Summary
Reviewers say 'Superman' features an effectively nostalgic tone, strong performances by David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult, and vibrant effects. However, it faces criticism for inconsistent tone, shallow character development, over-reliance on humor, and Superman's portrayal. Issues with pacing, plot coherence, and side characters are noted. Despite mixed reception, many find it enjoyable and a promising start for the new DC Universe.
Featured reviews
Someone at Warner Bros must have looked at Superman and thought: "What if we made him weaker, less inspiring, and more annoying-then sprinkled in a script so thin it couldn't survive a sneeze?" Congratulations, they did it. This so-called Supermen movie is a catastrophe wearing a cape.
The writing is abysmal. Every line feels like it was churned out by an AI trained on bad fan fiction and energy drink commercials. The pacing? Imagine a snail on tranquilizers. Plot twists? Only if you count "Superman gets tired" as groundbreaking.
And then there's the Man of Steel himself. Since when does Superman bruise like a college freshman in a bar fight? The movie actually zooms in on a bruise, as if the audience is supposed to gasp at how "realistic" it is. No-what it really is, is pathetic. The whole point of Superman is that he's above this kind of nonsense. Stripping him down to some half-baked, fragile mortal doesn't make him relatable. It makes him unrecognizable.
The villains are cardboard cutouts, the CGI looks like leftovers from a PS3 cutscene, and the emotional beats land with the force of a wet napkin. By the end, you're not rooting for Superman. You're rooting for the credits to roll so you can escape.
This isn't just the worst Superman movie. It's the cinematic equivalent of kryptonite. If there's any justice in the universe, this film gets buried in the Phantom Zone where no one has to suffer through it again.

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 felt like a popcorn movie for kids. Silly jokes, goofy characters and unrealistic situations / twists. Nothing epic or grounded in realism, just a James Gunn version of DC universe. Not hyped of any forthcoming movies in this universe.
Oh, and without going into spoilers, this movies has a lot of different twists and turns and fantastical elements. Feels bloated. Still, I can't find a single character who would feel real to me. Maybe I'm just too old for these movies... Or maybe the movie tries too much to show humbleness and kindness that it feels fake and in your face.

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.
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.

- TriviaNathan Fillion insisted that Guy Gardner sport the same bowl cut he does in the comics despite early discussions about changing the hairstyle. He said, "There was some talk about different hairstyles. There was some talk about some different types of things we were going to go. I was team bowl cut the whole way. It's canon. It's set. I said, If we don't do a bowl cut, we're going to hear about it."
- GoofsIn the opening, an injured Superman spits blood onto the snow, so he can whistle for Krypto. In the next closeup, there is no blood on the snow.
- Crazy creditsThere is a scene at the end of the closing credits: Superman and Mr Terrific work on rebuilding Metropolis.
- Alternate versionsIn India, the film was censored in order to achieve the U/A 13+ classification. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) asked the studio to delete the foul words wherever they were mouthed. An eight-second shot involving a 'foul gesture' was asked to be removed. It was replaced by a two-second shot. Lastly, the CBFC's members deleted a 'sensual visual' lasting 33 seconds and spread across two scenes.
