Superman
Everything you would want from a comic-book movie.
"That is where you've always been wrong about me, Lex. I am as human as anyone. I love, I-I get scared. I wake up every morning, and despite not knowing what to do, I put one foot in front of the other, and I try to make the best choices that I can. I screw up all the time, but that is being human, and that's my greatest strength. And someday, I hope, for the sake of the world, you understand that it's yours too."
Firstly, David Corenswet as Superman is easily my favourite actor - as conterversial as that may be. Plus, the casting choices are great all around. Nicholas Hoult as Luthor is honestly incredicle and I loved seeing him onscreen.
The plot was great. Unique, intense, and had genuinely great twists. I actually watched this film way back last year when it came out, and it was just as good as I remembered it being. Oh, and the politics element of it was interesting and very connected with current real-world politcs. A dangerous choice for sure, but it was done masterfully.
Superman is all about what it means to be human, and I love that. "Maybe that's the real punk rock."
