frank capra and jimmy stewart were an excellent pair. in their first film together you can already see the magig that will unforld with mr smith goes to Washington and it's a wonderful life, a light funny comedy
for being a sequel to man of steel it's sad to see superman as a secondary character in his own film which becomes another batman story. the extended cut is superior as the film is more coherent and more superman, but dc needs to quit making such a dark universe when superman is supposed to be something we aspire to, rather than moping along for 3 hrs
