Where to Watch Superman
- rg94005 dgn geledenSuperman had some really strong moments, and unfortunately, a ton of really weak moments. While the movie has a very clear overarching narrative, it stitches together a variety of vignettes that feel fairly distinct. It is definitely overstuffed, and a large part of that is the inclusion of the Justice Gang, a way for Gunn to shoehorn his silly ensemble cast into the movie to make it more in line with his other superhero content. Outside of Mr. Terrific, these characters create a ton of tonal whiplash and at times actually detract from the character moments for Superman. I felt like they took a moment that should have 100% belonged to him and gave it to them, at the expense of the movie. They aren't the only silly moments in the movie, with a lot of it feeling almost like a Marvel movie where comedic relief undercuts tension. I get that DC movies have been traditionally dark and dour, and Gunn wanted to break that mold and give us something zany and weird. Unfortunately, it is too far in the other direction and simply does not fit with the story he wants to tell. I highlight all of these negatives because they act against the best parts of the movie. This Superman actually has an interesting emotional core, and I liked the political messaging. There are some really heartfelt moments built on his earnestness. Though I will not write home about any of the acting, I do think the core of Corenswet, Brosnahan, and Hoult inhabit their characters well. The score is phenomenal and easily the best part of the movie. The cinematography is unique. There are lots of weird angles, close-up zooms onto character faces, and quick swivels. I watched the movie really up close and from the side, and in some regards, that helped because it actually offset the unusual stylistic choices. I honestly hated the look of it, but I respect it for trying something unique instead of the standard bland blockbuster style. That's the disappointing part of this movie though. It had the potential to be truly great, but it is bogged down by Gunn's indulgent need to showcase his comic book knowledge and overstuff his movies to the brim. A focused movie that amplified the best parts of this one would have actually stood out. However, as it is, Superman 2025 ends up feeling rather average and similar to this year's Thunderbolts. I think our baseline for superhero movies is just so low now, but this is far from an all-timer movie.
- Feklar744 juli 2026Henry Cavil was way better as Superman. This movie was so bad, it's a joke. From "Justice Gang", to making Clark's parents weak, this was like watching the 2nd attempt at Sucide Squad. Complete train wreck. They should have kept Cavil, a man would could do this performace with ease.
- RipLinesMan12 mei 2025Bro Event Horizon (1997) had Sam Neill goin full nightmare mode, cuttin out his own eyes while Laurence Fishburne tried to hold a cursed crew together on a ship that literally opened a gateway to hell. It was pure chaos and regret, bro. Superman hits just as hard but flips the whole thing, instead of fear and madness, it’s heart, hope, and someone actually fighting to pull people outta the fire. David Corenswet brings that same heavy leadership vibe as Fishburne, but he’s calm, kind, and built different. Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor gives off big Sam Neill energy, all smart and twisted, like he’s two bad decisions away from tearing open the fabric of reality just to prove a point. Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane? Bro she’s tougher than half the Event Horizon crew and smarter than the rest, and she never flinches. The story goes deep on who Superman is, what he stands for, and why the world needs him even when it doesn’t understand him. James Gunn cooked a wild one; action, emotion, legacy, all of it. Five stars bro. When Event Horizon opened a gateway to hell, Superman shows up in this one to fly straight through it and shut it down.
- Carter29 juni 2026Superman holds up on rewatch as one of the best comic book movies of the decade. Positives: - The movie is extremely well made, well directed, well shot, well edited, and well paced - The movie visually looks gorgeous; it’s a very colourful and exciting movie visually. The green screen and CGI looks fantastic - The score is excellent - The soundtrack is really good - The story is amazing - The performances are also amazing - The characters are so good; every single character has their own distinct personality and it works so well - The action sequences are awesome and executed so well - Superman’s character Ark is executed to perfection - There is a good romances in here - The side characters are a lot of fun - The Justice Gang Overall Superman is a perfect movie on rewatch and might just be the definitive Superman film for me.
- Joel8 juli 2025Marvel losing James Gunn to DC will go down as one of the biggest fumbles of all time. He just gets it man. This is what Superman should be. It’s bright, colorful, funny, and full of heart. Every character has such a distinct personality and look that feels ripped straight out of a comic. The score of course is great. John Murphy + the classic John Williams theme = peak. And Gunn really holds back on using pop music for most of this film, but the few needle drops really worked for me. I’m kinda all onboard for what Gunn is building at DC. This world is so fantastical and I’m ready to explore many more stories in it. He cooked.
- Ognjen Krejovic7 juni 2026The absolutely changed spirit of Superman compared to all the previous ones, in my opinion it's starting to look like a soap opera like Spanish series. The production is almost perfect, but the theme, idea, plot, way of framing, I don't know exactly what, my overall impression is that it's a different Superman and not the one we've been watching all these years, I don't know why I have that feeling, but I do :) And that's the point of this comment, how did someone like it without right and wrong ;)
- Sibertiger1731 mei 2026Worst Superman of all. Total stupidity. Complete nonsense and unexplained crap that you're scratching your head going WTF. Over the top dumb. I'd rather watch Lois and Clark from years ago. Even Man of Steel was tons better. This is just garbage. Superman and Lois with Tyler Hoechlin and Bitsy Tulloch IS THE best Superman out there. They ARE the roles. THAT is how you do a Superman story. Not this whimsical junk. James Gunn ruins everything he touches.
- jasonfin221 mei 2026Loved it! Other than the Batman movies I'm not really into superheroes so to my surprise I really enjoyed this one Action packed with a decent main story and sub stories and a nice helping of comedy and action so it kept me thoroughly entertained throughout. Well done James Gunn and all involved
