Superman (2025)

"Action sequences showcase Gunn’s gift for large-scale but coherent spectacle."

"A capable, congenial ensemble to usher Clark, Lois and Lex into a new era."

"Arresting and touching, and occasionally exhausting."

"Fun, pacy and enjoyable, a breath of fresh air sweetened by a deep affection for the material."

"The thrill is gone."

"Charming take on the Superman myth."

"As funny as toothache."

"Pervasive positivity, one really cool canine and a bright comic-book aesthetic."

"Largely a blast."

"Too slight and scattered to feel like the start of something big."

"Ultimately leaves us wondering: was it even necessary?"

"Gives us sights we haven’t yet seen — like Krypto..."

"A zillion-dollar Hollywood blockbuster that feels so much like an eccentric sci-fi B-movie."

"Either a terrible superhero movie or an OK parody."

"Migraine of a movie is superhero soup."

"Refreshingly generous."

"Laser-focused on relatable characters."

"No amount of super-strength can lift the gifted actors from the muddled mess of Gunn's script."

"Something quite rare in the assembly line-style of superhero moviemaking today: human."

"Delivers a simple, potent message: You don’t need X-ray vision to see people as people."

"The best use of the genre as a vast, ideological playground."

"Superman hasn’t had this much charm and personality since Christopher Reeve made you believe a man could fly."

"Can feel scanty and overstuffed..."

"A Superman who isn’t too sweet or too serious — frankly, he’s a little stupid."
