Critic Reviews
"Gunn’s Superman isn’t ashamed of its comic book origins and whimsical inventiveness. T"
"What sends Gunn’s “Superman” soaring over redundancy and overkill is the affection he feels for the Man of Steel in Corenswet’s uncalculated, cynicism-free portrait. Supie isn’t afraid to show his heart. He calls it the new punk rock. Maybe he’s right."
"I certainly had fun."
"It's a bird, it's a plane...it's a Superman movie worth watching?"
"If it’s not always a great movie it’s a fairly consistently great blockbuster."
"It moves too fast at times, juggles too much, and doesn’t always give its deeper themes the space they deserve. But it does exactly what it sets out to do: establish a new tone, plant narrative seeds, and leave audiences curious for more."
Audience Reviews
Really enjoyed this movie!!
David Corenswet fully becomes the comic book Superman we all know and love. Its the most human Superman has felt since Christopher Reaves.
Excited for the future Dcu.
worst then routh superman
Fantastic. Well done. Wish it was more Superman, less Justice Gang or whatever. They were great and I understand the whole world building thing. But I want more traditional just Superman. But hey, it was great still.
In the top 3 Best Superman movies ever!
