It’s time for the Ricks’ official (and highly-spoilerific) review of one of the summer’s biggest movies: James Gunn’s Superman. From backstories to propaganda-posting monkey bots, and from half-baked controversies to crappy character haircuts (looking at you, Green Lantern), the Ricks give you the lowdown on the latest incarnation of everyone’s favorite Kryptonian.
