- Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: Gunn not only takes major inspiration from the comic book source material, he embraces it whole heartedly.
- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Superman is less punk rock as he is yacht rock.
- Alex Bentley @
- Excerpt: Not everyone in this Superman will be familiar to viewers, but in the end a group of people working together toward a goal that serves the common good is one worth watching and cheering for.
- David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: The goal was not to claim it as an all-time classic but rather to establish a solid foundation for what to expect in this new universe. And by that, I believe it’s one of the more satisfying films that effectively captures the hero.
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: Starts out wobbly, tasked as its first act is with as much exposition as might be found in a film exploring Superman’s origin story. Yet, like the Man of Steel himself, James Gunn wrenches his film from its tailspin and then zips it into a fine superhero tale full of action, thrills, nifty CGI, and humor.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Writer/director James Gunn’s fingerprints are all over his refreshingly new take on Superman… To see a man flying has never felt so visceral, cinematographer Henry Braham making us feel the force of the air rushing past at supersonic speeds.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Actor David Corenswet soars as a kind, old-school version of the superhero. I only wish the movie gave him more space to breathe between the whiplash of cruelty and comedy.medy.
- Kristian Lin @ Fort Worth Weekly
- Excerpt: Grounding in current events makes this the best Superman movie in this century.
- Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: Superman feels like a Saturday morning cartoon brought to life—chaotic, goofy, with a dash of serious undertones. David Corenswet & Rachel Brosnahan have great chemistry as Clark and Lois. Hoult’s Lex is fine. Not a flawless start for the DCU, but I’m curious to see what’s next.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: It comes down to two men acting without oversight to save humanity. One does so with hope in his heart no matter the consequences to his own reputation. The other with hate by manipulating those consequences to serve his own selfish agenda.
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘Superman’ returns to the big screen in mostly triumphant fashion. David Corenswet makes a strong impression as 2025’s new Man of Steel, while James Gunn proves himself an intriguing steward of this new DC vision, both of this fresh take on the character and the sprawling universe that’s starting to form around him.
- Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
- Excerpt: James Gunn’s Superman is an antidote to “darker and grittier,” full of moments that inspire and wow. But when you pull it all back, it’s one person trusting in the light inherent in all of us and the hope that we can do the same.
- Christopher Reed @ Film Festival Today
- Excerpt: It’s a lot better than I feared it would be (did we really need another Superman so soon?), yet also not all that great.
- [New] | Diego Salgado @ Sofilm [Spanish]
- Jeff Schaefer @ The Marquee Topic
- Excerpt: James Gunn’s opening gambit for the revitalized DCEU finally hits screens with David Corenswet donning the iconic blue suit and red briefs of Superman as he faces off against Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor.
- Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It’s a fun film of surprisingly decent length (just two hours!) that introduces us to a new Superman, establishes a new DC Universe, and manages to convey relevant and politically impactful themes. What more could we ask for?
