SPOILER-FREE SUPERMAN in one sentence: The movie is far from perfect, but it's a solid and colorful reboot. PROS: - Great cast with plenty of charisma on screen - Visually impressive (the costumes looked better in motion than I could’ve imagined) - Best Lex Luthor ever - I loved the more down-to-earth take on Superman CONS: - Could've used more focus and fewer jokes - especially less Krypto - Hawkgirl (she was basically the goats from Thor: Love and Thunder) - The whole Kaiju sequence... just, why? I'm glad James Gunn didn’t aim to deliver the definitive Superman movie right out of the gate. There are lots of exciting ideas here, and I get the sense he's experimenting - even with what doesn’t quite work. I’ll be watching it again, and again, without a doubt. Judging by all the happy faces in the cinema when I left, I’m confident a lot of others will too.

That's a really fun flick, with (underdeveloped but )interesting characters, charismatic robots, amazing special effects and and a story that's above the average for Hollywood standards. I would totally watch it on the cinema. Nowadays, people have such pleasure to review bombing movies without even watching them: "I don't have to watch it to know it's bad". Well, Ignore them. Just grab some popcorn, turn off the lights and enjoy the ride. You have Netflix anyways and it's totally worth the time :)

Maybe it's because it's 2020, maybe it's because it's Christmas, or maybe it's because the movie is so wonderfully crafted and the soundtrack it's so incredible. It's truly a masterpiece and without spoiling anything, it's an emotional experience that makes every second worthwhile.
