I really liked this one! I didn't like it as much as the Teen Titans movies or as much as The Death of Superman or Batman: Bad Blood, but this one has what those movies didn't have: a masterful villain.
No, I don't mean Darkseid, but he's really cool so I can't blame you if you thought I meant him. I mean Hank Henshaw, AKA Cyborg Superman. He's as cool and complex as Talon, more understandable and relatable than Talia, as thirsty for revenge as Deathstroke, if not more, has more personality leaps above Doomsday, more screentime than Trigon, and more petty than every other villain I listed before. He's just so cool and interesting to me. Hank really captured what I believe a good villain should be, except for being very smart or cunning which Hank isn't; he's not bright, as he fell for Lois' mockery which caused him to stop Darkseid's invasion, but I still loved Hank for who he was and how he became such a petty monster. Failed by his hero, the loss of his wife as too great for him to handle, so he wanted Superman to suffer, to know what it was like. He's not the most complex villain, and maybe I was exaggerating when I said he was as complex as Talon from Batman vs. Robin, but Hank will still be my number 2 fave villain from the DCAMU at this moment; Talon being my first fave villain from the DCAMU (he's smarter and more cunning than Hank, and maybe more understandable and relatable).
Anyway, it was good. I love Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman, and good villains, which Hank and Darkseid are, in my opinion. Other things and characters I liked were Cyborg, The Eradicator, Steel, Cress Williams playing Steel, Lex Luthor, Superboy, the Kents, Diana and Lois getting along, and how bittersweet the end was. I just wish Lois was less annoying and that Tony Todd didn't replace Steve Blum as Darkseid, but I still really like this movie and I highly recommend it.
