'Superman' Review: The Most Comic Book Movie Ever - For Better and For Worse
Briefly

James Gunn's Superman film celebrates comic books with vibrant visuals and an emotional narrative. The film features various superheroes, Easter eggs, and a significant emotional connection to Krypto, the super-dog. The portrayal of Superman at a low point highlights his struggles, contrasted with moments of earnestness and charm. Despite its chaotic and overstuffed nature, the film's sincerity and enthusiasm resonate, making viewers feel a connection to both Superman's journey and the comic book world.
Gunn's love for Superman is so abundant that it threatens to overflow. It shows in the niche Easter eggs (hypno-glasses! robots!) that are littered throughout the movie.
Superman opens with its titular hero at a low point: three years after making his debut as Superman, he's just lost his first battle.
