Superman

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 watched this Superman movie and thought it was really dumb! The actors do the best with what they are given but overall it's a mediocre movie.

Warner Brothers must've thought this was going to warm them a billion dollars but this movie has no heart and it's a mess of a film.

I've watched Man of Steel and it's a damn sight better than this jazzy comic movie.

I'll have to go back to the original 1970s film to watch something with genuine heart and excitement!

I am a fan of superhero movies but this is definitely one of the worst I've ever seen. I had really high hopes for it but it did not deliver. I admit it is visually good with decent cinematography and coloring but the story and the dialog seem to be written for children. There is absolutely no creativity in this film. It is a stereotype of superhero stories. There is too much superhuman stuff going on. You can't feel connected to anyone here. Everyone seems to be on board with everything. You feel like being dragged into a party where you know no one. None of the characters are relatable, or even interesting for that matter. It feels like you are watching the third movie of a trilogy having watched neither of the previous two.

I also believe the movie should be called "Everyone But Superman"! Weirdly, he doesn't appear as the main character. He doesn't have a great fight scene or do the important things. He's just there getting bitten up with a very poorly executed redemption arc.

Also, none of the jokes land. The movie isn't fun. None of the characters are funny, especially not the dog. It really tries to be funny but fails every time. I didn't expect this from James Gunn.

I just couldn't... I went to it with an open mind because I have loved James Guns previous movies but ive also loved Zack Snyders version of superman with Henry Cavill... It started good but I never got sucked in to the story or the characters. There were a lot of stupid scenes and actions by characters, and everything just felt flat and messy... I never felt a single care for anyone of the characters, well only for one, the dog crypto, what a pain that dog was, I love animals and especially dogs, but no one has raised or educated that dog one single bit.

I was so disappointed about the movie, because I really wanted to love it and wanted to be excited for the future... But it was boring, to goofy, pale, bad actors and characters and almost nothing fell in place... I LOVE SUPERHERO movies and movies in general, and im sorry to say that this didnt hit me at all.

I went into James Gunn's Superman with high hopes, but I walked out feeling deeply disappointed. This didn't feel like the Superman I grew up with - it felt like a joke.

From the start, the movie tries too hard to be funny, throwing in quips and gags at moments that should have been serious. The bright, cartoonish visuals and fast pace made it feel more like a Marvel comedy than a DC epic. I wanted a Superman with heart, depth, and moral weight; instead, I got something that often felt like a parody.

David Corenswet is a fine actor, and I think he could be a great Superman in a different kind of script. But here, his character is overshadowed by forced humor and by Krypto, the CGI super-dog, who kept pulling me out of the story. The stakes never felt real, and the emotional moments just didn't land.

As a lifelong Superman fan, this movie left me frustrated. It was colorful, yes, but it lacked the soul and seriousness I believe Superman deserves.

Verdict: A missed opportunity - fun for some, but not the Superman movie I was hoping for.
