Superman Movie Review: Why James Gunn’s Film is a Fun, Faithful DC Ride

In this review, I dive into my thoughts on the new Superman movie directed by James Gunn. Despite mixed reviews, I found it to be an enjoyable film that skips the origin story and jumps into Superman’s early days as the Man of Steel. David Corenswet delivers a strong performance as Clark Kent/Superman, with standout characters like Mr. Terrific, Guy Gardner, and Krypto adding depth. I address criticisms about the film feeling "all over the place" and explain why I disagree, highlighting its focus on comic book fans while remaining accessible to all. Lex Luthor stands out as a menacing villain, and the supporting cast, including Lois Lane and Hawkgirl, shines. Join me as I discuss what worked, why Krypto fits perfectly, and how this movie sets up a promising DC universe.
