I loved the look and feel that pulled me into a comic world completely. The action was great. Superman, Lois, and Luther were spot on. Mr Terrific was well terrific. I loved that Lois got sucked into some action and was very important in how everything worked out. The Kents were a real sweet spot. James Gun knows how to take a weird fantastical fantasy world and give it heart, so you care. Best Superman ever.
Not quite even close to other super man movies, but entertaining if you don’t compare it to others. Too many side plots, Lois was good, the dog was fake looking.
If you support the sweeping changes Donald Trump is bringing to American democracy you will find this movie not only disappointing but downright offensive.
Super dog is the best and cutest animated character and it made it fun to watch, unfortunately for the music was not for me, Too many goofy characters and little plots here and there it as too much and all over the place at the same time, it was definitely for younger audiences or those who do not care about plot or "step by step" directional sort of thing. I must add that Nicholas Hault did a phenomenal act as Lex Luthor, he fill those shoes and then some. I prefer the 3 previous movies.
Painfully bad. Everyone I saw it with hated it.
Really funny dialogue and GREAT supporting actors/actresses! Well done James Gunn 👏
Love that Superman is portrayed as having a personality and getting excited about stuff and having favorite food. Delightful man. I was so TIRED of Superman being an empty husk of “tortured alien who wants to help shitty humans” He’s some guy He wants to help He’s good :)
Shouldn't waste your money on it. Bad acting, bad movie hated it
I was never a big DC comics, or Superman fan growing up but the movies always had that charm. Little did I know how bad the world needed something wholesome and charming as Superman. This is the revival of that spirit of original Superman films. Even though this movie isn't perfect and made some odd choices. Its WAY better than anything Zack Snyder or DC has put out in the least 20 years. The only thing better or even comparable to this is Batman 1989 because its the best thing DC did all these years, and the original Superman films. I truly feel this movie is worth watching, in the big screen, and enjoy it for what it is. The only flaws are sups getting beat up too much, too many side characters stealing screen time, and a 8 act lot that didn't really have an act 1. You jump right in to something. And the suit could be a little tighter esp around the collar. The plot needs to go smaller in the future, fix the suit, make superman powerful and not abuse him so much, and reduce the multitude of side characters. If they did that it would be a perfect film. As is it is STILL the best on screen superman since the 1980s. Ps. This is about 43 times better than Fantastic Bore: Missteps
This movie is for mindless idiots. Not the superman for intelligent people
Overall fun to watch action movie from beginning to end
Done with woke Hollywood
Hollywood has zero creativity, no one has an honest or free thought any more, all driven by LGBTQ or politics. What a mess!
loved it,
I had high hopes but a far cry from the other Superman movies. It had very much a Marvel feel to it and its almost as if Gunn is out to ruin DC as well. Sorry people, don't hate me, but this reboot should be booted to the curb.
I like James Gunn movies, but he is definitely starting to repeat himself. Examples: team of misfits who sort of work well together. In GOTG2 remember the golden people Rocket stole the battery from? They chased the Guardians remotely and one by one their screens went black when their ships were blown up. In Superman, he is beaten up with the assist from drones which were viewed by Lex's team and one by one their screens went down. Or GOTG3 with the "bad dog" who, of course is cute and ultimately has powers which saves everyone. Superman has Krypto the "bad dog" who ultimately is a big help. There's some other things but those are the big ones. The best running joke is that all the women love Jimmy and he knows it and it bothers him ha ha. It's brighter, more upbeat and pretty decent. Let Batman movies be Snyder dark.
Made a review. 3/5. But apparently it changed on me to a 5/5.
Got to see Superman in IMAX form today. The acting was good, the script could’ve been better. Lots of special effects for the action lovers. It was better than I thought it would be. Who’d knew that the star would be a hyper dog. I’d give it a 6/10.
Best DC movie in years. Dc is back.
This version of Superman is a far cry from the heroic figure of the 1960s comics, featuring a superhero with a dad bod, wearing a distorted and a comical super suit. Instead of the man of steel it portrayed Superman as a weak and naive Kryptonian lacking the discernment, full powers and proud history of the original character. If I could give this movie a zero, I would. On top of that, it transformed Superman's Kryptonian parents into merciless villains, introduced Supergirl as his cousin late in the movie as an irresponsible, boozing brat, and portrayed Krypto the Super dog as an undisciplined, dim-witted mutt—all disappointing and unnecessary distortions. The production felt weak, the story uninspiring, and the ending entirely predictable. It came off as more a crossover between "I Robot", "Who’s line is it anyway" and "H.R. Pufnstuf" than a serious Superman film. Bring back the Man of Steel!
7 OUT 10. just ok.. the good mister terrfic as for me he steals the show, superman was good too as well as lex, the bad was the ending with sipergirl as they made look like she hair head that was disappointed, that plus Kent parents visuals, the ugly was the pocket dimension as those affects were bad and had weird things in it, but still enjoyed watching superman ,
Super fun! This loopy, light-hearted adventure feels like the true sequel to Superman III that we always wanted but never really got. There are echoes of Robert Vaughn's Ross Webster in Nicholas Hoult's portrayal of Lex Luthor, and Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner is the film's wild card, a character as mysterious and every bit as nefarious as Richard Pryor's Gus Gorman from III. Superman, unfortunately, is rather wimpy this time out, his ill-fitting tights inspiring more hoots and hollers than a knowing respect for The Law when he appears. Lois Lane is under-utilized in this version but that's a good thing because the actress playing her is terrible. Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl more than compensates, however, as do the special effects and an effective use of product placement to complement the experience. The movie isn't perfect, but Superman fans have much to cheer about this summer. *** / *****
Some of the choices they made for shot composition took some time to get used to, but I enjoyed the characterization and story. Anyone complaining about "political messaging" has clearly never watched a movie before; all media is political, you just don't like what this movie is saying.
Back stories are powerful too.
Listen when I say I am not a Superman fan. But when my son insisted, we go I did solely for him. From the first scene I kid you not. I was interested. I mean it started with him after he lost his first battle. From there the whole 2 hours and 9 minutes I absolutely loved. The incredible cast, the story line absolutely brilliant.
superman was awesome
I've been a Superman fan for 60 years. James Gunn captured the essence of the kind, honest Superman. I loved it!
I solid start. Hopefully they will build on it.
MAGA lunatics crying about a movie because FOX News told them to. Best Superman movie, best flick this year
worst movie i have ever seen, what a shame it has put on superman, acting was bad, director, producer should never be associated with another movie.......
What utter horror was this movie. SUPERMAN is ruined for ever. Don't waste your time in seeing this trash
This was by far the worst rendition of Superman. Waste of $100 for tickets and concessions. It's not even worth renting.
The movie was choppy, and the effects were amateur. Waste of time.
Really 4 but I'm offsetting the triple 5 star vote. Superman is very handsome and I love his big heart, and his down-home folk parents. I enjoyed the movie, but did find myself saying under my breath, early on, "this is stupid". But it did get better and was entertaining. The dog actually saved Superman's hide a few times, as did his other superhero friends. Good mix of humor!
I loved everything about it
I loved everything about it
I loved everything about it
Finally got it right. Lex Luther was awesome! Honestly the whole cast did a beautiful job. This is the start of something great for the DCU!
I don’t know why Hollywood has a problem with virtue but they seem to want to emphasize flaws in our “heroes”. Even in Superman, Hollywood has to paint Superman’s parents as harsh and “oppressive” toward those they seemingly find less worthy. “Good” people have to be tarnished. It’s just indicative of our culture and the narrative Hollywood prefers. I’m sick of political messages.
This is a great movie! However...Krypto, the little dog, kind of steals the show from the other actors.
Enjoyed the movie quite a bit! Loved the new take on Superman and the fact that he's been in the universe for a while now and interacting with the other metahumans. The cast was perfect in my opinion and to be honest, Krypto and Mister Terrific stole the show for me. Don't take movies too seriously and enjoy them for what they are!
The movie was just ok. Superman's costume is ick. Still, far better than The Batman, ugh!
Best Superhero movie ever! Watching it again this weekend 😎
This is the WEF version of Superman, but I give it 1 star for being a good Political Trojan Horse. Some of it was entertaining, even if much of acting was awkward.
Finally a proper Superman movie after so long.
Boring......
First half hour was dozing, second half kept waiting for something more. With all the modern technology sorry to say was not used in this movie,
Unapologetic comic book fun! Great characterizations, excellent performances, and a wonderful message.
Non-stop fun! Would make a great double-bill with Snow White! 7/10
Expected to be entertained - so sorely disappointed - left before it was over.
