We liked Superman. But it was too long and it made me miss Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman, Ned Beatty and Valerie Perrine Krypto stole the movie. The supporting characters were better than the main action: Nathan Fillion as the Green Lantern, Hawk Girl Mr. Terrific, Drunk Party Supergirl. Wendell Pierce was terribly underutilized. I’m going to start walking around with a big cigar in my mouth. If this is the start of a DC Cinematic Universe, I’m there for it.

I was planning to see this in the theater — our first theater movie in at least five years. But I backed out at the last minute. And I’m glad I did. It’s more comfortable to see it at home, where we can take breaks and enjoy our own snacks.
