I have not read the original comic from which the movie is adapted from. But this looks like a movie which was stored somewhere in the vault by DC, but just released today owing to lack of new content owing to Covid.
It is a fun adaptation overall, it has its moments and the origins part hardly spans for 10 minutes with his parents and then 10 minutes with the obvious Ms.Lane but rest all are relatively new content focussing around Lobo, J'onn and Lex.
We have seen the origin stories a countless times but I think the fans have to just accept that movies like these will keep coming out as franchises like DC and Marvel will continuously want to attract newer generations. For example, cartoons and comics did not have characters using mobile phones and internet - so when this movie had it - The above thought is the exact thing which came to my mind(JUST AN EXAMPLE). So yes, may be the origins story need to be constantly updated for the younger audience, so probably the choice to release the movie.
Worth a watch on weekday evening after work.
