6 Thoughts on Superman (Review)
This review is about two weeks late and I apologize for that. Such is life, eh? Anyway, I saw Superman opening weekend in the theater and had a blast. I was very much looking forward to this movie and had nothing but faith in James Gunn to deliver, and he did so in spades. Great film!
Movie Rating: 9/10 – Great
I was mostly lukewarm on all the DCEU movies. I didn’t care for Man of Steel and, even though I think I’ve only seen it that one time in theaters, I just don’t care for it. I probably enjoyed Joss Whedon’s Justice League more than Zack Snyder’s Justice League. I enjoyed both Aquaman movies. But I am more than ready for James Gunn to deliver a new, better DC Cinematic Universe. Let’s hope they’re all as good as Superman.
Join me after the jump for my full review and thoughts on Superman. Expect SOME SPOILERS for the movie. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 2/8/25
There are so many good comics I wish I had kept reading, but had dropped for whatever unimportant reason. I really, really want to get caught back up with Scarlet Witch! And Birds of Prey! But one comic I’m not dropping anytime soon is…
Comic Book of the Week goes to Absolute Superman #4, which is probably my favorite of the Absolute comics. They’ve all been phenomenal so far, but Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval are working some real magic with this new Superman!
Meanwhile, I’m still playing through Dragon Age: Veilguard and Stardew Valley, so I have successfully been able to stop myself from splurging on Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, though I will very much be playing that game soon! Currently making my way through the final season of Doom Patrol at long last, am really enjoying the new season of Severance, and am reading Marjorie Finnegan: Temporal Criminal by Garth Ennis. Fun book!
Comic Reviews: Absolute Superman #4.

The hype has been building all week and the trailer is finally here! Our first look at James Gunn’s Superman movie!
I dig it! I like almost all of the elements in this trailer and I am fully on board with this vision of Superman. I’m fully on board with everything James Gunn wants to do or would like to do. I don’t think he has ever led me astray. So bring it on!
I loved Krypto. I loved the look of Superman and pretty much all of the characters. I dig the tone. And we don’t know much of anything yet, so it definitely counts as just a teaser. We see a ton of stuff in this trailer and all of it looks good to me.
The only thing I don’t like is the reliance on the original Superman movie theme and any of that imagery. I know that everybody loves those original Christopher Reeves movies…but I don’t really care about them. And I don’t want every single new Superman adaptation to be beholden to them. I know that musical score is fantastic…but c’mon. This was a great chance to be wholly original. Ah well. I’m never going to win that argument.
Superman comes to theaters on July 11.
