Superman
This is it. It’s everything I could have asked for and more. It’s simply all I want from a Supeman film. Potentially the most comic book movie I’ve ever seen and I mean that in all the right ways. The smile on my face never left throughout the entire film and I’m so invested in James Gunn’s vision for this universe. David Corenswet IS Superman, no questions asked. Every little mannerism and choice he makes as an actor are beyond perfection. Christopher Reeve was perfect but Corenswet has probably passed him if I’m honest. All the supporting cast are perfect, the film looks phenomenal and the score is so beautiful.
I can understand the criticism of people likening this film to a somewhat limited series but I think all the different stories intertwined so perfectly that I really didn’t mind it. How people say the film looks bad is insane to me as it has so much visual flair. Gunn knows what he’s doing and that shows, especially in the fight sequences which are magnetic to watch. Every little choice made by each character is ripped straight out of the comics, and for me, that’s exactly how I like it. Before I wrote this review I had this film at a 4.5 star but after writing this review, it can only be a 5 star. Call me crazy but it’s the film of the year for me so far. I love this universe and above all, I adore this character. In James Gunn we trust!!!
