Superman
Superman must reconcile his alien Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as reporter Clark Kent. As the embodiment of truth, justice and the human way he soon finds himself in a world that views these as old-fashioned.

Superman evokes a few distinct feelings that few comic book movies have been able to capture as of late. An unmistakable sincerity shines through, with Corenswet radiating hope and buoyancy. The film feels like a vibrant throwback tonally, which doesn’t always work in its favor, yet its knack for striking emotional chords at the right moment is impressive. It eventually becomes overcrowded with ideas, but the episodic nature of Lex’s plan gave me ‘Justice League Unlimited’ vibes, and that exact comparison instantly elevated this experience. It won’t hit high notes for every fan, but it hopes to sing a different song that may potentially lay a spirited foundation for an exciting universe.
