Superman
James Gunn absolutely cooked with this and 100% met the expectations that were set out for him.
David Corenswet is genuinely the perfect casting for Superman, he’s got the size and the face. He’s got everything good from both Henry Cavill and Christopher Reeves. I can’t wait to see more of this Superman. Nicholas Hoult did brilliantly as Lex Luthor, the genuine hatred for Superman was so real. The whole tone of the film is exactly what Superman films need, the colors were vibrant and pleasing. Which is exactly the kind of energy Superman needs to exude. The camera movements in the film were insane too, along with the effects, it was honestly just all round built for action. I think it’s great that they didn’t start off with an origin story too, everyone around the world already believes in Superman. He’s already established himself as a symbol of hope which made the film so much better. James Gunn even went ahead and tackled the conflicts in the Middle East with the whole Beruvia war.
My only complaint that I have to be honest is that I wish it was longer, which is not the worst complaint to have.
I love how this was the exact opposite of The Batman that came out in 2022. I can’t wait for this DCEU to grow into something similar to the MCU. Well done, James Gunn.
