Some users are also saying that this is the “best Superman ever!”

One user commented, “Superman perfectly understands what it means to be human. It’s a powerful and promising start to the new DCU. The film moves you by revealing the heart behind the cape. David is phenomenal but a huge highlight is how Nicholas Hoult delivers a phenomenal Lex Luthor — cold, charismatic, and menacing — one of the best villains DC has EVER brought to the screen. The score and sound design are out of this world. You feel every note; every impact makes you soar inside.”

Another user commented, “James Gunn absolutely nailed it with #Superman. From the music and VFX to the camerawork and humor, he crafted the ideal light-hearted, kid-friendly family film for the summer. Every character had standout moments—especially Krypto. Nicholas Hoult was outstanding as Lex Luthor. Having also auditioned for #Superman, it felt like he poured everything into the role—delivering each line with intensity and purpose. His obsession with taking down Superman was next level, and he was genuinely impressive to watch.”

One user reacted, “Superman is the best the Man of Steel has been all millennium. Gunn's take is a smart study with a compelling immigrant diaspora arc at its core. David Corenswet nails the Clark's truest nature: a midwest dork trapped in a hunk body, instilling hope for all. emphasis on HOPE.”

Another user reacted, “SUPERMAN is FLAT-OUT GOOD. Brimming with hope, optimism, & wearing its heart on its sleeve. It’s a different kind of comic book film, one that truly feels like a comic brought to life. David Corenswet is SUPERB, a #Superman for all seasons. James Gunn nails the spirit of the character & this DC universe.”

One user said, “It was maybe my most anticipated movie of the year, and it really blew me away. James Gunn and his amazing cast & crew really got to the heart of what makes a good Superman story for me: it's hopeful, even when things seem hopeless. I hope everyone else digs it too.”
