in the movie to deserve that payoff in the Lois and Clark relationship. If that relationship between Lois and Clark was supposed to be the heart of the movie, he shouldn't have wasted so much time on Superman's relationship with Krypto and that whole thing with Metamorpho and his baby. Totally had too many ideas that took away from any point that was trying to be made.

You might enjoy it actually... I always say that people who want to go see a movie should ignore reviews and go see them so they can make their own decisions. :)

You should probably upgrade your reading of critics because his critique is absolutely atrocious
