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 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.

Honestly this movie can easily be the biggest disappointment of the year. At least for me. I really can't understand all the 7-10 star reviews. The movie is not horrible, but is really far from being a good superhero movie.

I think David Corenswet does an above average performance. Nothing against him personally. Wouldn't mind some upcoming Superman films staring him.

I think what the movie lacks is a solid story and giving Superman a more leading role. I personally hate this sort of movies filled with unnecessary superheroes. Unless it's something like The Avengers I really don't see the point and makes the main character fade away in my opinion.

I was really hesitant to rate this movie, which I really really wanted to like.

I think choosing James Gunn as director was the biggest mistake the producers made.

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.

If boredom had a cape and could fly, it would be this movie. Superman: Legacy manages to do the impossible: make the Man of Steel feel like a soggy paper towel.

Let's start with the plot-if we can even call it that. It's less of a storyline and more of a loosely taped collage of clichés, half-baked ideas, and scenes clearly written during a lunch break. We're introduced to a Superman who has all the charisma of a DMV employee and the emotional range of a brick.

The villain? An AI-generated placeholder with all the menace of a wet sock. The stakes? About as high as deciding between decaf or regular. And don't even get me started on the forced "emotional" moments, which had all the subtlety of a freight train and none of the impact.

The dialogue is painfully robotic, as if the characters are reading fortune cookies to each other while pretending it's Shakespeare. Clark Kent spends half the movie brooding like a sad influencer who lost his Wi-Fi, and the other half giving awkward pep talks that somehow manage to be both boring and unintentionally hilarious.

Visually, the CGI would've looked impressive back in 2006. But in 2025? Watching Superman fly looked more like someone struggling with a green screen TikTok filter.

And finally, the pacing: glacial. Entire civilizations have risen and fallen in the time it takes this movie to move from one dull scene to the next.

In summary, Superman: Legacy is less a cinematic experience and more a two-hour exercise in wondering what went wrong. If you're a fan of Superman, avoid this one to preserve your sanity-and your childhood.
