I wonder if there is a more meaningful metric. I contributed 2 views I guess. One was for about 2 minutes and I couldn’t stand it, then I tried again the day later for about 30 seconds and had the same feeling. It’s just not for me but I’m glad it’s found success.

You did well to follow your instincts. Its an objectively bad movie due to mediocre storytelling / plot, poor character development and mid acting. Superman and Lois had as much chemistry as a fart and a moment of silence. I get that they were going for family friendly but you still need interesting things to happen.

Its an objectively bad movie due to [ these three absolutely subjective reasons ]

Please don't do to "objectively" what's already been done to "literally."

That's a fair critique. It is subjectively an uninspired cashgrab as most recent superhero (religious figures for the spiritually starving but empty) movies are.

I disagree with your assessment, but I respect you for being more measured with your review.

Film was awful. On all fronts. Huge disappointment.

I get it. I thought it was ok to entertaining but not as resonant as I had hoped.
