 Superman (2025)  Quote: Superman is a 2025 American superhero film based on the eponymous character from DC Comics. Written and directed by James Gunn, it is the first film in the DC Universe (DCU) produced by DC Studios and the second reboot of the Superman film series.

The film follows Superman's journey to reconcile his alien heritage with his adoptive human family.

Re: Superman (2025) I liked it overall. Don't really think it's as strong as Gunn's other superhero films unfortunately (I guess its better than Guardians 2 lol).
David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan are great.

Re: Superman (2025) A
LOVED how different it is to any other Superman movie before. It’s so much fun & hopeful. Heartwarming and thrilling. Goofy & hilarious. James Gunn nailed it again. 5 for 5 superheroes films.

Re: Superman (2025) Its different alright. And its trademark Gunn - only slightly restrained but still unavoidably a Gunn production. Not sure if that sensibility works for a Superman film but i guess it needed to be different from what came before.
Actors are very good and there are plenty of fun moments but im mixed on it right now due to the tone and the fact Supes gets his ass kicked for a good chunk of the film.
Will need to mull it over some more.

Re: Superman (2025) Gunn and company did the most important thing when starting a new franchse - create a world that is intoxicating to be a part of. I probably would have seen it again right after if it was possible. I didn't love every choice in the movie, but I was 100% with it the entire time. There isn't a boring second in the film, even the ultra corny "you make me proud" scene from the somehow still alive Pa Kent serves its purpose well.
Krypto is obviously the mvp though. Arf arf!
10/10 or a !!!/!!!

Re: Superman (2025) Loved it! Only part I didn’t like was Mr Terrific was kind of a dull character for the amount of screen time he got, and I kind of lost interest a bit in the middle of the film as a result. But Gunn really knows how to direct a comic book film. He knows how to have humor stem organically from characters and situations as well as how to make zany elements from the comics work in live action.

Re: Superman (2025) Saw it again last night. I think the highs of the film are very high but idk. It's fine to just go with the film as we know Superman's origins and what not but idk, I do feel like I would have liked to see this Superman starting. For some reason I didn't mind it in The Batman but I guess here it feels more jarring like starting a TV show in the middle of its run.

Re: Superman (2025) I love that they just dropped us into the middle of the story. We've spent the last twenty years with franchise movies that are obsessed with world building. Superman's world is already built and lived in. We're just lucky to be a part of it.
