Superman (2025)

James Gunn’s superman has been shown to be one of the most controversial films of this year, immediately fascinating fans for a refurbished DC Cinematic Universe and criticizing Henry Cavill and Zack Snyder fans, as well as people who just didn’t believe it was a very good movie.
I didn’t really like the movie. Not because I think it was a mistake for Gunn to remodel Superman, to worry about you. I really liked Cavill in the role, but I like David Corenswet just as much. I think it’s an excellent choice and did a great job. My problems with Superman were about writing and direction. Like Snyder, Gunn has a very unique style. No manager was the right choice for Superman. You can read my review of Superman for a more thorough explanation of my complaints.
One of the main things I wonder after watching a movie is “I would like to see it again?” Sometimes the answer is “Yes, as soon as possible. I return the cinema theater next week!” Then I really love a movie as it happened with the best film of this year, Arms. Most of the time, the answer “Yes, but I will wait to go out for streaming” or “Yes, but I will wait until I get 4K Blu-ray”.
If this is your answer for SuperhumanYou’re in luck. DC has just announced that the film will arrive at HBO Max this Friday, September 19th. It is available for weeks at VOD, but now you can watch for free (despite your HBO subscription max).
Of course, my answer to this question after superman was watching “No, I don’t think I’ll watch it again”. However, in the past weeks, I have decided that I would probably watch it again. Not because I thought it was a brilliant cinematic production, but because I’m curious if my mind would change at all in a second screening. I doubt it, but you never know. Has happened before.
In related news, we also know that the continuation of the Superman will be called Man of Tomorrow and will be released just two years after the first film’s theatrical debut. It seems that Superman will work with opponent Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) this time, which means that the next villain should be really scary. Of course, with Gunn once again behind the steering wheel I am nervous that this will be as disappointing as the first movie. I like Gunn as a director. I enjoy the broadcast of Peacemaker At the moment and the first Galaxy guardians The movie remains one of my favorite MCU moves. It’s not just the right choice for Superman. Oh well.
