Gunn’s film throws the viewers into the new Superman’s world in medias res, opening with our hero being beaten in a battle for the first time since he publicly debuted as the world’s most powerful metahuman, three years before. After stopping the invasion of the fictional country of Jarhanpur by military forces of the neighboring (also fictional) Boravia, Superman meets a new foe, all-too-conveniently called The Hammer of Boravia. The Hammer’s not particularly important, but his creator is: Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult), the billionaire owner of Luthercorp, which manufactures and deals weapons to the highest bidder. Lex is desperately trying to get the Department of Defense’s ear, asserting that Superman’s meddling in international affairs is unconstitutional, and that he’s simply an “alien” meddling in foreign policy. – SALON.com

“It is a restarting and a return to the sort of visual style of the Richard Donner’s Superman from the ’70s that we all loved”-Mark Kermode.
