Superman (2025)

James Gunn brought his signature sensibilities while capturing the magic of Superman '78, updated with a modern touch. The film had a wonderful Silver Age flair, just like the classic comics. David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, and Rachel Brosnahan all delivered outstanding performances — and Krypto was an absolute scene-stealer!While I haven’t always been a fan of Gunn’s more juvenile humor, here it felt like a breath of fresh air and actually worked well for Superman’s world. That said, I still prefer the look and tone of Man of Steel’s Krypton. If you…

Nicholas Hoult is a powerhouse. A breakout role for David Corenswet. There wasn’t a minute wasted with this film. It was VERY well written in my opinion. If you go in expecting Henry Cavill level Superman, you will be sorely disappointed, but if you go in expecting a young, inexperienced, conflicted, naive Superman, you will be very impressed. This is not the origin story we’re used to but one that works so well. It’s about proving worth while making mistakes and learning to hone abilities. Go in with an open mind and you will be pleasantly surprised.
