Intro: Did I really want to go and watch it? Not exactly, but I was indeed curious to see if DC could finally turn things around.
Film 2393: "Superman" (2025), James Gunn
Watched on: At the movies
Language: English
Watched with: Niamh
Thoughts: I wasn't sure what to expect about this movie: I'm not a huge Superman fan, but the reviews were good and James Gunn directed some of the best superheroe moments, so there was hope.
In general, 2025 "Superman" is a movie well done and entertaining, but I have to admit it didn't stick. I remember liking it while watching it, but now a few months later... do I remember anything that happens in the story (other than the dog and the cousin)? Not much. I had to rewatch the trailer to refresh my memory.
This is not to say that "Superman" isn't a good outing - again, I liked it - but it's nothing memorable, let's put it this way. The overall feeling is more Marvel-esque, Nicholas Hoult is a f*cking star and should be a more prominent A-lister, and I appreciated the fact that Lois already knows Clark's real identity, at least we get to skip that for once. Other than this... a good movie for the Summmer?
Cast: David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Angela Sarafyan, Alan Tudyk, Pom Klementieff, Bradley Cooper.
Box Office: $616.6 million
Worth a watch?: Superheroe movies and/or Superman fans should appreciate this new DC era, as a fresh(er) take on these characters seems to approach. Nothing that we haven't seen before, but enjoyable still. It's an easy watch enough, perfect for some good old fun.

Key word: Selfies.
