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.

    Your criticism is you think it seemed like a recap of a movie that came out almost 40 years ago? So what part is a recap? The Justice Gang? Krypto? Ultraman? The portal to a pocket dimension? The only plot point I can see that’s remotely similar is Ultraman and Lex Luthor. Nothing else is similar. Even if it was a shot for shot remake you’re talking about a movie that came out over 3 decades ago. I definitely feel that movies should be under scrutiny, especially remakes and reboots, but even this is a bit much for me.

      Damn, dude, you saw the part where I said it wasn’t a bad movie, right? I was just sharing what I thought, not attacking everyone who loved the movie. Sorry for having an opinion, I guess.
