Wow... so you live in Belgium, Doctor?

SUPERMAN (2025): Superman, aided by Krypton the dog and the "Justice Gang," battles Lex Luthor. Sloppily-plotted, lore-heavy, obvious, by-the-comic-book feature enacting exactly the formula you expect from James Gunn. Disclaimer: I don't generally like superhero movies, and particularly not Superman movies, and Gunn is very hit or miss for me--when he's being lazy, as he is here, he's a miss. 2.5/5.

SUPERMAN (2025) I thought I'd balance the Rev's negative review with my own thoughts on this film.
The phrase "feel-good movie" is overused, to be sure, but I walked out of this movie with a smile on my face and hope in my heart.  Doing the right thing because it IS the right thing, and because you are striving to be a good person, is what this movie is all about.  The world needs more of that right now. 5/5

It has a good heart for sure but I'm not giving it bonus points for that. I put my disclaimer on there because I do think others are going to like it more than I did.

I just got back from seeing it and I thoughtfully enjoyed it. 

One of the things I loved most about it is that it does not try to deny or hide the fact that it's a superhero movie in the slightest.  There's no attempt to make it more grounded or more realistic.  The movie doesn't even question why there's 5th dimensional imps or giant growing monsters and portals to another dimension.  They're just there and I love it!
