That Park Place has a summary of Daily Beast‘s early review. Is it a sabotage attempt? Maybe. That doesn’t mean I’m not going into this movie with my own concerns, and I’m certainly no defender of the Snyder movie that doesn’t even want to use the name “Superman” at any point in the movie. However, with so much focus on James Gunn’s directing in marketing, Gunn stating that he never really understood Superman, leaked plot points pointing to his career and issues with critics framing the focus, saying The Flash was a great movie, his general directorial style, working with Tom King to adapt his questionable take on Supergirl, stuff I’ve seen in the trailers, and even breed swapping Krypto to his dog, I’m not going into this with a positive attitude. Which was also what happened with Man Of Steel. At best I expect to say the same thing about Superman: Legacy that I did about Man Of Steel: a decent superhero movie but a bad Superman adaptation. I hope to be proven wrong, but we’ll see.
