Superman
James Gunn’s Superman reboot is fabulous. Gunn quickly cuts to the chase with a quick word summary about metahumans & Kryton’s favorite son’s arrival to Earth. Superman (David Corenswet) has been badly beaten losing for the first time. But how? Superdog Krypto comes to the rescue. It seems that Lex Luthor (Nicolas Hoult) is behind a sinister plot to disgrace & eliminated his nemesis Superman. Lex has the Engineer, the Hammer of Boravia (Ultraman), & his Luthorcorp Raptor soldiers at his command. From the start. Lois (Rachel Brosnahan) & Clack are already an item & she knows he’s Superman. The Justice Gang (Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, & Mister Terrific) arrives to help Superman. This film is action packed with fight scenes, a pocket universe, a kaiju, & a black hole rift. Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, & Perry White from the Daily Planet are along for the ride. An elemental alien named Metamorpho is forced to due Lex’s bidding. Look for many cameos, but you will have to listen for some of those voice cameos. Krypto is totally CGI animated & modeled to look & behave like Gunn’s actual dog. He is kind of a scene stealer. Hoult does an excellent job as the evil & obsessed villain. Audience will get to see this Superman’s greatest power as well as his vulnerability. There is one short mid credit clip & one final scene at the end of credits.
Alien gives it 3½ “secret harem & saving Joey” stars out of 4.
