Superman (James Gunn, July 11, 2025) Movie • Page 35

Hey grim, did you like this or Rebirth more?

 

Had to google what rebirth was because I legit didn’t know that was the title for that slop

 

Hahaha love that for you.

 

Oh, how could I forget? How nice was it to have a Pa Kent who didn’t want Clark to let kids die to protect himself? Obviously, a much smaller role in this one, but he nailed his main scene with Clark. In that one conversation, it just did such a better job of staying true to their relationship.

In James Gunn we trust.

 

What the hell was his mom’s accent though?

 

I saw someone mention it before seeing it. The way it was described, I was expecting worse. But it did feel odd.

 

I’ve been sick of superhero shit for years but damn I fully loved this. Felt like being dropped right into a 90s Saturday morning cartoon.

 

Definitely the most fun movie I've seen this year.

 

Really great movie. David Corenswet is now my favorite Superman.

 

As said, no one in Kansas or anywhere in the Midwest talks like that. It’s always the Hollywood go-to accent for us.

 

Sorry boys but this fucking ripped. The opening sequence was the closest I’ve gotten as an adult to that feeling of being a kid and seeing the original Superman or Star Wars or some weird knockoff droid/hero/sci-fi movie and not being able to quantify or contextualize it so it just goes straight into your veins and into your nervous system. I was immediately plugged in and vibing. It was perfect fun.

It wasn’t perfect as a movie but it was a hell of a movie that kept being what a popcorn movie should be: entertaining, surprising, bigger than life, outrageous, on-the-nose when needed, virtuous, etc etc. No sequence felt like a slog to me, even if I can acknowledge not everything was maybe my favorite choice.

I have to ask though. What happens between when Superman exits the portal after being rescued and when Jimmy and Mutant Toe’s are on the phone? I took a 1 minute pee break. Proud of myself for only needing one.

Finally, how can anyone who is a Superman fan not walk away excited by this movie? Even the extra scenes were pure fun and not encumbered by anything other than sparking joy in a viewer.

Actors Who've Played Superman on Screen, from Dean Cain to Christopher Reeve and Beyond

 

Loved this so much. Such a feel good movie.

Definitely can't wait to see it a second time with my son.

 

Exactly how I felt.

 

I don’t know about a Jimmy show.

 

Jimmy Olsen, Superman's Pal. It worked in the comics.

Greg can't see this, can someone do me a solid?

 

Make it a sitcom about him and Eve and I’m in.

 

Mr Terrific was terrific

 

I liked Jimmy well enough in this, but he didn’t really do much besides be burdened with hot women who wanna jump his bones.

If that show comes to fruition, I hope it leans into the gonzo joy of classic Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen comics. Have him transform into monsters. Rope him into wild sci-fi criminal shenanigans. Heck, do an episode where he’s in drag! (With a queer person steering that story so it doesn’t land in bad tropes, lol.)

 

Eh, I don’t know if we need a show where the focus is on a guy who is with a woman he doesn’t actually like. Not that it couldn’t be about him coming around on her and all that. I just think there’s a butt load of other characters that would be far more interesting.

 

Ya he stole the show. His fight scene at the military camp was the best in the whole movie.

 

I have yet to see a show with Skyler in it that was bad so I'll take it!

 

This was delightful and everything I needed it to be

 

Prior to seeing this, I was in the “They could make Battinson fit in this universe if they really wanted to” camp.

After seeing this, I would be absolutely flabbergasted if they made Pattinson the Batman of this universe.
