Just watched it.

I went in with full expectations. The movie delivered. It exceeded most of what I hoped for - and did so with confidence.

Right off the bat, I loved that it wasn't another tired origin story. We jump straight into an already-established Superman world, and that instantly made it feel refreshing. No slow setup, no unnecessary rehashing - just straight into the story.

The pacing, which I was a little worried about, turned out to be pretty solid. Yeah, it's packed, but not in a way that feels rushed or messy. It had the energy of a well-structured superhero adventure - not a bloated ensemble mess.

Now let's talk characters, because the entire cast killed it. Clark, Lois, and Lex absolutely carry this movie - in the best way. Clark feels like Superman. Lois kicks ass (finally!), and Lex? Bro, he might be the best live-action version we've ever gotten. His presence, intellect, manipulation - all spot on.

Mr. Terrific is one of the coolest characters here - he owns every scene he's in, even if his gaming chair had me crying from laughter 😭 (seriously, that chair is hilarious). Guy Gardner was loud, annoying, and perfect. Kara had some solid emotional moments near the end. Even the dog and Jimmy Olsen were important to the story - and Jimmy, man's got rizz, straight up saved Supes with that source. Loved that.

One thing I really appreciated was how even in the middle of intense fight scenes, Superman still takes time to help people - even saves a squirrel at one point. That detail alone speaks volumes. It felt authentic to who Superman is supposed to be.

Speaking of fights - THEY. WERE. GAS. Like for real, beautifully choreographed, powerful, and creative. The 3D added some really nice depth to the action too, without being distracting.

Visually, I'd say 90-95% looked amazing. There were a few shots that felt kinda off or awkward, but nothing that pulled me out of the experience completely. Just being real here. And again - Mr. Terrific's chair sticking to him when he walked?? Bro 😭😭.

There were a few nitpicks I had: I wish Hawkgirl had more screentime, and the Justice Gang kind of popped up out of nowhere. As someone who's into this stuff, I understood the context, but I think a little more setup would've helped with their introductions. Still, not a dealbreaker.

What stood out the most though, is how balanced this movie felt. A lot of people doubted Gunn, saying he could only do ragtag groups and slapstick jokes. This movie proves otherwise. It's centered on Clark, Lois, and Lex - and despite the large cast, it never felt overstuffed or chaotic. The jokes were there, but they were in character, well-timed, and not overbearing. He dialed it back just enough.

This is the most even-toned Superman movie since the Reeve era. It's full of heart, optimism, wit, and a sense of adventure that actually makes you enjoy being in this world. Gunn respected the source while still doing something fresh. He didn't try to reinvent Superman - he just got him right.

If I had one major criticism, it's that the movie didn't have that big awe-inspiring moment - that one unforgettable, cinematic "magic" beat. I was always engaged and entertained, but I didn't get that jaw-drop moment like "you'll believe a man can fly." That said, I did believe Superman could actually get hurt. They nailed his power level - he felt powerful, but not invincible. That grounded tension really worked.

In the end, this felt like a real return to form. I'm honestly tired of superhero movies trying too hard to be prestige dramas or edgy epics. This one brings back the joy - and still finds room for depth, emotion, and some sharp themes about power, responsibility, and legacy.

It's a strong opening for the new DCU, and I'm excited to see it continue.

Solid 10/10 from me.

It made me smile, and sometimes - that's exactly what a Superman movie should do.

Matt Murdock and Kingpin have made a triumphant return! The premiere sets an impressive tone, striking a balance between the familiar and the innovative. Even after revisiting Netflix's Daredevil, this installment feels like the dawn of a new chapter rather than a mere continuation. The changes in camera angles, cinematography, and overall visuals are striking, contributing to a unique atmosphere. Although the CGI occasionally falls short, it does not detract from the overall experience. Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio fully embody their characters. The narrative, performances, and suspense are captivating. If this marks the beginning, we are poised for something truly remarkable.

Fateh is an action thriller film that marks the directorial debut of Sonu Sood, who also stars in the lead role. The cast includes notable actors like Jacqueline Fernandez, Vijay Raaz, Naseeruddin Shah, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya. The story follows a former secret agent who, after leaving a covert agency that operates without any identification or records, settles into a quiet life running a dairy farm in a village. However, he soon finds himself drawn back into the dangerous world of cybercrime, where he takes on a powerful cyber mafia. The film features intense action sequences, including a breathtaking opening fight and a gripping climax, all set against a backdrop of real locations. With a compelling narrative that highlights the issues of online fraud and cybercrime, the film delivers a strong message without any romantic or comedic elements. I particularly enjoyed the character of Fateh, portrayed by Sonu Sood, who exhibits OCD, adding depth to his persona. The fight scenes are expertly choreographed, making it one of the standout action thrillers in Indian cinema. The movie carries vibes reminiscent of both John Wick and James Bond. Overall, Fateh is a must-watch, showcasing Sonu Sood's impressive directorial skills. While I believe he should continue to create more films like this, a sequel may not be necessary.
