Gunn's Superman: Hopeful, Silly, and Mostly Great
14 Jul
Summary
- James Gunn's Superman movie is exceptionally fun and engaging.
- The film embraces the character's inherent hopefulness and silliness.
- Despite flaws, it's a satisfying feature film since the early '80s.
After decades of cinematic struggles since the Christopher Reeve era, James Gunn's "Superman" has arrived as a triumphant and engaging feature. This new saga of Superman/Clark Kent, portrayed by David Corenswet, is unashamedly hopeful and embraces the character's inherent silliness.
The film masterfully navigates Superman's relationships, particularly with Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), and his profound mission on Earth. It offers both impressive spectacle and poignant emotional depth for the audience.
While the production is largely confident and an improvement over recent cinematic attempts like "Man of Steel" and "Superman Returns," it is not without its shortcomings. Despite a few egregious missteps, "Superman" is ultimately an enthralling movie worthy of significant praise.
