Either way it was an awful film, poor storyline, poor cast, just a pile of trash in my opinion.

Most others would disagree. Brilliant cast who seem to get on well and have good chemistry together. Decent storyline amd a pretty interesting film. If only we got this back in 2017
Awesome movie, so much better that the original.
4:3 is not bad at all if you watch it in the dark, it's just a big square, you can't see the borders
I still don't get why horizontal borders are fine, but vertical ones are the end of the world for some people.

oh because so much of your tv goes unused. I get some of the criticism and how that might annoy some people but at the same time i just didnt care and even if i had, i would have tried to watch it first before writing it off.

I'm watching it on the Quest 2 VR headset and the format doesn't detract too much, you can zoom in a little and its just like a cinema screen. 
However, only just started Part 4 so no judgement yet, however its already much superior from what I recall of the first(which is little as I think I fell asleep).

Because when cropping to a square the picture (physically on your TV) gets ridiculously more small. Horizontal bars don't have that effect because the framing in camera is much the same.
FWIW I don't mind 4x3 in a cinema, I think it was a mistake to not pan and scan for 16x9 considering this is solely a home release.
Superman can turn back time too.
Not in this Universe/Dimension. At least he hasn’t been shown as able to.
Some iterations of superman can travel through time, but the Flash is beyond OP. He can move and think so fast that the rest of the world is literally motionless. He can pass through solid objects.
Oh, you mean in comparison to a true 4k resolution source, I was meaning compared to normal theatrical widescreen, which has black horizontal bars on a 16x9 TV.
The amount of screen real-estate 'lost' seems pretty similar to me in that instance (can't be bothered to do the maths).
That would be a 2:35:1 ratio for the cinema wide.any current mobile phones have a 21:9 screen which is very similar.

Suits iPad viewing well!
An HD movie in 2.39:1 would be 1920x800 (1.54 million pixels).
1920x1080 TV is 2.07 million pixels, so you lose 533k pixels to letterboxing (26%).
Same movie in 4:3 would be 1440x1080 (1.55 million pixels), so again you lose about 26% of your TV screen real-estate, just with vertical bars.
So I don't understand how 4:3 means less, when the pixel count is actually slightly higher than normal anamorphic widescreen.

Isn't it shot for IMAX which is 1.43:1 if im not mistaken?
They then converted it to 1.33:1 as it fits in better with modern TV broadcasting.
Heres an example for you comparing the original 2017 film with the Snyder cut. Same scene, the difference is what you can see is huge. 1.85:1 is the standard widescreen resolution for US Cinema.
