Superman

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.

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 really don't enjoy watching a movie and feeling like I'm not in good hands with its director. Unfortunately, that was my experience with this iteration of Superman.

The choices made in this movie are so perplexing. Gunn did well with Guardians, but his vision for Superman (if he has one) is all over the place. The humor in Guardians generally worked, but Superman's scenes are littered with comedic beats that fall flat on their faces. (The animated dog, Krypto, is the only performance with comedic timing.)

If I had to guess, too many conflicting and overly-specific notes from the studio/producers are to blame for this mess of a movie, but that's me giving the creatives the benefit of the doubt.

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!
