Just got home.
Have a thumping migraine.
I'll keep my review and thoughts to myself, lest the Mods permaban me here.

It's that good?
I have tickets for tonight and on my birthday, no less!!
Not surprising in the least.A ‘1’? There was absolutely nothing to like about the movie? Nothing?
Now we just need to wait for Kirk55555's review, and maybe one other regular hater I can think of, and we will know just how good this movie is.
As long as all the actors have the right ( oligarch-approved ) opinions on everything, he should be fine with it
Quoted for truth!
Given the source, that was my take as well.
One hour for me. Got out of a meeting early today and for laughs decided to see if it had an advanced showing, and it does. Lots of showings. Figured “What the hell?” Even though I bought tickets to an early Sunday show last week.
I have a feeling I’ll be wanting to see it again anyway. Lol
I'm on the bus home from the theater.
My mom showed the Chris Reeve movies to my brothers and me when I was just starting school. Back then I liked Quest for Peace the best, because at six you don't see the flaws, and it had a short runtime packed with lots of stuff six year old boys like.
Then, in my early teens I got into comics, though at that age I liked the darker, "more realistic" Batman better, helped by then current movies and the animated series. Roger Stern's novelization of The Death and Life of Superman brought back some of my earlier love for Superman, and when Joe Kelly used What's so Funny About Truth, Justice and the American Way? to hit me on the nose with the fact that Superman is more about his idealism than his powers, I finally decided that he was my favorite hero, a position he has not left since.
But the movies have been a case of "I love it, but..."
The Chris Reeve films and the ones before, on revisit, were hampered by technological limitations and depiction of the supporting characters that had become outdated, not to mention a romance that was not allowed to go anywhere.
SR was a lesser requel of the Chris Reeve movies with less technological limitations, but the rest was still bound to the Chris Reeve era.
MoS ... did require a lot of "they did more right than wrong" coping in my part
Now, James Gunn and his team have given me a Superman movie that even as a media-experienced 40 year old could love as much, if not more, than I loved Quest for Peace 34 years ago. With no but or asterisk.
And now I'm finishing this post walking home from the bus Stop, but I really needed to get this off my chest.

Man that was a good movie.
But I was surprised at how few people were there. It's a 230 person auditorium, and there was only I think a couple dozen.
Then again, it was a 3PM on a Thursday, and with advertisements saying it releases the 11th, not the 10th could also have put people off.

The screening I was at was not sold out, but still pretty packed. Though it might also have been because it was one of only two English-language screening scheduled for the entire first week, so whoever wanted to see the movie in English had to make it to one of these two screenings.
Little detail, not really a spoiler, so I won't bother with the tags: Jake Tapper appears in the background among several other newscasts, but I noticed in the end credits that he did not appear as himself, but as Jake Tapir. Because this is not our reality, but the DC Universe.
