It's not a bad movie, it's not great either. I was probably expecting too much because Gunn directed it.

One thing I wouldn't have ever described it as is 'Woke'. Yeah, Superman seemed to have a pretty decent (if simplistic) take on the Israel/Palestine analogues, and didn't seem overly eager to kiss the governments ass- but the underlying power structures of oppression aren't really examined.

If we are using the word as MAGAts have attempted to redefine it (anything they don't like), then yeah I guess it could be 'woke'. It has "females" with opinions, people of color and foreigners treated as human beings, a very mild critiques of Israel, an old farmer and his wife that weren't automatically portrayed as closed minded fascists simply because they were 'country folk'. etc.

The only semi interesting question I left the movie with is

spoiler"Was the message from Kal-El's parents doctored by Luthor" My guess is that it was.

Someone should force them all to listen to Superman Vs. The clan of the fiery cross!
