Superman
90/100
The Gunn that never jams. James Gunn. Has done it again!! 👏
This movie delivered on nearly every aspect—action, dialogue, and a strong, well paced story. But the standout for me is the cinematography. The camera work was absolutely phenomenal. Those flying sequences were breathtaking, the film was bursting with color and visually it just looked incredible from start to finish. The sound effects were on point as well!
Every character pulled their weight, and I was genuinely surprised by how much I ended up enjoying the side characters. James Gunn really knows how to handle a large cast he’s done it before, and he’s done it again here. The pacing was on point, with a few small time jumps that actually worked in the film’s favor. It got straight to the point without wasting time on things we already know, and it laid the groundwork early in a smart, efficient way.
If I had to nitpick, I’d say they leaned a bit too heavily on the Superman theme. It lost some of its emotional punch by the time the final battle rolled around. And visually, David Corenswet’s Ultraman didn’t quite work for me—the long hair and suit combo just looked slightly off. But honestly, those are minor issues in the grand scheme of how much I enjoyed the film.
I absolutely loved Superman, the manipulative and brilliant Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, scene-stealing Krypto, Mr. Terrific, and Green Lantern. This was a bold, fun, and visually stunning take on the Man of Steel’s world. Gunn nailed it.
