Superman- A Powerful Reminder to Believe in Yourself

from A Drop of Happy · host LiteVi LLC

The New Superman Soars — A Powerful Reminder to Believe in Yourself What’s on the show: Justine Timberlake, NPR, PBS, Shannon Sharp, Kamala Harris, Cowboy Carter, Superman Stress Well Tip/Journal Prompt: Believe in you. Think about a time when you let self-doubt take over. What was the outcome? What lessons did you learn? Ultimately, you have to believe in yourself and your capability to be more than what others think of you or to rise to the occasion. Entertainment Shananigans Justine Timberlake's not-so-performances and Lyme disease Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) will be shutting down after Congress passed a bill that cut funding for the corporation– NPR and PBS will still function. Smaller stations will be impacted Kevin On Stages Churchy gets a second season on BET+ and a new series, The Hospital Shanon Sharp and Chad Ochocinco- 20 million dollar lawsuit Busta Bust got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Kamala Harris's 107 Days One Music Fest Cowboy Cater Tour comes to an end at 407.6 million gross and Shaboozey, Destiny’s Child Superman Review Superman is back, and it is my Pride and Prejudice, my A Christmas Carol, my Spider-Man. It is one of those movies that no matter how many different versions of it they create, I will watch. Now, I can’t say I was overexcited about this version, but I was looking forward to it. Superman stars David Corenswet as Superman, Rachel Broshahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hould as Lex Luthor, Maria Gabriela de Faria as Engineer, Isabela Merced and Hawkgirl, and Edi Gathegi and Mister Terrific, to name a few of the cast members. This installment follows Superman as he deals with the media backlash from his attempt to prevent an impending war between two foreign countries. Audiences seem to love it from the ratings on Rotten Tomatoes at 83%, 4 out of 5 from Google reviews, and IMBd at 7/6/10. After watching it, I would say I agree. Before we get into a more robust breakdown, there are a few things about it I did not enjoy. Unfortunately, Lex Luther was one of them. Now, I do think the special effects were pretty cool and well done. The pacing could have been better, but I think that was partially because I did not care for Lex. With that being the case, the writing and bringing it all together could have been done better. The acting was mostly good. Nicholas Hoult committed. He gave it his all. I just don’t think he was given the best material. Maria Gabriela de Faria missed the mark for me. Again, I partially think it was due to the writing of her character, though. Everyone else did a great job acting wise. I thought the special effects were on point, and I do have a special effects-related scene. Superman had a lot to enjoy. Unfortunately, there was enough to distract me from how good it could have been.
