I was looking forward ot seeing this, and I'm glad I watched it. Here are my thoughts.
The casting is excellent. I really enjoyed David Corenswet, and a shout out to Wendell Pierce! Rachel Brosnahan also did a great job.
One of the things that has stood out in previous Superman movies, the good ones anyway, is that the ordinary world is portrayed with this superbeing as a guest, a visitor, an outsider who is on the inside as a force of good. In this movie there are outlandish special effects monsters that, for me, spoiled the whole point of a Superman movie; Superman helping the common good while relating to "real life." The movie would have been much better without the special effects monsters. The villain of the piece is always Lex Luthor. While the portrayal was fine, Luthor's story line and silly high tech everything, diminished the movie.
All in all a fun film but it could have been better with a bit less whoop dee doo and a bit more humanity.

I've watched Modesty Blaise countless times since it came out. It's so fun, funny, satirical, laughing at itself, with lots of fun design, and silliness. It pokes fun at the world of international politics in ways that are still 100% relevant. Made during the cold war "Secret Agent" era, this movie is NOT about the US/USSR drama, which is refreshing. The casting is inspired, and I imagine it must have been a lot of fun to make; great locations, wild clothes, even some fight scenes! It's always surprised me that it hasn't become more popular, more well known. If you haven't seen it, check it out and enjoy!
