I really didn't expect much considering it was condensing hundreds of pages comic book storyline into a little over an hour. But other than feeling rushed, it wasn't bad. What you have to do is temporarily forget that this story exists in other mediums, like video games and comic series, and take the movie on its own merits. Doing that, it stands on its own.
Superman's descent into madness feels rushed.
If nothing else, let this movie serve as the hors d'oeuvre to entice you to read the comic, which it is better, more in depth, and has representation from almost every DC character.
My favorite part is that it isn't too woke (as DC is too prone to do these days). The discourse between Mr. Terrific and Superman ticks many of the boxes when you consider current events, and what defines a despotic tyrannical government or a police state.
