This Superman soars—not by outmuscling Cavill’s brooding demigod or remaking Christopher Reeve’s gentle icon, but by capturing the sense of wonder that first hooked me as a child. When I watched Christopher Reeve’s Superman all those years ago, I felt the awe of a world made bright by heroes. Now, watching Corenswet’s take with my seven-year-old daughter, I can see her experiencing that same wide-eyed excitement. Gunn’s film hands the magic down—a perfect introduction for a new generation, every bit as joyous and inviting as it was for mine.

    The movie is overhyped just like sinners. It’s good but I don’t see what’s got people so crazy other than aesthetics. Forgot to add Weapons.

    Maybe the rest are so bland and uncreative that anything good comes out it’s hailed as great?

      It’s not only overrated it’s a bad movie. I might like this if I were a child. It’s all paper thin plotlines and characters. The total opposite of “show, don’t tell”.
