With Superman 2025 premiering on HBO-Max today, I figured what better time than now for a review? In short, I really enjoyed this version of Superman a great deal. I like how the new film hits the ground running, by not bothering with retelling the origin story. David Corenswet is a good choice as Superman, with Nicolas Holt being absolutely fantastic as Lex Luthor (Hoult's my new favorite version of the character, aside from Gene Hackman, who was so good in the '78 version).
And James Gunn adding the Justice Gang was an inspired idea. I really liked how the DC Comics universe--with all its heroes and villains--is fully formed around this Superman, who still manages to stand out among them. The storyline is gripping and fast-paced, with Superman being given a lot of challenges to overcome, and watching him do so is all part of the fun. A vastly entertaining movie that's recommended.
