This film was beyond expectation. The story telling used a different formula from previous DC movies, and that's precisely what made it so good. This is how Superhero stories should be depicted, not just about clashes of superpowers. Moral message and humanity from both hero and villains perspective were portrayed exceptionally well. I loved how the char of Clark and Lex were portrayed in this movie, both actors did an excellent job. I love how this movie handle the ending, because it's connected with the opening ,and somehow its have deeper meaning. The only drawbacks might be the post-credit scenes, both are too short, we want more.

I saw a sneak peek of this the day before it opened. Going into it I honestly expected it to just be ok. And I'll admit in the first couple minutes I found myself thinking "oh this might not be good". But then as the movie went on, I found myself really getting into it. Everything about this movie was awesome. The casting was excellent for everyone. The bright colors that gave it the feel of watching a comic book come off the pages and onto the screen. Most of all, this movie was uplifting. It made me smile. The relationship Clark had with Ma and Pa Kent was very well done. Anyone calling them "dumb rednecks" just doesn't get it. There was one scene in particular which gave me chills, when the boy lifted the Superman flag and started saying his name, that accompanied by the John Willams Superman theme was beautifully done. The more I think about this movie, the more it grows on me. I really enjoyed this movie and can't wait to see what James Gunn has planned next. Do yourself a favor and see this one on the big screen.

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.

With the new DC franchise, James Gunn starts it with his take on the Man of Steel himself. This film is not just for current fans or fans from the start, it also speaks to everyone. This is the Superman film that we might not have asked but it is definitely what we needed. This does not just focus on the superhero genre. It's a roller-coaster action packed yet it has the emotion and heart of a superhero story. It does not just showed Superman that he is invincible. It also showed his weaknesses, yet he still shows that he is a man of hope.

The film also did not waste other characters. Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, the Justice Gang played important parts. Hoult's performance was Lex Luthor was insane! The Fortress of Solitude was also not sidelined. And there's Krypto! Man Krypto definitely stole the show! Brosnahan's Lois Lane was really well executed and Corenswet as Clark Kent / Superman was really amazing!

The film also had its surprises but overall, it is very well made. James Gunn, you outdid yourself again this time! Thank you for bringing this to life. Probably the best film this year so far! A definite worth the watch!

While we have all been through the rollercoaster that is the DCEU future over the past few years, Superman could possibly be up there with one of the greatest superhero films of all time even in a world with the iconic Batman films . I didn't honestly think Gunn would come out with such a bang on this as he did. The suicide squad was fun and showed his signature style but this is on a different level entirely . The bombastic visuals are usual and packed to the brim, but what this film does best is deliver an emotional aspect that hasn't been this prevalent in the genre for a long time . That's what I think will stick with people more than the action. I don't want to get into detail too much as we are very early in the reviews but this will have people blown away and fully ready to embrace the Gunnverse. I even say that as a massive fan of the Snyderverse . ..
