Okay, let’s just start with the obvious, the new Superman is a total dreamboat. Like, forget broody and gloomy, this Supes walks in with sunshine energy, soft eyes, and the kind of heroic charm that makes you believe in good people again. From the moment he enters, there’s a sense of calm strength that hooks you.
But plot twist… it’s not just him stealing the show.
Enter his four-legged foster buddy, Krypto. Yes, our caped crusader has a literal superdog, and their bond is everything. That whistle-and-run moment? I melted. I’ve seen more forced love stories in rom-coms than the natural chemistry between these two. It’s wholesome, it’s adorable, and honestly? Give the dog a spin-off already.
The action? Top-tier. This version doesn’t just punch bad guys, he flies with feeling. The flying scenes are shot so beautifully it almost feels like poetry in motion. You feel the weight of the world he’s carrying, and yet he soars like it’s light as air.
But what surprised me was how emotionally grounded everything was. This wasn’t just a punch-fest with flashy VFX. It gave us emotional beats, little moments of reflection, and a Superman who feels, not just saves.
Let’s talk about the romance, because wow. Finally, a Supes who’s not scared to wear his heart on his sleeve. His dynamic with Lois Lane felt real—supportive, balanced, cute without being cheesy. They bicker, they flirt, they have moments of raw honesty. No damsel energy here, just two people vibing on the same wavelength while the world burns in the background. And honestly? Kinda relatable.
Now, I wasn’t expecting much from the storyline, but color me shocked. The script has layers. It brings in themes that feel very now—power, responsibility, politics without getting preachy, and the whole “can you still be good in a messed-up world” debate. But it balances all that heavy stuff with humor and heart. Never feels like a lecture. Just… real storytelling with purpose.
There are a lot of characters, sure, and some of them could’ve used a bit more screen time, but overall? It’s a fresh take that works. This isn’t your dad’s Superman, it’s something new, something more human, and way more fun.
The new Superman is fun without being silly, emotional without being a sob-fest, and powerful without the need to constantly flex. It gives us a hero we want to root for, a dog we want to adopt, and a world we’re curious to explore more of.
It’s not just a good superhero movie, it’s a reminder that even in chaos, hope can still wear a cape.
Wanna feel things while watching a guy fly through the sky with his superdog and save the world with kindness? This one’s for you. Go watch it, and thank me later!
