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.

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 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 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.

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.

- 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.
