This ending was exceptional. It stayed true to the central themes, message, character and charm of the show. While elements of it felt a little rushed, the director & writers obviously worked with the time they had from the studio to write a fitting and satisfying conclusion to the story they set out to tell, and I can't think of a more fitting ending to the show. It focused on the human qualities and characteristics that make Clark/Superman super. Exceptional performances from Tyler Hochelin and surrounding cast made for a truly heartfelt send off for the series, with the positive message and themes of the show resonating throughout its 4 year run!

This film forgoes depth of character and plot in favor of flashy CGI. Seriously, more buildings getting destroyed than a Godzilla movie. After about 30 minutes of watching Superman et. Al crash into buildings, it kinda loses its flavor. Most renditions of Superman have him purposely & consciously avoiding battles in cities & around people to minimize civilian casualties, but this one steers for them. I suppose they had to find a way to compete with the Avengers for greatest battle laying waste to a metropolis.

I didn't mind the different version of Lois & Clark, the unique take on the backstory was interesting, but shortly after establishing the backstory this film veers hard into the "mindless action" persuasion of superhero movies, a. La Marvel. It's far from the best rendition of Superman. For a more nuanced take on the character, try Superman & Lois. This film flirts with the idea of Clark being a role model for humanity, but it's both shallow and hit over the head of the audience quite hard. Other versions show him really grapple with what that means and how to live a moral life and use his abilities for the betterment of mankind. Even Smallville had a more complex take on the character. This is more of "Superman fights bad guys" for half of its runtime.

I truly don't understand all the praise in these reviews. Many sound like they were written by teenagers. The movie wasn't bad as a mindless blockbuster or popcorn flick, but Citizen Kane it is not.

This is where this series goes off the rails. The 1st ep was interesting (if slow), mainly because it was at least somewhat factual. Ep2 makes ludicrous claims that Russian operatives snuck into the electronics bay and somehow took control of the plane (even though there's no way to control it from the electronics bay), turned off the transponders but then "spoofed" the Inmarsat data to mislead investigators, even though they had no way of knowing that data would later be used to estimate position. All on the hope that a missing plane would distract the world from Crimea (which it didn't... how does a missing plane cover up an act of war?) Don't bother with eps 2-3, absolute conspiracy theory trash. Ep3: the US did it (not kidding) to stop China from getting some unproven mystery cargo, and got the UK and Australia to assist in the coverup (again, NOT KIDDING).
