The result leaves out lot of humanity, replacing it instead with aggressive sarcasm.

James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ is Messy. I Hope You See It Anyway.
I saw James Gunn's Superman twice in its first weekend. I saw it again the next weekend. It's frustrating and disingenuous; it feels clean, clear, and resonant. It suffocates beneath a stuffed script that never slows down: a near-trainwreck that also blurs its way into a joyride. It's disingenuous at times, not weighty enough to grapple with the immense agony of modern war.
