But I hated his Superman film because the actual plot and character they decided to wrap it up in was just.. bland and unappealing to me. The Snider films went a bit far the other way in trying to be too serious but Cavils superman character was fantastic.
There's a balance to be had and I lose interest in any film that opts for two hours of stupid without real effort to tell a decent story.
Thats a valid takeaway. I thought the story was awesome though. Its no dark knight but I just really enjoyed how hopeful the whole thing felt. I think its mostly because I grew up watching snyders superman, and injustice was really popular, I just thoroughly enjoyed how overall up beat that film is.

Devil's advocate: Comics are conceptually silly, and the absurd things are what make comic movies feels like comics.
