  • [7]tmdb14343666 @tmdb14343666TMDB review · Jul 7, 2025 · Rated 2/10

    Superman (2025) aims high but ultimately falls flat. While it offers a few flashes of visual spectacle, the story feels disjointed and the pacing drags. Characters lack depth, and the emotional beats never quite land. It’s a disappointing entry that struggles to capture the magic fans expect. Sadly, it’s more forgettable than fantastic. 4/10.

  • [2]r96sk @r96skTMDB review · Jul 18, 2025 · Rated 9/10

    'Superman' is the best Supes film that I've seen - and I highly enjoyed 2013's 'Man of Steel', so that is actually saying something. I was surprised at how great this 2025 edition is, like at no point was I ever doubting what I was seeing - it's a fab 2hrs. I had seen snippets from a few trailers for this and, in truth, wasn't really vibing with it back then. The lead actor seemed a bit underwhelming, the dialogue …

  • [3]MovieGuys @MovieGuysTMDB review · Jul 21, 2025 · Rated 7/10

    Putting all else aside, James Gunn's "Superman" succeed's because it adopts a comfortably familiar, wholly "likeable", approach. This film borrows heavily from the 70's Superman franchise. Its look, its feel, right down to costumes, harks back to that era. As does, the very simple, down to earth main character, capably played by David Corenswet. I personally, could not but recall Christoper Reeve, in his …

  • [6]rssp55 @rssp55TMDB review · Jul 12, 2025 · Rated 7/10

    Well, I enjoyed it. The writing felt a bit all over the place but most of the jokes were on point, the action was very enjoyable, and I think giving Superman a more classic comic feel and less of the apocalyptic Snyder vibe was a good change. Everyone here does a great job with the acting. Lois and Jimmy are, in my opinion, the standouts. Nicholas Hoult wasn't a great choice for Luthor, with his more manic energy. …

  • [8]YearOneFun @YearOneFunTMDB review · Aug 25, 2025

    James Gunn`s Superman is Supergirl's bitch. ChatGPT wrote the story and dialogue of this movie. MCU inspired humor that is overused and overdone in modern movies. Bad acting from all the actors in this movie. Especially David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan. Clark & Lois have no chemistry with one another. This movie is so BAD, it feels and looks more like a cheap rip-off of the real superman we know and love. No …

How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 354 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people.

Critics, per Wikipedia

Superman grossed $354.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $264.5 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $618.7 million. It is the tenth highest-grossing film of 2025, the highest-grossing superhero film of that year, and the first DC film to surpass all Marvel films released within a single year since The Dark Knight in 2008. Umberto Gonzalez at TheWrap described this as a "stunning reversal of fortune" for Marvel. According to Variety, the film was expected to earn a theatrical profit of approximately $125 million, while Bloomberg Businessweek and TheWrap both reported that the film earned over $100 million in profit through a combination of ticket sales, online…

    On a lighter note, we saw Superman last night and I liked it rather a lot. It's very clearly a James Gunn film with his interests and cadences, but I like those, so it's fine. Also, the actor David Corenswet reminds me the most of in this role is not any former Superman actor but Brendan Fraser.
