Superman
God i fucking love this film. Seeing this in theatres on release day genuinely changed my brain chemistry when it comes to comic book films. This is literally a comic book brought to life.
I absolutely love the soundtrack too. It genuinely carried the summer this film released for me and i GENUINELY HAD THE BIGGEST SMILE ON MY FACE AT THE END when Punkrocker started playing and he’s just lying there watching those clips from his childhood. Genuinely one of my favourite endings ever. God. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS FILM.
The colouring is amazing too. Everything feels like a warm summer day and i really hope they keep giving every DC character their own exaggerated lighting and colour palette. Superman having these warm bright colours feels perfect and i’d love for Batman to have a much darker moodier look instead. It makes every character feel unique.
Honestly Superman has always been one of my favourite characters alongside Spider-Man, but unlike Spider-Man, Superman’s previous live action appearances never really felt this human or this hopeful to me. I’m so glad James Gunn brought back the true meaning of Superman.
This film genuinely made everyone want to be a better person the summer it released and i really hope Man Of Tomorrow does the same thing and achieves the same emotional justice for me.
THIS FILM IS BEAUTIFULLY SHOT TOO. I love the black hole scene, the fight with Lex’s goons in the sky, and when the tooth flies into the screen. Absolute fucking peak cinema.
maybe this film is the true punk rocker
