Ultimately that was a weird film. Which is to say A LOT was happening. Breakdown YouTube channels are going to have their hands full. But importantly it was fun. There are lots of moments that I enjoyed.

My highlight has to be Superman and Lois having a serious conversation after Superman is accused of trying to form a harem. The background where Guy Gardner is just whacking a space being. Perfect balance of serious and comedy.

Overall however the just appreciated how we are clearly just placed in this universe. We learn so much about different characters and who exists and what powers they have, but despite or being so much, I think they do a great job of having it all work and make sense.

Take kryptonite for example. We learn that it exists, it weakens Superman but supposedly it's all gone. But Lex has a solution. Then Superman is out in his cell and we see this person/creature just sitting there. Oh! It's Metamorpho! Of course Lex has him and has this series of prisons and has his son. Each of those is a plot line of their own, but in this film we're just going and I think it works.
