Superman

PEAK!!!! This is Superman. James Gunn, I love you. From beginning to ending its amazing. I love that it didn't take the origin story route. If u don't know Superman's backstory by now, then don't worry it's not that hard to follow, its pretty much explained without going into a full exposition. And while I'll admit diving into a fully developed cinematic universe like this might be hide or miss for general audience members, but as a longtime DC fan. I loved this. We know Superman's origins, his values, his personality, his flaws, his perspective and his presence. We know Clark Kent and his life as a journalist, his relationship with Lois Lane. And his rivalry with Lex Luthor and it isn't wasting anyone's time. It tells a beautiful story. I'll admit I wasn't a big fan of the twist in Superman's purpose to being sent to Earth being that he was sent to rule over the world but James Gunn takes a huge risky swing and tbh its hits. I love that his expectations and beliefs that are supposedly implemented by biological parents he believed in are shifted with a massive reveal like this. And when he is lost in the moment Pa Kent embraces his doubt and makes him believe in who he is. Not because of what his parents wanted him to be, but because of the decisions he chooses to make. To be kind, to help and fight for justice. It really showed how important Ma and Pa Kent are to Clark and that he truly loves humanity for what it is. I also loved how Gunn wasn't afraid to get dark. Lex killing on screen and genuinely being evil af. And also the real life parallels. Its not afraid to get political and its ain't sugarcoating anything either. For its sentimental of immigrants and the hateful rhetoric that they face in time's like these, billion dollar corporations influencing and manipulating not just the public but governments alike to fall in line to their agenda for personal gain and real life parallels of genocide and ethnic cleansing of innocent people at the hands of greedy and selfish men in power. This is not just a superhero story, it's a tale of kindness, of empathy and of selflessness. I love the entire cast. David Corensweat is Superman!!! Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor is genius. Everyone is amazing but shout out Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific. He's so goated bro, I need more of him ASAP! its visually stunning and has beautiful cinematography. Visual effects and fight sequences are badass. Krypto carries. Also Cat Grant and Hawkgirl😍😍😍 also spoiler alart, Milly Alcock looks amazing as Supergirl. Wasn't expecting that at all! So excited for the future of the DC Universe. I'm giving this a 5/5.
