7/10
A Superman movie that didn't disappoint

I've been waiting for Superman: Man of Tomorrow for a while now. It's light hearted and there's plenty of action to enjoy. I really like the animation choice they decided to go with this one. This style, and the style they had for Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse I wan't to see more of in the future of Superhero movies.

The movie focuses on Clark Kent coming into his own, both as a man and a hero. I saw Man of Steel back in 2013 and while there's still parts I like about that movie, these days I'd give it a 4 or 5 out of 10, it's not that great anymore. This is the type of Superman origin story I wanted from the get go. Instead of a full on invasion followed by an entire city being destroyed, this time we have Parasite, one of the most classy Superman villains, and moreover, the movie sets up the villain in a tragic way, adding serious moments that earn being serious. My only nitpick was the actor they chose to voice Lex Luthor, he just comes off as bland when he speaks. I also really enjoyed Lobo and Martian Manhunter in this movie, but have really good moments to shine, and they both have good chemistry with Superman in this. If there's a sequel to this movie, I want both of them to be in it.

This may not make any top 10 superhero movie lists, but it's better than a lot of bland or messy Superhero movies. I would definitely recommend this thing. Go give it a see.
