    The rating is actually 6.8 even meant to edit that. Def too low.

    The only absurd thing was DeNiros "GF" freaking out over him saying he has to do 1 more thing and then they could get together. She never even comited to him before so wtf is the problem lol

    The early part of the movie felt average because the protagonist gets sidelined with severe injury, a somewhat sad moment. But the mid and late parts become more interesting, as he recovers and claws his way back to relevance and competition. I still find the prequel (released in 2011) to be slightly better and more funny though.

    Overall: 7.5/10

    It's interesting to see Axe provide a somewhat serious review for something. Even giving an overall score from 1 to 10. His current avatar also gives it a different, more serious feel.

    Perhaps he meant to use a different account.

    I’m down with giving it a 7.5 but I admit I like good noir movies so it’s a bit inflated.

    Good premise and good cast and pretty well executed. Good movie.

    Vanilla Sky





    **** man. An emotional watch. Very thought provoking movie, on many levels.

    Another one where I dont understand the lowly rating.

    Sad but very interesting and makes you think. A movie about love and life.

    The last 30 minutes are classic stuff imo.

    Damn.

    7.8/10

    Superman 2025 works for me, no complaints over here

    8.5/10



    Not a 10/10 masterpiece... but it got close at times. It's a must watch film and should tug at your emotions a little. It's messy, A $hit ton of characters, and has some flaws, But there is so much more to like about this movie than there is to dislike.

    The political undertones did not bother me. I thought the love story fit in nicely, not overdone. Overall just a good family film with a solid life message. The CGI was amazing, action was solid, and I would rank it above any of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies which had the same type of cartoon feel, but yet unique in it's own way. This film qualifies as a piece of ART. The new Superman theme music is great too.

    went in with low expectations... because it's not the dark, serious type of movie that I typically enjoy, but walked away satisfied.

    If it's not your cup of tea, that's very understandable... but it worked for me.



    From the Rumors online.... we are getting a more serious and dark Spiderman movie w/ Punisher and Hulk... which could be a possible 10/10 masterpiece.

    I don't know what to make of the Superman reviews. I'm subscribed to a number of movie reviewers on YT and they're all over the place.

    It's going to get mixed reviews... Personally I thought it started out very strong, and somewhere towards the end it started to fall off a little.

    My 8.5 score was probably a little too high.... but I was very entertained and that's what I need from a movie.



    I saw the new Jurassic Park movie in theaters... and Superman destroyed it in terms of entertainment value.

    Yeah by most accounts I've seen/read that Jurassic Park landed with a thud.

    Doomsday I have to ask what are you smoking. I saw Superman today and I thought it was terrible. Like really, really awful.

    Not seeing how this was in any way a good family film. There's a lot of swearing, a lot of over the top violence and a lot of long boring conversations about geopolitics. I didn't see this movie with a small child but I can't imagine they would find this movie entertaining. The movie already starts on such a dour note and then within 10 minutes there's a long drawn out scene of Clark and Lois arguing about international affairs.

    I definitely would not call this a family film or even a good wholesome movie period. I'm sure in James Gunn's sick twisted mind that's what he thinks he made, but it was not that at all. It was a dumb, shallow, chaotic mess. When I think of the type of person who would find this movie entertaining I can't help but picture some low IQ edgelord with arrested development who hasn't emotionally moved on from junior high. That and uber comic nerds who have no standards whatsoever and are just happy to consume anything that has a Marvel or DC branding attached to it.

    James Gunn is a very troubled man and it shows. Just look at how the dog is depicted in this movie. Again in his weird mind he thought the dog would be endearing because "hey dogs are crazy sometimes right??"... lol no actually. This dog is wild and doesn't listen. He's not cute, he's dangerous and he's annoying. This Superman can't even keep his fukking dog in check.

    I could go on. There are a million things I could criticize. Just a weird, bizarre movie.

    I hope it bombs and WB loses as much money as they can.

    When I say "family film".... it depends on the child.

    Some children are exposed to the real world at an early age, some are overly sheltered and never exposed to anything until they hit high school or hit puberty.

    My parents took me to see Die Hard when I was 9 years old.... I raised my kids the same way.

    There is a balance that needs to be upheld, you want to protect a child's innocence, but yet they need to be introduced the harsh elements of reality simultaneously.

    I don't see any reason why a 3rd grader can't see this film.



    Louis & Clark fighting about political issues... is more about two adult people in a relationship arguing... not the politics it self.

    I saw that scene as more about "relationships" as opposed to "Politics" .... the focal point of that scene is Louis saying "I knew this was never going to work" because they had a different views.



    one reviewer called the film "a beautiful mess".... and that's kinda what life is.... a beautiful mess.

    The whole motto of the film is that you're gonna make mistakes even if your Superman.... as you pointed out, he couldn't keep his dog in check.

    A "family film" is supposed to be a movie that everyone in the family can enjoy. Mom, dad, brother, sister, grandma, grandpa. That's cool that your parents allowed you to watch Die Hard but that doesn't mean it was a family film. Those were rated-R movies not intended for children.

    I just don't know why a filmmaker would take that kind of approach to this kind of film. There is not supposed to be anything "edgy" about Superman. He's classic coke. He's vanilla ice cream. That is what makes him great and that is his appeal. The cursing, the violence, the weirdness, combined with international politics, it just didn't feel very family friendly to me. I don't think children have the patience for this kind of movie. I didn't even have the patience. I was looking at the time 20 minutes in.

    I'm not even sure what the "motto" of this movie was supposed to be, but if that is you're interpretation, "we all make mistakes"... that is very odd choice for a Superman movie. That to me sounds like someone who is trying to tear down Superman and not uplift him. That's not what the audience wants or expects from this character. He is supposed to be a beacon who inspires people to be the best version of themselves. We are supposed to see him doing extraordinary things and overcome impossible challenges. This Superman gets his ass kicked the ENTIRE movie.

    James Gunn is a woke lefty weirdo. This is a guy who unironically believes in toxic masculinity so it's no surprise he doesn't believe in what Superman is supposed to be represent. That's why he has to tear him down. Look at how he even distorted his kryptonian family origin and made them out to be evil. FFS he doesn't even save Lois at any point in the movie. How tf do you make a Superman movie and not have him save Lois. Literally one of the core aspects of the character.

    For the crime of making this movie and releasing it to the public, James Gunn should have to serve 72 hours in Luthor's pocket universe prison.
