Superman

A movie I had been waiting for a long time!!! As a Superman fan since Smallville, James Gunn's choice to portray Superman as the good, heroic man he truly is, simply perfect.

Bringing Superman back as a symbol of hope and faith in humanity-while tying his story to sharp critiques of today's geopolitical climate-made Superman the best superhero film of 2025 and one of DC's best, second only to Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy.

I wanted to love this movie. However it is very weak and doesn't hit the right notes. The music score in this is below average, it doesn't make you feel or create any swell of emotion. The best part of the movie was the relationship between Clark & Lois and yet there's so many other sub plots that aren't needed. Superman feels like Superboy or just Clark Kent in a suit. He is portrayed as a wuss. Lex Luthers character made little sense, He acts like a big petulant baby the whole time yelling out combos and will rip apart the fabric of the world for what? Ultraman is just a weak version of Zod.

Honestly, this version of Superman feels way too childish and overly comical. The tone is all over the place - cringey one-liners, awkward slapstick, and visuals that look like they belong in a Saturday morning cartoon. Instead of being a bold reimagining, it feels like a step back into campy territory no one really asked for.

David Corenswet, while a decent lookalike, completely fails to capture the commanding presence and charisma that Henry Cavill brought to the role. Cavill had gravitas - a balance of strength, vulnerability, and quiet intensity. Corenswet feels... light. Like he's playing dress-up rather than embodying Earth's greatest protector.

Worse, the theater itself reflected the film's flat tone. The room was dead quiet - barely a chuckle, almost no reaction. It was a sharp contrast to the electric energy I felt during Deadpool vs Wolverine, where the whole crowd was engaged, laughing, reacting. This Superman? It just didn't land.

Compared to Man of Steel, which had emotional depth, stunning visuals, and a powerful score, this version feels hollow. It might please kids or hardcore nostalgia fans, but it's missing soul.

Rating: 6/10 - Looks like Superman, but lacks the heart, presence, and impact. For something truly heroic, revisit Man of Steel.

I felt like I joined the movie half way through at the start. The muddle of characters rapidly became overwhelming and there never felt like there was a plot. The guardians of the galaxy style just didn't work as well on supes..

This felt like a comedy first and superhero second. Too much needless changes from the source material as well just made me feel like yet another DC reboot or remake is too little too late.

A reasonable attempt but falls short of being good.

This was probably one of the best superhero movies I've ever seen. I never was much of a fan of any of the DC movies prior to this. They were all well, forgettable. Knowing the characters growing up and what I envisioned them on screen after what Marvel has pulled off the Snyder DC movies never hit with me. The casting seemed off the story's didn't seem to follow a linear path. I mean Jason Mamoa as Aquaman?! The rock as Black Adam?? Now Jason as Lobo THAT fits. When it comes to this movie and what Superman represents this is 10/10. The movie embodies hope and you can see/feel it whenever Superman is on screen. David knocked it out of the park. The pacing seemed a fast but other than that I loved this movie. Yes Man of Steel was a great film, but it wasn't Superman. THIS is.
