This Superman soars—not by outmuscling Cavill’s brooding demigod or remaking Christopher Reeve’s gentle icon, but by capturing the sense of wonder that first hooked me as a child. When I watched Christopher Reeve’s Superman all those years ago, I felt the awe of a world made bright by heroes. Now, watching Corenswet’s take with my seven-year-old daughter, I can see her experiencing that same wide-eyed excitement. Gunn’s film hands the magic down—a perfect introduction for a new generation, every bit as joyous and inviting as it was for mine.
Overall I enjoyed it. My only criticism was just too much going on at once in the second half of the movie. I will say the secondary characters were actually super memorable though compared to others. I ended up enjoying Terrific just as much as Superman. The ‘hacking the rift’ thing was a little much, but I think it was decently done. Also the ‘gamer bro’ types that were part of Lex Luthor’s team were pretty cringe. Highly recommend the movie for at least one watch.
*Terrific (assuming you’re talking about the tech hero and not the Marvel movie)
Ack, good catch. Terrific was fantastic, haha. Editing my initial comment. Appreciate it!
