Superman

It really is the perfect movie that the world needs right now. With so much uncertainty in how stable the world being pushed a Superman movie true to the character might be the movie that keeps it all together. I might be looking way into it, or the hope for humanity this movie gives me might be giving me rose shaded glasses.  From Superman’s speech to Lex to how many times animals are saved in this movie it is down to a tee what a Superman movie should be.  David Corenswet plays Clark and Superman so well while also playing a perfect hybrid with Lois.  Rachel Brosnahan is what Lois Lane should be. She’s so trapped into her career and love for journalism that it overshadows her basic human needs and relationships.  Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor is perfect and everything conflict within this movie is because of Luthor. That’s how it should be in a Superman movie.  Edi Gathegi plays Mr. Terrific so well, and bravo to James Gunn for making him a dope ass genius. There were no moments where Terrific uses a word too big and someone says “Speak English.” A genius is going to modify most of their words for their audience. His action sequence is also the best in the movie.  But a part that really stuck out on this third rewatch was Anthony Carrigan. I don’t really know how to put to words how he stuck out, but he did.  All that to say I truly do LOVE this movie, and my gripes with it have been washed on the third watch. A movie that can make me tear up at least two times on every watch is truly something special.  James Gunn truly cannot miss when it comes to comic book movies.
