Yes yes yes โ this is the Superman weโve been waiting for.
With Superman (2025), James Gunn doesnโt just reboot a legendโhe revives the soul of the character. This is a film that understands Superman isnโt compelling in spite of his hopefulness, but because of it. Heโs earnest, powerful, conflicted, and, most importantly, kind.
The storytelling is sharp without sacrificing heart. The pacing never lags, the dialogue respects its audience, and the emotional stakes are grounded even when the action takes flight. The supporting cast is spot-on, and thereโs finally a Lois Lane who feels like an equalโsmart, gutsy, and emotionally resonant.
Visually, itโs stunning without being bloated. The action sequences deliver, but itโs the quiet moments that hit hardestโthose rare, earned pauses where we see the man beneath the cape.
Whether youโre a longtime fan or cautiously optimistic, this version of Superman bridges the myth with the man in a way that feels both classic and radically new.
A triumph. A reminder. A return to believing.
